When Hillary was cleared for Benghazi & emails, I don't remember R's saying it was a disaster for

the GOP. Trump hasn't been totally cleared yet either in this report. So for the love of God, enough with the sky is falling, death spiral posts. Also, as Jonathan Turley said, there are I believe 12 investigations into Trump right now and any one of them could be a torpedo that could do major damage to the Trump ship. This isn't a total loss, there IS dirt in the Mueller report and plenty of stuff Dems can use in political attack ads against Trump. Also, Mueller didn't look at things like Trump's finances in Russia which is most certainly where the fire is.

And just remember, even if ALL the scandals fall flat Trump is a fucking scumbag who has separated kids from their parents, left millions to die in PR, thinks Nazi's are good people etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc X 1 billion! There is never time to mope around and feel sorry for ourselves no matter how much the power brokers win the small battles. 2020 is what we need to be focused on like a laser even if everything seems to be crashing down around us. Keep marching into hell to remove him from office in two years.

So did Mueller look into Trump's finances with Russia? If not them WHY??????

His financial ties are likely by far the most important component to see if there was collusion or still is collusion because Trump is compromised? Why hand that part off when it is directly related to the matter of collusion? Or did he do this so NY could take Trump out instead of the Feds to prevent a pardons?

David Corn, spot on

Mueller: Trump cannot be exonerated of obstruction of justice.
Barr: I exonerate him.

So Trump may have shot himself in the foot by suggesting he was going to pardon everyone?


This had to be on Mueller's mind. They didn't want to do all this work for nothing and so ultimately they decided letting NY finish was the only way to insure Trump didn't have any other chess moves.

Certainly the part about Trump being an un-indicted co-conspirator in the Michael Cohen case

is in the final report. Can anyone shed light on what to expect with that? I don't hear anyone talking about it and it seems it is the one very clear cut damaging thing we know about.
