Mueller testimony will correct misinformation - Jerry Nadler

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON - Former U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's public testimony in Congress next month will have a profound impact, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee chairman said on Wednesday, predicting it would correct what he called a campaign of misinformation led by President Donald Trump's attorney general.

Mueller's two-year investigation found that Russia meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and that the Trump campaign did not conspire with Russia, but the probe did not reach a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice.

U.S. House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler said the White House may try to block the planned July 17 hearings with Mueller in front of the House of Representatives' Judiciary and House Intelligence committees, but was unlikely to succeed.

"I think it will have a profound impact," Nadler told reporters a day after he and Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff announced Mueller's coming appearance.

1. "Did not conspire with Russia"?

I wasn't aware the report concluded that.

2. Mueller essentially said that he didn't find a conspiracy he could prove.

I think this is the relevant section:

vol. I, p. 180: "the Office's investigation uncovered evidence of numerous links (i.e., contacts) between Trump Campaign officials and individuals having or claiming to have ties to the Russian government. The Office evaluated the contacts under several sets of federal laws, including conspiracy laws and statutes governing foreign agents who operate in the United States. After considering the available evidence, the Office did not pursue charges under these statutes against any of the individuals discussed in Section IV above – with the exception of FARA charges against Paul Manafort and Richard Gates based on their activities on behalf of Ukraine.... several U.S. persons connected to the Campaign made false statements about those contacts and took other steps to obstruct the Office's investigation and those of Congress. This Office has therefore charged some of those individuals with making false statements and obstructing justice."

3. Right

Did not pursue charges is not the same as did not conspire. It's more like "we couldn't prove conspiracy." In other words, inconclusive.
