Wire DOJ Finally Releases 2019 Memo Absolving Trump of Everything Mueller Documented in His Report

The Justice Department has released a 2019 memo that put to rest any prosecution of former President Donald Trump over allegations contained in the Mueller report.

Special counsel Robert Mueller, whose investigation was criticized by Trump, was hired to probe allegations of collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia. He found no such connections.

However, Mueller’s report cited 10 instances in which he believed there could have been possible obstruction of justice, without saying if they merited prosecution, according to NBC News.

That prompted a DOJ review, which culminated in the nine-page memo released Wednesday. The memo said there was no justification to prosecute Trump for obstruction of justice.

The memo was released after the group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a Freedom of Information lawsuit. The DOJ opposed the request, but lost the case in court, NPR reported.

The memo said Trump’s requests to fire Mueller were made “not for an illegal purpose, but rather because he believed the investigation was politically motivated and undermined his administration’s efforts to govern.”

The memo stressed that Trump wanted to end the distractions caused by the probe.

“The President’s public statements could be viewed as efforts to defend himself from public criticism related to the Special Counsel’s investigation or to discourage the witnesses from making what the President believed might be false statements in exchange for a lesser sentence. Those statements do not warrant a prosecution for obstruction of justice,” the memo said.

“In the absence of an underlying offense, the most compelling inference in evaluating the President’s conduct is that he reasonably believed that the Special Counsel’s investigation was interfering with his governing agenda.

“Even if the President were objectively wrong about the intentions of the Special Counsel, many, if not all, of his actions could be viewed as lacking the intent element under the relevant statutes,” the memo said.

The memo touched on Trump’s dismissal of FBI Director James Comey and a comment he made to Comey related to an investigation of former national security advisor Michael Flynn.

“The President’s expression of ‘hope’ that Comey would ‘let this go’ did not clearly direct a particular action in the Flynn investigation, and Comey did not react at the time as though he had received a direct order from the President,” the memo said.

The result, the memo said, was that prosecution was not warranted.

“A fair evaluation of the special council’s findings and legal theories weighs in favor of declining prosecution,” the memo said.

“While cataloguing actions that the president took, many of which took place in public view, the report identifies no actions that, in our judgment, constituted obstructive acts, done with a nexus to a pending proceeding, with the corrupt intent necessary to warrant prosecution under the obstruction-of-justice statutes.”

Mueller’s “thorough investigation did not establish that the President committed any underlying crime related to Russian interference,” the memo said, noting that “it would be rare for federal prosecutors to bring an obstruction prosecution that did not itself arise out of a proceeding related to a separate crime.”

“Having reviewed the Report in light of the governing legal principles, and the Principles of Federal Prosecution, we conclude that none of these instances would warrant a prosecution for obstruction of justice, without regard to the constitutional constraint on bringing such an action against a sitting president,” the memo said.

“In addition, we believe that certain of the conduct examined by the Special Counsel could not, as a matter of law, support an obstruction charge under the circumstances.”

Eric Trump: Republican Party Is Now the Trump Party


Eric Trump has said that the GOP is the party of his father, following Representative Liz Cheney's resounding primary defeat in Wyoming.

Analyzing the aftermath of Cheney's defeat to Harriet Hageman, Eric Trump touted the influence that his father had on the GOP.

Hageman benefited from the former president's backing, which followed Cheney's condemnation of Donald Trump and her role in investigating the r**t at the U.S. Capitol on J****** 6, 2021.

Following the result in which Hageman took at least 66.3 percent of the v**e, to Cheney's 28.9 percent, the former president's second eldest son was asked on conservative channel Newsmax whether the Republican Party was now the "party of Trump."

"There's no question. I mean, it's not even the Republican Party. I'd say it's actually the Trump party," he said on Wednesday.

He praised his father's endorsement rate which he said was "incredible." According to B****tpedia, ex-President Trump has had a 92 percent success rate in 2022—or 183-17—in endorsing primary candidates. This was lower than the figure Eric Trump gave Newsmax of "176 to six."

"Most of the time, endorsements are worth absolutely nothing. No one cares about endorsements," Eric Trump said, describing how his father had brought in Latino and Black v**ers.

"My father has literally brought in a whole new party from the RINO [Republican in name only] class of the Republican Party," he said.

"He literally brought in a whole new party that stands for something totally different than the wider class of the Republican Party ever stood for," he said. "My father's really redefined what the party is, how the party speaks to its constituents and I think it's exactly why you have this overwhelming support in all of the people he's endorsed."

Some experts agreed that the former president has influence in the GOP as he purges it of dissenters like Cheney and others who have defied him, ahead of the midterm e******ns in November.

"There's no doubt that the GOP remains thoroughly Trumpified, and supporting Trump and at least giving lip service to the 'Big Lie' have become litmus tests for Republicans making serious bids for state and local office," said founding director of University College London's Centre on U.S. Politics, Thomas Gift.

"If there's one lesson from Cheney's lopsided defeat, it's how difficult it is to run as a Republican who doesn't embrace the former president with the level of toadying fealty he expects," he told Newsweek.

"Even candidates who don't win Trump's coveted endorsement continue to throw everything but the kitchen sink at v**ers in an effort to prove they're in Trump's good graces," he said. "That proves how much sway Trump continues to exert over the party."

Of the 10 House Republicans including Cheney who v**ed to impeach Trump for inciting the J*** 6, 2021 i**********n, only two remain candidates for re-e******n. The others have bowed out or have lost to Trump-backed challengers.

"It's just a party of Donald Trump's fever dreams," Mark Salter, a former Republican aide to the late Sen. John McCain told the Associated Press. "It's just Donald Trump's club."

The anti-Trump political action committee (PAC), Lincoln Project, said that Cheney's defeat marked "the end of the Republican Party."

"What remains shares the name and branding of the traditional GOP, but is in fact an authoritarian nationalist cult dedicated only to Donald Trump."

Columnist and author Brian J. Karem tweeted: "There is no GOP any more. Just Trump and those modeled after him, many of whom are ready to fight for control of the party once Trump leaves."

Well she sends nasty rude comments on the PM then blocks me. All because I pointed out she supports an ex-president stealing top secret and secret documents from the White House and denies he ever had them.
Then I tried to point out that I agree with a******ns in the case of rape, incest and well being of the mother. But she does not agree with a women's right to choose in the case of rape and especially incest. I don’t know why she’s so adamant about not having a choice on a******n for incest but I have to respect her ideology of a women does not have the the right to choose. I guess women cannot think or reason but we have to respect that. I don’t understand why she gets so upset I told her it’s her right to think wh**ever she wants I just respectfully disagreed.

But if she wants to block me I guess that’s her right but it’s the incest thing that bothers me the most. Incest creates mental instability and I pointed out it takes approximately 4 generation in the family to bread incest out. But she was adamant I wonder what her hang up is about incest does anybody on OPP have any idea why. Maybe she can find a conspiracy theory as to why.

But I do apologize if I offended her in any way. She has a right to think in the case of incest that the mother should be required to carry the baby full term so again if I offended proud Republican I would like to on the open site apologize
