Can't wait to see how poppin' this thread gets today!

Barr must resign! This press conference this morning might as well have been Giuliani. The AG is not supposed to make excuses and explanations for what Trump did. Fuck me.

Skuj 04.18.2019 04:55 PM

To me this report is basically "Here's some Obstruction, and here's some other Obstruction, and here's even more Obstruction, but we cannot say that he Obstructed."

There are many reasons why I am not a lawyer.

Every now and then I look at the Fox "News" site just for a laugh. I am very surprised today. I expected COMPLETE VINDICATION, but there are some fair headlines and criticisms of Trump today. Has the tide turned at Fox?

Mary Katharine Ham on CNN set dealing TRUTH and reality......see the bitterness on the faces of those sitting next to her......not hard to imagine !@#$%!, The Soup Nazi and Skuj with the same facial expressions = sad, very sad!

Don’t miss her words at the very end:

“There was no collusion, it is good news, it’s great news he wasn’t a foreign asset......and he’s a duly elected President.”

I'm a Captain. Are your heels together?

There is only so much that a sane person can handle.

It always made me laugh that CNN is apparently Fake News, but then the accusers quote from Daily Wire, Fox "News", Judicial Watch, Etc.

!@#$%! 04.18.2019 07:12 PM

lmao no. i always manspread.

“The President’s efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the president declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests,” the special counsel wrote.

I mean, WTF? Doesn't that conclude that Trump TRIED to influence the investigation? Just because he didn't succeed, thanks to others, doesn't lessen the fact that he BROKE THE FUCKING LAW.

Please explain this to my legality-challenged brain, good people who I did not block.

I mean, this shit is mind-boggling. If Trump can walk away from this, and everyone in team Trump can shout "Total Vindication", then I have completely lost my faith in humanity.

Didn't they call Reagan the Teflon President? Nothing stuck to him?

This is Teflonx100.

I'm looking at the whole thing elsewhere, and honestly, it is lightly redacted, and I get why.

Even on the fucking Collusion front he is not completely in the clear.

Barr seriously needs to resign.

where?

the post is really the best at political coverage. i have subscriptions everywhere (too many, need to cut down) and they beat the nyt and wsj and pretty much everyone else at this very specific niche. seriously.

last i scanned the news turns out mueller was not pursuing collusion but conspiracy (the difference now elides me and i dont have time to research). and yes, no collusion. he already said that much a long time ago.

so let that source go. tv is shit for morons (except for bloomberg, bloomberg tv is fucking awesome).


there are questions questions on obstruction of justice though


here the latest


https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...96e_story.html

check them out.



oh, another, even more insider baseball, is THE HILL

It's clear from the report that Team Trump knew about the release of dirt/emails on Clinton, but were not forthcoming about any of it to officialdom, and in some aspects, they lied. This is not a clear-cut definition of collusion per se, but it can be argued, and Mueller does argue, that Team Trump held hands with Russia on these activities, and concealed much.

This idea that Trump is squeaky clean on Russian interference/help is absolute fucking garbage.
