Mueller: No further indictments

Some of Robert S. Mueller III’s investigators have told associates that Attorney General William P. Barr failed to adequately portray the findings of their inquiry and that they were more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated, according to government officials and others familiar with their simmering frustrations.

At stake in the dispute — the first evidence of tension between Mr. Barr and the special counsel’s office — is who shapes the public’s initial understanding of one of the most consequential government investigations in American history. Some members of Mr. Mueller’s team are concerned that, because Mr. Barr created the first narrative of the special counsel’s findings, Americans’ views will have hardened before the investigation’s conclusions become public.

Mr. Barr has said he will move quickly to release the nearly 400-page report but needs time to scrub out confidential information. The special counsel’s investigators had already written multiple summaries of the report, and some team members believe that Mr. Barr should have included more of their material in the four-page letter he wrote on March 24 laying out their main conclusions, according to government officials familiar with the investigation. Mr. Barr only briefly cited the special counsel’s work in his letter.

However, the special counsel’s office never asked Mr. Barr to release the summaries soon after he received the report, a person familiar with the investigation said. And the Justice Department quickly determined that the summaries contain sensitive information, like classified material, secret grand-jury testimony and information related to current federal investigations that must remain confidential, according to two government officials.

Yes. The Post has a piece up on this as well. I am not at all surprised. The amount of TOTAL EXONERATION deceit coming out daily from Trump, Fox, etc along with Trump's reversal of his earlier "release it all" line is a pretty compelling argument for the proposition that Barr is doing PR, not law or transparency.

The purpose was never to bring charges, it was to inform.

Doesn't that very article answer your previous questions about Muellers team?

Screaming LIAR doesn't alleviate the fact that the DOJ isn't going to indict a sitting president.

And if people wouldn't lie about their criminal endeavors, then they wouldn't have been charged with...guess what....LYING.

See? My caps lock key works too.

People were charged with lying, but it had nothing to do with collusion and Russia, the entire point of the DNC backed investigation.

The Special Counsel investigation of 2017 to 2019 (also referred to as the Mueller probe, Mueller report, Mueller investigation, and Russia investigation) was a United States law enforcement and counterintelligence investigation of the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. According to its authorizing document which was signed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on May 17, 2017, the investigation's scope included the allegation that there were links or coordination between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the Russian government as well as "any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation". The scope of the investigation also included potential obstruction of justice by Trump and others. Conducted by the Department of Justice Special Counsel's Office headed by Robert Mueller, a Republican and former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Special Counsel investigation began eight days after President Trump dismissed FBI director James Comey, who had been leading existing FBI investigations since July 2016 into links between Trump associates and Russian officials. Following Comey's firing, over 130 Democratic Party lawmakers in Congress called for the appointment of a special counsel, while the FBI began investigating Trump for obstruction of justice. The special counsel's office took over both these investigations from the FBI.

...and no American was found to have worked with any Russian.

You're mistaken.

No mention of the DNC. No stated intent to charge Trump with collusion.

But there was obviously contact between the campaign and Russian representatives at the Trump Tower meeting. The amount of lying by Trump's team concerning anything to do with Russia is what suggested that there might have been something more than simple collusion.

As usual, it would make more sense to wait until more of the report is released

“There are a lot of killers,” Trump responded. “We have a lot of killers. Well, you think our country is so innocent?”

Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky offered a rather blunt rebuttal.

“Putin’s a former KGB agent,” McConnell said during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union. “He's a thug. He was not elected in a way that most people would consider a credible election. The Russians annexed Crimea, invaded Ukraine and messed around in our elections. And no, I don't think there's any equivalency between the way the Russians conduct themselves and the way the United States does.”

The lie keeps going doesn't it, no collusion and no indictments against any American for working with Russia.

According to Rosenstein, the Russians “recruited and paid real Americans to engage in political activities, promote political campaigns and stage political rallies. The defendants and their co-conspirators pretended to be grassroots activists. According to the indictment, the Americans did not know that they were communicating with Russians.”

Later, Rosenstein noted that, “the nature of the scheme was the defendants took extraordinary steps to make it appear that they were ordinary American political activists, even going so far as to base their activities on a virtual private network here in the United States so, if anybody traced it back to that first jump, they appeared to be Americans.”

In other words, those who may have been paid by the Russians for social media ads, or to stage rallies, did not knowingly collude with the Russians.

No one knows because the government won't release an unredacted copy of the report.

Obama or Clinton did this or that?

Tu quoque (/tjuːˈkwoʊkwi, tuːˈkwoʊkweɪ/;[1] Latin for "you also"), or the appeal to hypocrisy, is a fallacy that intends to discredit the opponent's argument by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with its conclusion(s).

...It is a fallacy because the moral character or actions of the opponent are generally irrelevant to the logic of the argument.[3] It is often used as a red herring tactic and is a special case of the ad hominem fallacy, which is a category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of facts about the person presenting or supporting the claim or argument.[4]

Republicans have a horror of facts. One would think they are allergic to truthful facts.
