The Mueller report concludes it was not needed

[quote]How would you like to spend two years and $30 million assembling a report that concludes you were not needed in the first place? Voila: the Mueller report. Nice work if you can get it.

The report is appropriately thick, D.C. thick. It takes more than 400 pages to state the obvious: there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians to swing the 2016 election. Zip, nada, nothing to see here.

It goes on to tee up a question about obstruction of justice that the special counsel was not asked to investigate — and then doesn’t answer it. Wait, what?

These are some of the most elite prosecutors in the country and they went full Hamlet on a legal determination a third-year law student would knock down between Budweisers. This is what we get for $30 million? Make a call; that’s your job as prosecutors.

It doesn’t seem the special counsel team is fooling anyone. They showed that they would indict a ham sandwich if they could. The obvious answer is that they had no confidence in a criminal obstruction case.

Instead, they punted to the Trump-appointed attorney general. One gets the sense this may have been by design.

Well, what about all the Russians who were indicted by Mueller’s team for trying to interfere with the election? Those were chip shot FBI counterintelligence investigations, well in flow, when the special counsel took them over. They didn’t need special counsel magic.

Had they remained FBI-controlled cases, the indictments would have been sealed and the subjects arrested when they likely returned to the United States for more mischief in 2020. We can forget about that now.

Attorney General William Barr during his press conference early Thursday said that the “bottom line” is that no American coordinated, conspired or colluded with the Russian government to interfere in the presidential election. America should be grateful, he added.[/quote]
