Robert Mueller officially finished his report on Friday and submitted this information to Attorney General Bob Barr for review. Here are four takeaways from the report.

1. No new indictments will be made according to Fox News:
MSNBC host Chris Matthews seemed livid that neither President Trump, his children, nor his “henchmen” would face any criminal charges from the special counsel.

“Maybe he missed the boat here,” Matthews said of Mueller. “Because we know about the Trump Tower meeting in June 2016, we know about the meeting at the cigar bar with Kilimnik [Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian political consultant]. My God, we know about all of those meetings with Kislyak [Sergey Kislyak, a Russian diplomat] at the Republican convention in Cleveland. All these dots we’re now to believe don’t connect.”

2. Congress can be briefed as soon as this weekend according to The New York Post:
“I may be in a position to advise you of the Special Counsel’s principal conclusions as soon as this weekend,” reads the document, sent to House Judiciary Committee members Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Doug Collins (R-GA).

The letter, dated March 22, was made public Friday evening, as Barr was reportedly reading the full report at the Justice Department. The letter marks an end to investigation that netted criminal charges of 30 people and three dozen companies. The probe suggests no additional indictments.

3. Dems are refusing to accept that there will be no more indictments even though Mueller is finished. According to Fox News:
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff rejected reports that no more Mueller indictments are coming, and suggested he would call the special counsel before a House panel if necessary to learn what is in the report.

“If necessary, we will call Bob Mueller or others before our committee, I would imagine the judiciary committee may call the attorney general if necessary,” the California Democrat said during an interview on CNN.

4. CNN is forced to admit that the Mueller report vindicates President Trump. According to The Daily Caller:
CNN pundits are admitting that Mueller’s final report vindicates President Donald Trump, undercutting the frenzied coverage the network has given the Russia investigation since its inception.

Special counsel Robert Mueller submitted his report on Russian collusion to Attorney General Bill Barr on Friday, finally wrapping up a 22-month investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

I say it is all about leaving Trump hanging loose to keep twisting in the wind.
It is a republican game to solve.
The democrat's just need to hang loose & just keep letting the chips fall where they may.
The republican plans seem to be one of just riding out this issue.
Waiting for the democrats to make a wrong move.
Citing any move the democrats make as a political issue.

It is Trumps private life that will do him in in the end any way.

It is all about who is the better poker player.
So far the democrats seem willing to let the republicans to make the first key move.
Making a key move or not by the republicans still leaves it in play until the election.

It should be a very interesting political time during the run up to the 2020 election.
To me.
I would say that the republicans need all the time they can get their hands on before that election.

I like to think of my self as an independent voter.
I don't have much love for either party. With the least love for the right.

What makes you say Democrats won't accept that no more indictments are to come from Mueller? The investigation into Trump has just begun by the Democrats and then there is the Southern District of NY which has much more on Trump than Mueller ever had. Democrats know that this is just the beginning so I see no reason they would be disappointed.

What surprises me is that cons saw this as a witch hunt have been absolutely mum over the facts that it doesn't seem to be the case. After all, if Mueller was out to get Trump he certainly had the time to make up the charges necessary to do so. That he didn't, means that Cons have been totally full of shit this whole time and disparaging our legal system for no other reason than to try to protect their worthless leader...

Mueller tried. It's why Cohen and Manifort were indicted. He wanted them to compose some good Russian collusion stuff. But even that snake Cohen couldn't do that.

woodguru

You forgot Flynn, who by the way has been cooperating, do you have any awareness of the deals Flynn was involved in, not just with Russia but the Saudi's as well?

Cohen's testimony has been devastating, and the ramifications to Trump and his family are not clear as the SDNY was waiting until Mueller and where his information goes is wrapped up.

The early birds out crowing about vindication and Trump being in the clear are going to get shot down

Mueller didn’t do his job. Mueller was to manufacture a crime that would remove Trump from office. He couldn't support it with witnesses, he couldn't find any real crimes, and he concluded that other attack dogs had a better chance. Mueller's one accomplishment was hiding evidence of sedition and treason within the obama Clinton cabal.
For that, hilliar might not suicide Mueller.
Or maybe not.

proud republican Loc: RED CALIFORNIA

If he vindicates President Trump, she will!!!

Liberty Tree

It was you libs crowing the whole time that after the Mueller investigation Trump and his whole family were going to jail. Now that has not panned out you use he same old Democrat trick of accusing others of what you do yourself. You are the ones disparaging the legal system by using it on a personal vendetta. Now you will try to use the state legal system to manufacture some charges. You are as anti- America as one can get.

Mikeyavelli

A quiet death, ironically with Russian poison.

Eeeck!!

Flynn was a hero. He resigned on Obama and even the FBI agents declared he didn’t lie and that was all they had on him.

You on the right have had your run at running this country.
You are going to be in second place for much longer than you would care to be.
There are less conservatives than there are liberals & independent voters.

Thanks to giving your undying support to Trump means you have lost any influence you once had over many of the voters.

So take your toys & go play with those cry babies from the right.
The game is changing & your game is not the only game any more.

When you get to close to a skunk. You may well have a hard time getting rid of the smell.
Trump has had contact with many that have carried a smelly reputation.

It seems like you don't mind the stink.
