(1,376 posts)Good question... we probably need a Congressional investigation to get to the bottom of it.
One should wonder about those who see this as a great win for the Trump Administration... this is about as bad as it gets when it comes to "exoneration" ...
Mueller punted to Barr, and Barr punted to Congress. Neither one was a profile in courage, obviously.
The only patriots in all this are the Democrats in Congress, and given the insight into how Trump does business, they have plenty to go after.
Bottom line, Trump hired a national security advisor, campaign chair, deputy campaign chair, personal attorney/national party finance co-chair, and a dozen other losers who have consistently proven themselves untrustworthy for the positions they were given - and the GOP as an institution and organization have accepted that bottom line, which indicts them as just as much as it has Trump, Pence, McConnell, etc.
Comes down to the reality that Trump is surrounded by crooks that he hired... "I'm not a crook" didn't work for Nixon; I don't see that as really a winning slogan for Trump.
Using Nixon as the template, it's worth remembering Nixon won re-election in '72, despite multiple scandals and the debacle in SE Asia; and yet he didn't finish a second term.
Keep the faith, and keep up the fire

(5,812 posts)Our firm did a ton of criminal defense work. Trump acted guilty. I should know. Thirty-five years of legal work, the kind of bullshit trust was spewing -- smelled totally like guilt.

(5,812 posts)Barr did not quote in full any part of the Mueller report. It's like the cherry picked the least awful stuff about Trump.
Paraphrase.
