THE REPORT, buttoned up (SCO Thread v. 33)

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Of course they were. Lying about meetings with the same people that the trump administration were actively seeking support from, certainly relates to the collusion.

Hell, the largest portion that Barr has chosen to redact deals directly with that.

Perhaps you are right about what is redacted. I am not privy to the redacted portions and cannot comment. However, in the published portions, Mueller makes it clear repeatedly that the evidence the investigation uncovered does not establish that any person related to the Trump campaign or "any US person" colluded or coordinated with the Russian government. If the evidence established that they did collude with the Russians in election interference, then I think you and I can agree that Mueller should have charged them.

Working with foreign operatives or foreign governments to get information on domestic political opponents during an election should be harshly punished regardless of who did it. That's a principle I think we can all stand behind.

Too damn bad. Impeachment would be uhmazing at this point.

I think people need to stop getting so obsessed with making this happen, when it clearly won't.

 

[SBJJ]

Someone let McCan know Barr did in fact have the last word.

Thanks.

THERE WILL BE.........

Then you should be outraged by Barr's conclusion that while the trump campaign absolutely coordinated with wikileaks to obtain information that they knew was illegally obtained by the russian state, he refuses to charge anything because Mueller cannot show that wikileaks worked on the hack itself, just willingly passed along such information.

So yeah, they did exactly what you're complaining about. So what's your excuse? That because they used wikileaks as a buffer, nothing wrong whatsoever?

Christ dude. The opposing parties campaign paid FUCKING MONEY for foreign information. Paid ACTUAL MONEY to a foreign agent

No, they did not do exactly what I am complaining about. Barr accurately echoed Mueller's finding that the evidence does not establish collusion by the Trump campaign. You think he should have disregarded Mueller's conclusion? I think it would have been silly and unfruitful. Imagine how easily a defense attorney would shred a collusion case with Mueller's report in hand.

You know it's a shitty day for trump when you guys have to start tagging people and claiming victory. It's ok boy, I didn't figure you'd have the courage to weigh in for yourself.

You have nothing. Your report amounts to nothing. You have no reasonable candidate for 2020.

 

[Darkballs]

You think he should have disregarded Mueller's conclusion?

Mueller's conclusion was that despite this DOJ's strict policy on never indicting a president for obstruction, here's all the evidence he had for obstruction, do with it as you will. Mueller very explicitly did not exonerate trump, and I'm not sure why you'd lie about that.

To this affect Mueller clearly laid out how the trump administration worked with a third party that was working with a foreign state. You think that buffer alone is enough to escape all liability. I disagree.

How the fuck was I even supposed to respond to that???

Barr should go scorched earth on these motherfuckers.

He should go full force after those that started all this shit. Gloves off

 

[Rematch]

It'll be alright. Next time will be "it".

Both sides did. Republicans first, then dems. But paying for information from a foreign source isn't illegal nor unethical. Working with a third party who you know obtained the information from a foreign state that obtained it by theft, is certainly unethical.

Pretty big distinction you're leaving out.

Incorrect. Only ONE campaign PAID CASH MONEY.

And sorry, but imo paying a foreign agent cash for made up bullshit is unethical. And so is requesting hacked emails

 

[andnowweknow]

Yeah, just imagine the fallout of the government brazenly lying to the public.

images unrelated

Quaint, if not without nuance.

 

[Darkballs]

Incorrect. Only ONE campaign PAID CASH MONEY.

So you have no problem with republicans working with a third party to obtain stolen information collected by russian intelligence, but you have a problem with democrats obtaining information from a private citizen, because they paid cash?

No. Evidence. Of. Collusion.

Actually reading the posts of those you are debating is very important

You said that only one group paid cash, and that's a crucial distinction to you. I don't see how that makes a difference. Feel free to elaborate.
