Mueller Report Live Updates: No Trump-Russia Conspiracy

Right Now: Read the attorney general’s summary of the Mueller Report, which he delivered to Congress in a letter.

• The investigation found that neither President Trump nor any of his aides conspired with the Russian government.

• The report offered a mixed assessment on the question of obstruction of justice. “The Special Counsel states that ‘while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him,’” Attorney General William P. Barr wrote. Mr. Barr said that he had concluded after reviewing the report that there was not sufficient evidence to establish that the president committed obstruction of justice.

• On his way back to Washington from Florida, Mr. Trump said it was “a complete and total exoneration.”

No coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia, Mueller says.

Mr. Barr’s letter said that Mr. Mueller’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to manipulate the 2016 presidential election. He quoted the following takeaway line from the special counsel report: “[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”

Mr. Barr’s letter went on to note that “despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign,” the special counsel did not find evidence of “agreement — tacit or express — between the Trump campaign and the Russian government on election interference.” The letter did not use the word “collusion,” which has become the term of art for the question at the heart of the Russia investigation, though Republican lawmakers were quick to declare that there was “no collusion.”

No ruling on obstruction of justice.

For each of the relevant actions by Mr. Trump the special counsel examined, “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. The Special Counsel states that ‘while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.’”

While Robert S. Mueller III did not take a position on whether Mr. Trump committed obstruction and explicitly said his report did not exonerate the president, Attorney General William P. Barr said that he and Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who appointed Mr. Mueller, separately concluded that the evidence Mr. Mueller gathered “is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction-of-justice offense.”

Get ready for 4 more years of Trump. Even before this, I put his chance of winning 2020 at 50%, now it's even higher.

Wrong. Trump is right about one thing. CNN and MSNBC are indeed garbage fake news. William Barr very likely replaced Mueller's summary with his own. Let's wait until mueller is asked to come before Congress.

Mueller handed down many cases to the SDNY and others. He didn't simply sign up just to write a book report and go home. The fun is justt getting started. Trump and his kids are going to jail.

"What you hear and what you're seeing is not what is actually happening" - "President" Donald J Trump

Turn off the fake news liberal media.

Main stream media certainly has its problems, but I don't know what Trump is complaining about. Even when it's negative coverage, it never harms him the same way it would any other political figure.

Let's see what Pelosi and the Democrats can do it get the Mueller report released. Somehow I think many other people will have a different interpretation than Barr. Of course, some damage has been done already.
