The American people can handle the truth, whatever it is. Its time to release Special Counsel Robert Muellers final report in full.
For the sake of American democracy, and the publics faith in our justice system, the full, final report produced by Special Counsel Robert Mueller must be made public. Immediately.
Sundays slender, four-page memo to Congress by Attorney General William Barr was wildly inadequate. Claiming that the special counsel had not found an illegal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, Barr provided a cursory summary of Muellers findings managing to not even quote a complete sentence of the actual report.
More egregious: Barr used the same letter to slam shut a heavy door that Mueller appeared to intentionally leave open. The special counsel presented evidence for a possible charge of obstruction of justice by President Trump, writing: While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.
Mueller described difficult issues of fact and law that needed to be weighed, based on 22 months of investigation. Barr made his assessment in less than 48 hours, concluding that no such crime had been committed, because the presidents (all too public) attempts at a cover-up did not, in the end, conceal an underlying crime.
