Сделаем Америку снова великой! Trump - Russia megathread
Re: Сделаем Америку снова великой! Trump - Russia megathread
Barr's opinion, or interpretation of Mueller's report, matters little. Just release the report; I don't care what it shows; I want the bipartisan truth and not a doctored summary by someone Trump appointed.
The only reason to not release it would be to hide a truth. Even if it's not collusion, even if it's not obstruction, even if it's not paying porn stars for silence, even if it's not laundering money...
...I just want to stop speculating
Hope the House subpoenas the sh*t out of everyone to get the full report. Or someone leaks it.

Yeah I will obsess about this. Unlike you, I actually give a shit about democratic norms. There are people who turn the other cheek and say, "meh," and allow good things to die. And there are others who give a damn.Ivytalk wrote:Obsess much? You’re turning into mini-JSO∞∞∞ wrote:Barr's opinion, or interpretation of Mueller's report, matters little.

Y'all have become so jaded and gas-lighted by the last two years that you think any of this is normal.

Re: Сделаем Америку снова великой! Trump - Russia megathread
Trump is an idiot and didn't have the brains or guts to collude with the Russians. He's not Richard Nixon, who was close to not getting caught. Dems have been so determined to sink Trump, they would spend the national treasury to get him out of office, no matter how much egg on the face they get. Been saying let it go and work on a solution or option since the whining began.∞∞∞ wrote:Yeah I will obsess about this. Unlike you, I actually give a **** about democratic norms.

You also wouldn’t be calling for 99% of the radical changes to the country that you do, but that’s another topic
When you parrot Dem party talking points you prove yourself to be the ignorant rabble they take you for
And you also look ignorant to people who know how this stuff works

Re: Сделаем Америку снова великой! Trump - Russia megathread
I think since they couldn't sit down with Trump and talk to him about his mindset and intent behind public comments, Mueller couldn't make a definitive conclusion on the obstruction.JohnStOnge wrote:Well, I think the way the Attorney general handled the collusion question was deft. I will say that there is a typical leap on the part of many people in that they say the investigation showed "no collusion." It did not. It did not find sufficient evidence to recommend criminal charges for collusion. Failing to find sufficient evidence to support criminal prosecution of guilt according to the "beyond reasonable doubt" standard is not affirmative evidence of innocence. That kind of misinterpretation is, however, common.
The bad thing is that, for whatever reason, Mueller decided not to reach a conclusion on obstruction of justice and instead just laid out the evidence he found pro and con. I don't know if he intended for the Attorney General to make a decision or not. But either way the Attorney General made the decision and then we had an Attorney General who had written an op ed saying the President can't commit obstruction of Justice making the call. So now we're going to have a big thing over that.
Not that we can get an unbiased assessment either way. Another approach would be to forward the evidence to the House and have the House make the decision. Same kind of problem.
I guess as we learn more I might change my mind but right now I think it would have been better if Mueller would've made a call on that one way or the other.
One thing is clear: There's going to be a lot of pressure to release the entire report at least to certain Congressional committees. And if the Republicans really think there is nothing to worry about they need to cooperate with that process. Then if the Democrats know what's good for them they need to be very careful about how they handle it and not over reach.

You really have no respect and/or understanding of how the DoJ operates. Trip, why would you compromise our abilities to just to read the report?

Do we really need to know all the methods and such? I don't think so we. We need to understand the outcome of those methods.
You're upset, I get it. You were hoping this would be the smoking gun.

Regarding obstruction of justice, whatever the hell this means is not a nothing burger:
"while this report concludes that the President did not commit a crime, it also does not exonerate him."
Mueller's investigation leading to other prosecuting offices opening their own investigations is not a nothing burger.
I'll accept that no one willingly colluded if that's the case, but this whole thing is not a nothing burger
You know what would help though, and instill public confidence in our institutions?
Releasing the full report.

So now that Trump has been found innocent, how much does this increase his chances of re-election? What will the Democrats focus on? Will they pivot toward an establishment candidate?

It’s just that you “progressives” want to head full-bore toward a full-blown majoritarian “democracy” that has no concern for any minorities except its own favorites du jour: the Muslims, the LGBTQs, the illegals, golf course owners, etc. No more Electoral College.
