AG Barr: Mueller declined 'to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment' on obstruction of justice, leaving it up to AG to choose. Barr declined to do so based on evidence presented and not because of DOJ guidelines on prosecuting a sitting president.

"As the report states: '[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities,'" Barr wrote.

"Instead, for each of the relevant actions investigated, the report sets out evidence on both sides of the question and leaves unresolved what the Special Counsel views as 'difficult issues' of law and fact concerning whether the President’s actions and intent could be viewed as obstruction," Barr wrote."The Special Counsel states that 'while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.

Trump's outside counsel, Rudy Giuliani, told NBC News that the report was"better than expected." He added in comments to CNN,"the president did not do anything wrong."

Hahahaha hey what happened to Mueller time 😂😂😂😂😂😂

GOOD DAY FOR AMERICA! Enjoyed watching Chuck Todd choked up and Katy wiping away tears!

So, I want to hear YOUR apology for spreading FakeNews for 24 months that had been extremely detrimental to the well being of America and her People.

If you believed Trump was a Russian agent for Putin, he is now an agent for the Martians as he is talking Space Force.

realDonaldTrump and SenateGOP picked NotBillBarr not the people of the United States! HouseDemocrats, oversightcommittee

Can’t believe that cause it just jumped to conclusions without evidence, since it was obvious of what collusion and obstruction of justice was, weather in fact did not reached the standards of criminality is one thing weather or not it happened to a level another.

They only declined to prosecute because they felt evidence was insufficient. That does not mean he, realDonaldTrump, and his sycophants didn’t do it. He has proven untrustworthy and significantly thuggish for many years in many venues.

fakenews already working overtime trying to spin the Mueller report.....

RELEASE THE REPORT. BARR WILL THE ISSUE.

FatBaby LittleDonny Unqualified

Barr and rosenstein not just barr KEEP UP NBC

Complete exoneration. This is historic. Now let's see if there will be a special counsel to investigate why Obama was spying on candidate Trump.

Bullshit. Barr decided before he wrote the 12 page memo.

So Mueller did not vindicate Trump it was the Attorney General appointed by Trump who vindicated him

Very sad that Democrats spent millions and time on something so stupid! No one wanted Hillary as our president.

NO COLLUSION?POPPYCOCK!NO MATTER WHAT YOU CALL IT THIS TRUMP/PUTIN BS HAS BEEN IN AMERICA'S FACE FROM THE BEGINNING-SOMETHING SERIOUS HAS BEEN GOING ON & STILL IS-IF NOT COLLUSION WTH IS IT?

He has been appointed by the House to probe the President’s alleged Russia collusion and financial irregularities. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but why did t-Rump do an abrupt about face after meeting with AG Barr and DAG Rosenstein at the White House? They said the meeting had nothing to do with Mueller... hmmm! t-Rump has a history of shooting off his mouth after getting inside info. Where is the APOLOGY from FakeNewCNN to realDonaldTrump and the American people for lying about Russia collusion? CNN you got it so WRONG!
