Mueller knew that it would be counterproductive to come out and say that Trump should be prosecuted for obstruction of justice because he was writing a report for a DOJ which has a prohibition against indicting a sitting President. Instead he essentially outlined the articles of impeachment for Congress to do its job.

This puts Pelosi in a real bind. She has made it clear she doesn't want to impeach prior to 2020 election because it might backfire and it distracts from Dems' agenda. However, this report is going to create more and more pressure, especially from the far left, for her to move forward on impeachment. Mueller has teed it up for her.

Boy I don't know about this Barr guy

I don't think the far left gives a shit. It's the #resistance middle left that does.

Obviously you have to impeach the guy

I don't care where that puts me

yeah my goodness. what a schlep. pretty impressive they were able to install him just in time.

There's a reason they didn't just release the report right away. This thing is juicy as shit.

appears too that trump only answered russia related questions and refused to answer any on obstruction. mueller didnt subpoena bc they thought it would delay the investigation and already felt like they knew enough.

WORDS OF THE INNOCENT: "Trump, when told of special counsel's appointment, cursed and said, ‘This is the end of my presidency.'"

You left out the best part!

He said "I'm fucked"

I mean you do but also I'm not sure. It isn't going to end in a conviction or resignation. The real question is does it move the needle in 2020? Toughie.

The fact checkers are going to get drunk since all of their statements are being supported through the documentation in the report. WaPo's lie counter guy is completely validated.

Russian intelligence targeted Clinton five hours after Trump publicly asked them to

you are right, no period where I put it. "This is the end of my presidency, and I 'm F'ed."

Tasty that the F word makes it into Meuller report

absolutely wild.

surely it just happened that way and they werent listening or anything like that.

Impeach him!

I have a bet on him to be impeached by the House before January 2021 at +240 from before the midterms, thought it was dead, but it feels alive again

Also he's not a good president

Some campaign officials deleted communications which made it harder to determine events...

Did I hear that Rudy & Co. got a look at the report before hand? I thought that they were just working from the expectation, but I think I just heard that Trump's attorneys got it first.

this report that exonerated him seems actually not good. go figure!

Flynn actually attempted to find the CLINTON EMAILS

Huckabee Sanders had to admit her comments about FBI agents losing confidence in Comey were not founded on anything.

So, a lie.
