JFC, page 1. There were numerous links between the Campaign and Russia. Both sides thought they would benefit but they didn't coordinate the effort.

Key paragraph regarding why Mueller could not exonerate Trump

This suggests that Mueller wanted to end the investigation so it could be sent to Congress since they are the ones with the power to act against Trump.

Or....
This suggests that he found there was no collusion or conspiracy, so why continue the investigation?

This is not what is in the report. There is tons of evidence.

PAGE 182!!! Mueller says that this report does NOT exonerate the president. He also says that Congress still has ability to find that he obstructed justice.

Just to stare the obvious - Rudy is Trump's personal lawyer and not a public official. That means by implication that a private citizen was given access ahead of time.

Yes. This is a massive violation of the law. Rudy is a private citizen with no security clearance. He has no business viewing grand jury reports and he does not hold a government security clearance.

Also I just read that Australia will be releasing some documents they were withholding until the Mueller investigation was finished.
Five Eyes is on the case. Not looking good for the Donald. Why is DJT losing his mind on Twitter right now if he’s so innocent?

Someone on CNN just made a good point. If Trump is happy and feels this is vindication, why is a 55 page rebuttal needed?

ever done Lincoln-Douglass debates?

bottom line - You know your "enemy" as well as you know yourself.

It would be stupid to just skip off, thinking there would be no more scrutiny.

So the dope on CNN should skip off instead.

Douglas - one S - don't want to be called stupid on this thread

Did he say anything at all about obstruction in the presser? If so I missed it.

10 instances of obstruction but this obstruction doesn't meet the evidentiary standard because the intent wasnt to subvert justice it was to subvert politics (paraphrasing).

He's clear. There is, according to Mueller's findings, no evidence of collusion, which is what many of us have been saying.

So here's the next step. Make sure the Ds are unified. Find the BEST candidate who will be tough on immigration and who will figure out the best plan for healthcare, and move on.

Your best defense is a strong offense.

And to the Rs? Keep the faith that someone strong enough (Weld?) will be a rival.

He said "between the Trump Campaign" - he was silent as to non-campaign players. That is what will be in Section 3, which is likely to be black sheets of paper.

Did you see him squirm? I sure as hell didn't.

This took years.

As many of us have said before - again and again and again - if ANYTHING could have knocked him down, it would have come out sooner.

Stop living in the past and move forward.

The more useless energy you place on Trump, the weaker the Ds become. Fragmentation in politics isn't a good look.
