Collusion between Trump and Barr. Barr is supposed to be the Attorney General of the United States — the people of the nation; the top law enforcement officer. He is NOT supposed to be the White House Counsel or Trump’s personal attorney (Trump’s Roy Cohn). Those are separate positions filled separately.
But now we know that Barr has colluded with Trump. He has shared the contents of the report with Trump’s people prior to public release, in contrast with all legal norms (remember when CONservatives went completely ballistic because Obama’s Attorney General met with a FORMER president in a brief, casual exchange on a tarmac?).
As a result, Trump’s attorneys have already prepared a 35-page rebuttal to the Mueller report. (Note: when the jury comes back with a NOT GUILTY verdict, you don’t need a rebuttal. The fact Trump needs a rebuttal proves that Mueller did NOT exonerate Trump.
Barr, who has a record of writing dishonest “summaries” going back to his time in the George H.W. Bush White House that were later caught is personally interfering in a process.
Barr wrote a summary that Mueller investigators called inaccurate, and now he wants to have a “press conference” BEFORE releasing the actual (redacted) report so he can spin it his way instead of letting the report speak for itself.
Barr and Trump colluding.
Once before an Attorney General decided to be the personal lawyer of the president and he ended up going to jail. (Nixon’s first Attorney General, John Mitchell.)
The saddest attribute of the fans of the resident is their acceptance of disinformation and their willingness to dismantle our constitutional democratic republic and follow the whims of a dishonest, dysfunctional person in their disestablishment fervor as they seek to attain a society that makes them special and those that they hate/fear/envy irrelevant. If a dictator can pardon himself there is no limit to the things he/she can gleefully dismantle. The question becomes, are we so apathetic that we will allow the disinformed to take over ownership of American values or will we rescue them and ourselves from such a fate with knowledge and truth?
I’m just confused. If the report totally exonerates everyone from everything, why is a rebuttal necessary? Is the rebuttal refuting the total exoneration claim? Or is this another example of truth isn’t truth? Of course, I’m old and confused anyway, but this passes bewildering.
I’m saddened and disgusted that Democrats aren’t taking the propaganda rag that the “redacted” version will be, and simply burning it on the Capitol steps.
Today Barr is saying that Trump’s attempts at obstruction do not count because they they were done so publicly.
I now am waiting for someone to commit some especially heinous murders with plenty of witnesses and say that it does not count because of being public. They could call it the “Trump in Plain Sight Defense”.
Ah, yes, the ol’ wrapping oneself in the flag to spit at the Constitution thing…………..What did all intelligent people know (and all honest people admit) long before the Mueller Report? (1) Donald Trump is unfit to be the president of the United States of America—or the president of an 8th grade student council. (2) Members of the Trump administration and/or his campaign colluded with Russia—most notably Paul Manafort, Don Jr., and Jared Kushner. But many others. (3) Donald Trump fired James Comey in order to OBSTRUCT JUSTICE. (In Li’l Donnie’s defense, very few career criminals like to be investigated, and will try their damnedest to obstruct justice…….)
From the Mueller Report that Trump wasn’t involved in the Russian hacking. However he and his people cheered it on, and
amplified its effects. The report lays out where Trump and his people worked to obstruct justice. Where he and his people worked to conspire to subvert the 2016 election in his favor. The Mueller report does not conclude that Pres. Trump committed a crime they can fully prove. However it does not in any way exonerate him of guilt, either.
Mueller & his people took a conservative approach to the evidence and situation.At one point it was decided by them that continuing pursuit of it would not sustain a guilty verdict. (This without interviews under oath of the President and his children involved in this.) So he sent it all to the Congress to hash over. (Except for those sent ot the states for their own prosecutions if any.)
Collusion itself isn’t necessarily illegal. Conspiracy is illegal as is collaboration with a foreign power involved in our elections as the evidence found of the connexions between Trump his people and Russians involved. Proof that they are all of the same mind isn’t something easily found out.

William Barr should take heed.

Barr is a tool and not to be trusted. I would like to have Mueller be given the redacted version and hear from him if it is worth anything.

Think of the Muller Report as prequel for the main story, on the way from the Southern District of New York.

We still haven’t seen the real Mueller report or Trump’s taxes or even his school records.
The paranoid old liar has to hide everything, what a creep.

I will never accept crime boss racist Trump as a real president.
He is a Republican aberration, they bring out the worst in everyone.
Hopefully the Republican party will self destruct before they destroy the country.
