Just yesterday, I read a story about they're selling shitty merchandise with the White House on it at his hotels. They're profiting off him being president which is, of course, illegal.

Trump's appointed hatchet man makes a pronouncement and you lap it up like it's gold. writes3000 Mar 2019 #2

No. That is what Barr decided. Mueller turned over the evidence blm Mar 2019 #3

Barr only decided he didn't believe there was evidence Trump obstructed... Drunken Irishman Mar 2019 #7

Nope, you're reading it the way Barr expected when he used weasel words. blm Mar 2019 #9

TRUMP'S "LOVER" .... Barr is a liar trueblue2007 Mar 2019 #52

Barr didn't say there was no evidence Trump obstructed: k8conant Mar 2019 #55

Not sufficient... Drunken Irishman Mar 2019 #59

Wow. You're really working hard to advocate for Barr's veracity here. blm Mar 2019 #70

Except that "I'm not a crook" didn't work for Nixon, did it? RHMerriman Mar 2019 #6

The big issue here is the collusion part. Drunken Irishman Mar 2019 #10

"collusion" is not a crime listed in any applicable criminal code in the US; if you're going to RHMerriman Mar 2019 #19

I fear that you are correct. Anymore pressing on this issue is going to only look bad for us ForgedCrank Mar 2019 #34

Democrats have spent two years singing Mueller's praise. Drunken Irishman Mar 2019 #13

You haven't read Mueller's words. You only swallowed Barr's spin. blm Mar 2019 #15

I'm skeptical there's that level of contradiction in Mueller's report. Drunken Irishman Mar 2019 #17

Of course you are. Because swallowing Barr's spin showed your level of doubt blm Mar 2019 #24

No because Barr flat-out said there wasn't evidence of collusion. Drunken Irishman Mar 2019 #26

I think it should be released. I don't believe it'll change the narrative. Drunken Irishman Mar 2019 #44

You trust Barr's words and not Mueller's that you haven't read. blm Mar 2019 #64
