Huh? Does this mean he thinks #45 is innocent of obstruction or guilty? Because anyone who can read the Mueller report – even the redacted portions – can see that he is CLEARLY guilty of obstruction. He tried multiple times to stop the Mueller investigation, demanded inappropriate actions from the Attorney General (who is NOT the President’s defense attorney, whatever Bill Barr thinks), and the only reason some of his obstructions didn’t happen is because more sensible people refused to do them!
Even the Barr “summary” said that Trump was NOT exonerated. The Mueller Report listed several instances of attempts to obstruct justice; Trump continually tried to fire Mueller but his aides didn’t follow through, hoping he would forget about it. There are several examples included where the “fake news” was coming from Trump and his minions lying and the media was shown to be correct. Just looking at Trump kowtowing to Putin and alienating the U.S. long-term allies should concern everyone, it amazes me how so many continue to support Trump.
The President of the United States is a crook. That’s clear. The only question is what to do about it. In normal times, impeachment would be the obvious action. But we don’t live in normal times. The majority party in the Senate has sold out to this criminal president. They are accessories after the fact. So I would say, don’t rush to impeachment hearings, but do quickly set up investigative hearings, bring in the most important witnesses, and make sure there is a strong public record before the 2020 election.
I think.. (not that it matters) Mueller needs to be brought up to explain himself, his work and intent to the public. Given Barr’s obvious bias.. the question now is.. Was there collusion between Barr and Mueller?
Trump ordered Don McGahn to have Mueller fired, AND ordered him to lie about being told to do that. That’s very CLEARLY Obstruction of Justice. The fact the McGahn refused to do that doesn’t mean the order itself wasn’t a crime.
To the Trumps of the world, planning to rob a bank is not a crime. Nor is it a crime to tunnel your way under a bank, only to have your break-in interrupted. Gosh, why didn’t that last part work for Nixon?

Gorrell lies again. Of course.
The Report does NOT say not guilty of collusion.
Someone like Gorrell, with Trump Disciple analysis skills, is incapable of discerning the difference.

Uh, the report said neither. How does this (insert impolite adjective) stuff get into a functioning human brain?
