Bob Mueller could not find evidence of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, but according to people who worked for him, his findings do paint a pictures of Russian manipulation."I mean, there's evidence that's going to be coming out from this Mueller report that, again, shows what we all know: that the Trump campaign, the Trump team, the Trump family, they were manipulated by members of either members of the Russian government or Russian intelligence. And Barr's sanitized version of that in the long run does Trump no good. It sets expectations too high, and we can expect those Trump poll numbers to go down once they release the report," Joe Scarborough said.
"It's what we've been saying all along, release the report, and the attorney general has agreed to do that. Make the redactions, but release the report, and the attorney general has agreed to do that," Willie Geist said.

+1, sounds like there was some willingness there. Especially when it comes to what's publicly known

Fake news from Russia manipulated the electorate.
That *is* what "fake news", whether intended to reduce HRC's support or increase Trump's support winds up meaning in the context of "interfered with the US elections," isn't it?

Because it certainly resembles a banana republic to me.

Sure, they were manipulated by Russia, just like a group of drunken sailors on shore leave are manipulated into spending their money at the local brothel...
