Mueller Report in less than 280 characters

Mueller Report: 1) A hostile foreign power intervened aggressively to rig our 2016 elections to help Trump. 2) During the campaign, Trump welcomed & encouraged it. 3) As president, Trump obstructed justice, abused his power, slandered, fired & lied to block the investigations.

[RKP5637]

1. That sure sums it up for me! It should be a headliner across the country ... but some of MSM won't

bother.

[Botany]

2. If the Trump campaign hadn't know about and worked with Russia then they wouldn't have had ...

... to obstruct.

TRUMP’S RUSSIA COVER-UP BY THE NUMBERS – 272 CONTACTS WITH RUSSIA-LINKED OPERATIVES

On April 18, 2019, a redacted copy of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s “Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election” (Mueller Report) was released to the public. The Mueller report builds on the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that there were two campaigns to elect Donald Trump— one run by Trump and one run by the Russian government. The Mueller report clearly identified collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, despite repeated denials from Trump and many of his senior advisers and close associates that there were any connections between the two campaigns.

A total of 272 contacts between Trump’s team and Russia-linked operatives have been identified, including at least 38 meetings. And we know that at least 33 high-ranking campaign officials and Trump advisers were aware of contacts with Russia-linked operatives during the campaign and transition, including Trump himself. None of these contacts were ever reported to the proper authorities. Instead, the Trump team tried to cover up every single one of them.

Beyond the many lies the Trump team told to the American people, Mueller himself repeatedly remarked on how far the Trump team was willing to go to hide their Russian contacts, stating, “the investigation established that several individuals affiliated with the Trump Campaign lied to the Office, and to Congress, about their interactions with Russian-affiliated individuals and related matters. Those lies materially impaired the investigation of Russian election interference.”

4. I watched the MSNBC report last night on the Mueller report. I just don't see how anyone could

watch that and walk away feeling there was nothing to it and the fool had been exonerated.

[Botany]

5. Russia was into Wisconsin @ the county level

https://www.wausaudailyherald.com/story/news/2019/03/25/russian-hackers-attacked-wisconsin-elections-before-during-mueller-probe/3266933002/

Trump didn't "win" Wisconsin because of his great campaign skills but because of Russian actions and
some Americans who helped them target their actions. Russ Feingold was @ >90% of winning too.

McConnell is well aware of all of this and he doesn't care.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. McConnell is aware and cares very much

Mitch cares about anything that helps him stay in power. That is why he does everything he can to make sure Putin can continue interfering in elections.

[pangaia]

14. reading most of that article it looks to me like russians were unsuccessful

in actually hacking into WI elections...

Did I miss something?

[True Blue American]

6. I put it on DVR

So I can watch, maybe more than once.

[RKP5637]

7. Smart thing to do! I thought it was just extremely well done. I wish NBC would run it during prime

time on one of the major network channels. ... but that will never happen ... I don't think. Maybe if the House moves into the investigatory stage ... maybe then it might happen.

[True Blue American]

10. Yes, they should show it

Again and again.

The DVR shows 2 programs. Was it 2 hours?

[RKP5637]

11. No, it was just one hour. Following it was another report on the rise of

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It was interesting, but I did not watch that part, I was getting really tired. I wonder ... maybe the report on Mueller is now on youtube.

[True Blue American]

30. Thanks. Be sure and

Record Mueller!

[EveHammond13]

27. +1

[dem4decades]

3. What are the chances Mueller will say that so succinctly?

Or even not so succinctly in his hours of testimony?

Nil?

He's such a homer, sticking to good own rules as the President has no rules. Thanks for nothing.

[RKP5637]

8. I wish he would just blast it out. He knows he can save the country and end this charade in the

White House. It could be a very major turning point in American history if he so choose to do what I think he should do ... just finish where the report left off.

[dem4decades]

16. He could have saved the country but he chooses not to..

Some patriot, i'm sick of hearing how crazy he is, he's not.

[RKP5637]

18. It's all part of the cult plan, I'm afraid. n/t

[True Blue American]

29. Yes, because I think

Barr cut the investigation short!

I also think Congress should make the Justice Department get rid of that stupid rule about not indicting,or pass a law prohibiting it.

[Lonestarblue]

17. Mueller knows that Trump is a criminal.

And he has to know that Trump stands a good chance of being re-elected if the economy stays strong. He also has to know that Trump is destroying the rule of law and order that he supposedly values. So, will he do the right thing and testify that Trump committed crimes and should be indicted, or will he go down in history as the person who could have saved democracy but chose not to?

[RKP5637]

19. I'm thinking the pedestal he's been placed on by so many is rusty! Depending on what he does, he

could relegate this country to a terrible future. Some patriot.

[spanone]

9. K&R...

[Pepsidog]

12. That about sums it up. But 2020 must be about the soul of America, and who we want to be.

[DesertRat]

15. k&r

[mackdaddy]

20. I think the first question to Mueller should be to read this and ask if he agrees!

Maybe put this up on one of those pasteboards behind the Congressmen asking the question.

[Jakes Progress]

21. Deep Mueller report:

The President and his family lied, broke laws, worked with foreign governments to debase elections, and is probably being blackmailed by putin.

But I've got country club memberships and poker nights with a bunch of people that don't want me to say that.

So I won't.

(Of course, I'm just paraphrasing, but you get the idea.)

[Botany]

22. In 2016 the FBI went to Trump and his campaign and said the following:

Russia wants to hack our elections and if they reach out to you or you find out about Russia
working to effect the elections contact us @ once. Trump and or his campaign NEVER
contacted the FBI but instead welcomed the Russian's work and help.

[dem4decades]

25. His wife Muffy probably still wants to play bridge with Barr's wife Midge.

[sandensea]

23. And that's WITHOUT the redacted sections

I certainly hope Mueller - or anybody - have find a way to release those.

[Kid Berwyn]

24. Plus Trump helped said foreign power.

Both before and after assuming office.

[Botany]

26. Trump is a Russian agent

[Kid Berwyn]

31. Agree, totally.

Second banana:



And he says “It’s none of your business,” when asked what he and Putin talk about.

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/trump-putin-talks-its-none-your-business

Guy likely owes the Mafiya billions.

Lucky he hasn’t been impeached.

[Botany]

32. Funny how there was Russian money behind the Apprentice

Because Trump was a big time failure as a businessman and so for Russia to have him
be their boy in the White House they had to sell the lie that Trump was some kind of
billionaire business genius. And how many Americans watched that crap and didn't
know that it was all pretend.

[EveHammond13]

28. This is pretty good too:

"It was a coup, we had treason, and Russia needed inside help to pull it off."

[Botany]

33. Brilliant Writing

I betya the author is smart, good looking, and modest.

[EveHammond13]

34. .

[stuffmatters]

36. Absolutely, Would make a perfect pt 4) Ties it all up.

[rockfordfile]

35. Yes Russia and the Saudi helped. Trump and the gop was big time involved with them.

But the reality is the FBI and CIA got their butts kick by Russia. Of course with the extra help of un-American Republicans in our country. I bet you republicans flipped votes on the ground. Just like in NC. You really think that was the first and only time and place.

[Botany]

37. Ever since "they" passed HAVA help America vote act ....

.... which had us all vote on electronic voting machines the exit polls stopped matching the vote and we have seen a "red state shift" in the vote despite demographic and social trends that favored dems.


Putin did not spend all that time, money, and effort looking @ the hardware and software of the voting machines and the central regulators just to have a "look around." I might be wrong but I think HRC had an even bigger margin of votes over Trump.

[LiberalLovinLug]

38. You forgot one more

4) But I am a good Republican following Saint Ronnie's 11th commandment, and won't bring any indictments down. And instead punt it to my cohort Barr. I'm not going to set any precedent on indicting a sitting President, even as the country's legal institutions are abused. Maybe he'll do more with it....I don't really care. In fact I'll sit on my hands and not say a word while he goes on for a full month misrepresenting my conclusions. And then after a mildly rebuke in a letter on the point of not technically finding Trump innocent, I'll say I have no plans to say any more on the matter.

39. Had to bookmark this one.

Thanks!
