You apparently don't know a damned thing about our "governing system" or our system of justice. You are a hard left ideologue. President Trump is not a threat to our Constitution and rule of law, he is a threat to your progressive ideology, an uncompromising and dogmatic ideology that you also seem to know nothing about. Either that, or you are unwilling to be t***hful about it.

Have you ever heard about The Progressive-C*******t Alliance?

I think the lie was forced over their interpretation of a "sexual relationship". With that said I do believe what Trump has done, which has been to completely undermine, sabotage and corrupt our governing process is just a wee bit more egregious then lying about a BJ. Sad you don't see it that way, and that you will continue to attempt to defend Trump by bringing up Hillary or Bill, as if that nullifies all of what Trump has done. We are at the tip of the iceberg, though it may not be revealed until he is out of the White House. The thought of anyone v****g for such a shady liar once again is truly mind staggering.

Morgan

He is a conspiracy against the United States of America, the most corrupt president in the history of our country and it will be all be taught in your grand children's history class and you helped put him there, that's what really bothers you, isn't it? You're better off admitting you've been duped by the King con man and let it all go.
The fact that the white house and his lawyers have analyzed this entire report before the Congress is completely outrageous, and I hope all this will come crashing down on them, Barr is completely dishonorable in allowing this. You people talk about our founders, well they're turning in their graves.

It is you who is completely unknowledgeable or lack the moral compass of a "Just" government. This whole Report was handled inappropriately since it was handed in to Barr, Trump's new right hand and lacky.

C*******m, jees give me a break, right and Dems want a dictator too, Oh wait, that would be the radical right.

It is patently obvious that you don't have one damned clue what our governing system really is, what it stands for, and how it is meant to function. You are letting h**e filled rage control your emotions, or vice versa. Such an affliction is pathological.

Liberal progressivism is diametrically opposed to our American system of government, to our Constitution. Liberal progressivism was first introduced into American politics by the r****t democrat Woodrow Wilson, whose political philosophies were decidedly alien to our system of government. His assaults on individual liberties were both unconstitutional and unprecedented in American history. From crackdowns on freedom of speech to the seizures of vast swaths of land, racial segregation, prohibition, military expansionism, and vilification of wealth. He even studied the science of Eugenics in an effort to find ways to eliminate "undesirable species" of human or to alter their genetic codes so they wouldn't be so "deplorable". His targets were African Americans. He was adamantly opposed to interracial marriages, and he used his political power to enact laws that turned his beliefs about race and eugenics into legislation. In 1907, Woodrow Wilson campaigned in Indiana for the compulsory sterilization of criminals and the mentally r****ded; and in 1911, as New Jersey governor, he signed into law a similar bill.

The moment Wilson took office, he pushed for policies that expanded segregation, and new Civil Service applicants needed to apply with photographs. African Americans were out of luck, they could not apply, and those already serving were fired. But compared to the efforts of today's progressives to destroy our constitution and undermine our American way of life, Wilson was a pussy cat.

Tell you what, if you have honesty and the gonads to do so, in however many words you need, please outline for us your interpretation of the progressive ideology you so feverishly believe is the proper system to govern America.

FYI: The entire political assault on Trump originated within the Executive Branch, specifically WH and the DOJ, and within the Hillary campaign and the DNC. This of course includes Mueller's special counsel. In an extraordinarily sensitive and volatile legal situation of this magnitude, the uniquely American concept of separation of powers applies in full measure. Even Mueller himself understood this. He knew it would be an unprecedented breach of Executive Branch constitutional authority to give his report to anyone other than the Attorney General. Congressional committees are not authorized to receive a special counsel report before it has been thoroughly analyzed by the AG and his legal experts. Moreover, congress critters are not authorized under any circumstances to lift the redactions of grand jury testimony and classified or sensitive materials then give it all up for public consumption.

I'm sorry to say your perceptions of how the American system of government works is seriously warped.

Try this on for size:

Proceedings:
2.5 years of investigation spending over $25 million of taxpayers' money.
In the report, the Special Counsel noted that, in completing his investigation, he employed 19 lawyers who were assisted by a team of approximately 40 FBI agents, intelligence analysts, forensic accountants, and other professional staff. The Special Counsel issued more than 2,800 subpoenas, executed nearly 500 search warrants, obtained more than 230 orders for communication records, issued almost 50 orders authorizing use of pen registers, made 13 requests to foreign governments for evidence, and interviewed approximately 500 witnesses.

Findings of the Mueller Team:

No Russian Collusion.
The Special Counsel’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. p**********l e******n. As the report states: “The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its e******n i**********e activities.”

As noted above, the Special Counsel did not find that any U.S. person or Trump campaign official or associate conspired or knowingly coordinated with the IRA in its efforts, although the Special Counsel brought criminal charges against a number of Russian nationals and entities in connection with these activities.

But as noted above, the Special Counsel did not find that the Trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in these efforts, despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign.

Obstruction of justice:

Could not be proven beyond reasonable doubt.
The Special Counsel therefore did not draw a conclusion — one way or the other — as to whether the examined conduct constituted obstruction. Instead, for each of the relevant actions investigated, the report sets out evidence on both sides of the question and leaves unresolved what the Special Counsel views as “difficult issues” of law and fact concerning whether the President’s actions and intent could be viewed as obstruction. The Special Counsel’s report states that “while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

After reviewing the Special Counsel’s final report on these issues; consulting with Department officials, including the Office of Legal Counsel; and applying the principles of federal prosecution that guide our charging decisions, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and I have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel’s investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense. Our determination was made without regard to, and is not based on, the constitutional considerations that surround the indictment and criminal prosecution of a sitting president.

Redacted items.

Based on my discussions with the Special Counsel and my initial review, it is apparent that the report contains material that is or could be subject to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(e), which imposes restrictions on the use and disclosure of information relating to “matter[s] occurring before [a] grand jury.” Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)(2)(B). Rule 6(e) generally limits disclosure of certain grand jury information in a criminal investigation and prosecution. Id. Disclosure of 6(e) material beyond the strict limits set forth in the rule is a crime in certain circumstances. See, e.g., 18 U.S.C. 401(3). This restriction protects the integrity of grand jury proceedings and ensures that the unique and invaluable investigative powers of a grand jury are used strictly for their intended criminal justice function.

PeterS

Briefed the target of an investigation about the investigation? When has that happened? I love how you twist things to hide the t***h. It's almost like you don't want it known. And quit pointing your finger at Obama and his administration. You people CLAIM to believe in the Constitution and the Rule of Law. There is not a single word in the Constitution or Rule of Law that if a past president does something wrong you are cleared to do the same thing.

If you don't believe in the constitution enough to stand up for its principles then what exactly do you people stand for...anything???

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

It was a great show, wasn't it. The "investigation" fired thousands of arrows at the target and missed every shot.

It is hypocritical to demand that I stop pointing my finger at the Obama administration when every swinging dick and sagging vulva in the progressive movement is pointing their appendages at Trump.

You ever heard the term "legal precedent"?

FYI: I do not CLAIM to believe the Constitution and the Rule of Law, I embrace them, and I will give my life defending them. Can you say the same?

PeterS

You cons are the ones who see no problem with the Attorney General of this country briefing the presidents lawyers about a two-year-long investigation that his administration is at the center of. Such actions are opposed to the principles of the Constitution and to the Rule of Law. Anyone who cared about the foundation this country was built upon should be screaming bloody murder! You, of course, could give a fuk because to you it's more important that YOUR president be protected than any t***h surrounding his actions be known.

You people don't care about this country. You don't care about the Constitution and you sure as s**t don't care about the Rule of Law. What you do care about, and the only thing you care about, is holding onto political power by any means necessary. So you want to point your crooked finger at liberals? Well, go ahead but you are the ones who claim to believe in values and morals. We don't run around making such claims YOU do!

Conservatives have turned themselves into the biggest joke this country has ever produced. There is nothing, from your religious beliefs to your political beliefs, that you CLAIM to believe do you actually live by. You persecuted Bill Clinton for 8 years over his sexual conduct and then you elect someone who makes him look like a choir boy. You don't care about the payoffs. You don't care about the campaign finance violations.

And we haven't even gotten to how Trump behaves when he's around Putin. For every meeting he's had with Vlad there is no a single transcript available to the public or even to his own administration. You would think that he would at least brief the intelligence community but no--not a word to those who are charged for the protection of this country. And the thing is, as bad as Trump's behavior is--he's not the problem. You people are the problem becasue you could give a rats ass about his behavior. This allows Trump to do anything he wants, whether it's within the boundaries of the Constitution and the Rule of Law or not. Makes no difference to those who claim to love this country above all else...

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

This is all bulls**t, Pete, unadulterated projected bulls**t.

A brief outline of liberal progressive doctrine.

1) We don't care about the country, we h**e it.
2) We don't care about the constitution, we h**e it.
3) We don't give a flying fk about the rule of law.
4) We don't care about collusion or obstruction of justice.
5) We don't give a s**t about morality, human decency, honor and respect.
666) We despise God and those who believe in Him.

Smedley_buzkill

Kind of like Obama, Clinton, Nixon and Johnson? You should read some history.

kemmer

That's one of the funnier things I've read today! Thank you.

kemmer

These points are embroidered on each of Trump's "extra fat" size pairs of underwear.

crazylibertarian Loc: Florida by way of New York & Rhode Island

There happens to be a big difference in this case, in that the target is POTUS who happens to be the head of all of the Executive, including the Justice Department, which people such as you willfully ignore.

Oh yes. it will be difficult for Trump to win in 2020 just like it was so hard for him to win in 2016. You remember that, don't you PeterS? How did it go? 'Donald Trump has a very narrow road to The White House' was the mantra.

You see PeterS, the public is starting to grasp that the Democratic Party is now 100% under the sway of c*******m and committed to the slaughter of the innocent and are as repulsed by it as everyone should be but which you Democrats have applauded every step of the way.

There's a karma to life, PeterS, & the Democrats may now experience it. The chickens are starting come home to roost on this barbarity. The blood of millions is on your approving hands.

There are several other sayings about it. Scripture says that you reap as you sow. ‘What goes around, comes around’ is another way to put it. ‘Every dog has his day’ is yet another but my favorite is, ‘Time wounds all heels.’ You’ll be wounded in ways you can’t even anticipate.

You progressives have been crying wolf so long. There was no collusion. Once Barr is finished with his investigation of how the whole collusion fiasco came to be, a bunch of Obama & Clinton people will have their careers destroyed and it couldn’t happen to better people. The judgmental are about to be judged.

kemmer

This has been the wet dream of trumpies for 2 years. Ain’t never gonna happen.

Peter, of course the Presidents team was briefed, after every thing was said and done. They need to be able to form a response. That doesn't mean the President or anyone on his team had anything to do with influencing the report. In fact the President has painstakingly made it a point to stay away from having any influence regarding the report. As usual, you'd rather climb a lemon tree to tell a lie about this President as apposed to stand on the ground and accept the t***h. Mike
