Pretty sure there won't be any collision but it'll be interesting to see the extent to which Russia got involved.

There will be no more indictments.

$35 Million Dollars wasted then.

Let's hope those who funded the report - the US taxpayers - actually get to read it.

Here’s Barr’s letter

Other point: Russia did interfere with two different ways in the 2016 Election

Re: Russia-Trump inquiry: Special Counsel Robert Mueller ends Russia investigation
 

Not really - the investigation clawed back $42 million dollars back from Manafort...

(in comparison, the (Bill) Clinton investigation cost $69 million dollars)

I’m sure no one is worried that AG Barr’s son-in-law-law joined Trump’s 2020 Campaign team last month - no conflict of interest there at all..

btw, the AG’s summary letter also said

Which is a strange thing for a lawyer to say...

Re: Russia-Trump inquiry: Special Counsel Robert Mueller ends Russia investigation
 

Unless there is something big the AG is keeping from the letter it's likely this is over. There is nothing here the Democrats can use a basis for going after Trump and certainly not impeachment.

Re: Russia-Trump inquiry: Special Counsel Robert Mueller ends Russia investigation
 

Remember, this is Barr’s view of the report, not what the report says - this is his interpretation/summary.

The Special Counsel declined to reach a conclusion.

Congress makes the decision about whether the president committed impeachable crimes. I would expect that the House will now demand the full report & evidence, conduct its own investigation, and reach its own conclusion.

(You know, like they did with the Hillary Clinton investigations)

Re: Russia-Trump inquiry: Special Counsel Robert Mueller ends Russia investigation
 

Yes really, was a political hit job from the real collusion folk in the DNC. Who paid for the fake Russian Dossier again?

Answer: Crooked Hillary and the DNC!!!

Re: Russia-Trump inquiry: Special Counsel Robert Mueller ends Russia investigation
 

And who started it off - the conservative political website The Washington Free Beacon, to provide general opposition research on Trump and other Republican presidential candidates.

Re: Russia-Trump inquiry: Special Counsel Robert Mueller ends Russia investigation
 

Hugh, I’m going to make this very clear I’m not having a re-run of the same petty arguments from prior Trump threads.

Re: Russia-Trump inquiry: Special Counsel Robert Mueller ends Russia investigation
 

Never seen what this alleged collusion was ever had amounted to. Attempts were made to hack the Republican campaigns, but none succeeded. Hacking attempts are made on people and organisations all around the world and have been for decades. Nothing special about it.

The other supposed aspect amounts to just ads or giving opinions. Again nothing special about that. There will have been anti-Trump ads and opinions from accounts where the preferred language wasn't English, eg Spanish.

If I was going to collude with somebody on something this big, I would expect to see a lot more results than just those things.

Re: Russia-Trump inquiry: Special Counsel Robert Mueller ends Russia investigation
 

If the Mueller Report actually did totally exonerate this administration, then it would already be public. Trump himself would have released it from Mar A Lago, instead of tweeting...

Wait for the full, unedited release of the report, not the Trump appointee report from the man who wrote an Op-Ed before he was appointed stating that there was no way Trump could be found guilty.

So I can’t reply to points you raise, that you’ve raised previously?
