Robert Mueller did not find evidence the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia, according to a letter Attorney General William Barr delivered to Congress on Sunday. Post reporter, who covers the Justice Department, joined Martine Powers on Sunday evening for an extra episode of Post Reports.
Barr’s letter notes that Mueller’s probe said no such conspiracy was found “despite multiple offers from Russia-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign.” On the question of whether the president might have sought to obstruct the high-profile investigation, Mueller’s team did not offer a definitive answer. “The Special Counsel . . . did not draw a conclusion — one way or the other — as to whether the examined conduct constituted obstruction,” Barr’s letter to lawmakers states.
Speaking from a Florida airport before returning to Washington, President Trump called the report “a complete and total exoneration.” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler said he would call on Barr to testify before Congress “in the near future.”
Can you do something, Washington Post? Recall how you became one of the major newspaper. This must be bigger than Watergate Scandals.
If there was no collusion what was being obstructed?
I wonder if it has hit anyone that they are going to have to cover....PRESIDENT TRUMP for 6 more years?
IF NO COLLUSION EXISTED MUELLER MADE IT PRETTY CLEAR IT WOULD BE PRETTY HARD TO OBSTRUCT AN INVESTIGATION TO PROTECT ONESELF FROM LEGAL REPERCUSSIONS OF ACTIONS WHICH “”NEVER”” OCCURRED - YOUR HEADER IS YOUR NORMAL MISLEADING STANDARD BULLSHIT. YOUR PAPER IS AN EMBARRASSMENT.
Interesting how nobody is talking about the fact the letter does talk about Russia interfering in an election. Of course republicans got the White House so they do not care. Follow the NRA Russian money
Spoke like one of the best Federal Investigators who put on the badge. Right on Harry. Time to go after the real guilty parties.
Mueller hasn't said shit. You journalists should be ashamed.
Think about this: a number of people went to jail before the report was even finished. Unless the report is made public, both sides get to write their own story. We need the full report, not fan fiction versions of it by either side.
If there was no collusion, why did they need to obstruct justice? ReleaseTheFullReport MuellerReport Mueller Maddow MondayMorning redbubble
Yes it does!!! But I get it! This newspaper and all other Trump/Russia lovers need to cling in to something to keep the hopes up. So pathetic!!
bottomline is... Special Counsel Bob You did a lousy job... 😀
now we put the hoax to rest...
Even if there was no collusion, there is the fact that a foreign adversary launched a campaign to sow discord and sway our election, and Trump, as well as the rest of the GOP, don't seem to care. Instead, Trump seems to admire Putin. You can't tell me he didn't know about it.
How do we know this when we haven't seen the report. We have only seen AG summary aka spin of report. ReleaseTheMuellerReport
His conclusion was he didnt find fact witnesses or something called evidence to bring forth an indictment Not even a statement in the report implicating the President- The lack of evidence / negative statement by mueller regarding obstruction is telling NO COLLUSION PERIOD
Poor democrats
Poor democrats lmao
Barr finds peaches and cream. We don't know what Mueller found
If there was no collusion that means there was no obstruction. How stupid do you think the American people are?
Report the whole damn thing. I have been watching what he has done and there have been people indicted and sent to jail. If it wasn't true, why did they come to this conclusion? Protecting the Trump adminstration.
So you're saying he obstructed justice on a crime.he didn't commit? We call that left wing logic.
Muller why?
If there was no collision what was being obstructed?
If mueller thinks Barr isn’t being upfront then he should say.
Since we have not seen the report, why are so many news outlets reporting on what it entailed. You have only a trump appointed cohort summarizing it. It seems irresponsible.
day 1 of an official cover up.......Mueller / Comey should get over there fear of trump's base......the rest of you all should also
That’s what Barr said, not Mueller. Do better
RUSSIA INTEREFERED IN OUR ELECTIONS. THEY WANTED realDonaldTrump TO WIN. RUSSIA HACKED DNC. KEPT DRIPPING INFORMATION THROUGHOUT CAMPAIGN. HillaryClinton WAS CHEATED. WHAT IS NOT TO GET
Special Counsel specifically left that determination up to the Attorney General. Barr and Rosenstein came to the conclusion that, as far as could be determined [by anyone], that there was no obstruction of justice. They used specific guidelines to decide this. Read the letter
How can you obstruct justice on a crime that never happened?
Mueller didn't think he had enough evidence to bring charges on conspiracy is probably more accurate. When he did bring charges the evidence was overwhelming. He basically batted 1000 in front of judges and juries. We need to see the report and the evidence.
Enough already we are sick and tired of this unending story. Be civil and move on
There isn’t even complete sentences released of the Mueller report yet, so how do you know what Mueller concluded?
The special counsel's office deliberated at length with 'Justice Department officials' about issuing a subpoena for President Donald Trump to be interviewed, but ultimately the decision was made not to move forward with such a significant investigative step
Good God. You people are absurd! No one is buying your collusion sh&t!
Barr was appointed by Trump for this very moment.
Barr found no obstruction. Barr who was put in this position to find no obstruction. Barr who’s son in law go a cushy job. releasethereport
All that information collect needs to go to the Congress. Just like in the past. No holding back. Just like Nixon and Clinton. No special consideration that Trump always seems to get.
He did his job. Congress will do the rest.
You haven't seen the report. Only Barr's letter. Did Mueller not find evidence, or sufficient evidence legally? There's a difference, and there's a lot in public record already.
Because Mueller would not do that. He turns it over to the attorney general.
Yea right,,,, every Trumpster has a Russian buttholebuddy,,,, and They have just been swapping Russian Salad Dressing Recipes for the last 4 years...... What the hell did they threaten you with Robert?
I cant believe Obama spied on a rival campaign. We are sooo disappointed!!! WHAT now?
The greatest cover up in American history...
People are so gullible... they cannot exonerate him ... it’s not their job to 🙄
That’s because that is not his job, your misleading articles are the reason America does not trust you
Mueller is handing it off to NY and Congress. Doesn’t want to risk double jeopardy
I know, Rosenstein and Barr looked at the evidence Mueller presented and exonerated him!
Obstruction of justice Democrats were crying collusion since the Primaries. When nad how did Trump have time to 'obstruct'. If he did he is one talented multitasking superbrain, able to fool the FBI, President.
I have a feeling Democrats and the mainstream media will not be that responsible and cautious
That is means Washington Post lied Americans in last years about collusion in the United States presidential election.
34 people have been indicted, 6 close associates of Trump with 5 guilty pleas. If Trump and Republicans have nothing to hide ... then RELEASE THE FULL REPORT.
Firing Comey didn’t interfere with any investigations, just like firing the manager of an IHOP wouldn’t interfere with breakfast, because management doesn’t do any actual work
Or any insight into Trump corrupt financial relationships with Ru Mobsters. Yet.
He left that to the DOJ. And based on Mueller's report they concluded there is also no obstruction. It isn't hard Post.
Only according 2 Barr/Rosenstein.America hasn't seen Mueller Report
Apologize to Trump.
He left it to Rosenstein and Barr to decide if there was obstruction. You are reading too much into this.
That’s just Barrs opinion
Um no, Barr found that. We have yet to hear what Mueller found.
That headline is false. We don’t know what Mueller found.
I had a feeling this was going to be the 'wrong' one.
