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

[glenwo2]

This is your brain when you worship a President of the United States and are too afraid to put any actual skin in the game.

Keep on cheering from the sofa at the T.V. Sherbro...

I thought he always did whenever he did these Press Conferences? His Orange Skin forever blinds us, for we are bear witness.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

You sure were sniffling and whipping your nose when people cited your lying prior and called you out on it. You went into a drama fit asking whyyyy? But I prefer your new stance that you don't mind being cited for your lying as you will take the stance it is them and not you. BUt yes, you do lie a lot. Thus why so many call you on it.

Lol.

I think the only Nazi’s left are old and in South America

They don't look South American to me...

 

[Strychnine]

He did though. It's on tape, you numpty.

Liberals and reality just don't mix. LOL

Show me where you put some skin in the game then get back to me. Until then, keep on cheering from the sofa Sherbro...

Looks like someone didn't get the message that Trump fans are supposed to pretend to think that he was cleared by the report:

if he was black like smollett you would be singing a different tune. *drops mic*

Liar exposed. Concession accepted.

President Trump failed that test when he said there were "Good People (Nazis)". These are people that want to murder me just because God made me with dark skin.

You honestly still believe in the "fine people" hoax?

The President was talking about fine people on both sides of the statue issue.

Here is the actual quote from President Trump:

“Excuse me, they didn’t put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group – excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.”

“I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.”

Glad I could clear that up for you.

The report is a hoax yet exonerates him at the same time.

What don't you get?

Its the kind of logic that wins support in the south and Midwest

Funny how he "neglects" to mention that part.

 

[DragRacer]

Yeah let’s not let reality get in the way of a misquote and rage.
Orange man bad, amirite?

^^^

This is your brain on CNN.

He specifically excluded those people from his statement referring to peaceful protesters.

Before you guys jump in and make it about Liberals vs Conservatives please just take the time to read the post. THIS IS NOT ABOUT ATTACKING TRUMP OR PARTY LINES.

I think part of the reports conclusion is getting lost in this battle to politicize the findings. I think there is another angle we need to look at. That is not to overshadow that Trump was not charged. The report shows there was not enough evidence to indict Trump but could not clear him.

But what I do want to talk about is the fact that the Mueller report says the Russians did, in fact, interfere with our election. The report states that while Trump hasn't been found to have collided, the Russians did infiltrate our political system and media to influence the election. This is a huge deal! One of the global superpowers literally took the liberty of coming into the UNITED STATES election and trying to swing it one way. I'm not saying Trump would have lost if they didn't do this, but I want people to understand the severity of what Russia has done here. This is a borderline declaration for WAR. Letting them get away with this and still cozying up to Putin shows total weakness by the US. It's incredible we would be OK and take this sitting down.

I just thought while everyone is trying to twist the report in a political light, Meullers conclusion that Russia influenced our election is getting overlooked. I'm a liberal bu I wish we could just look at the facts instead of attacking each other:

1. The report found there was not enough evidence to charge Trump with colluding with Russia, but also could not fully clear him of any wrongdoing.

2. Russia did interfere with the US election.

Only thing is who is Russia? Putin? Russian business man? The actual people behind it will be impossible to track down..

[second sight]

I was wondering how a party out of power was able to arrest Assange as soon as they realized this investigation blew up in their face

 

[second sight]

and just wait till the find out the DNC hacks were internal leaks

 

[JamesRussler]

If you cared to understand, you'd realize the Mueller report tells us there was never a possibility of indictment, regardless of what they found. Charging a sitting president criminally is literally impossible.

Despite Barr's blatant lying about Mueller's intent, it was always meant for Congress adjudication. Which is now where it is.

Although the DOJ has a policy against indicting sitting presidents, Mueller had options to secure indictments for Trump upon leaving office. He did not pursue those options. It was not “impossible” to charge Trump. Moreover, Mueller was free to opine that Trump committed a crime without indicting him. He declined to do so.

Second, Congress does not have prosecutorial authority. That function is reserved for the Executive branch, which in this case determined that no crime was committed. Keep in mind that the Special Counsel does not report to Congress; he is a DOJ employee, and all of his decisions are subject to review by the Attorney General. The AG makes the final call. Up until 1999, there was an Independent Counsel statute that gave Congress the ability to initiate special counsel investigations and empowered the prosecutor to make recommendations on the issue of impeachment. Congress let it expire. Long story short, Congress is stuck with Barr’s conclusion on the obstruction question.

Exactly.

Which makes Nadler's EMPTY-THREAT of so-called "Contempt of Congress" if he doesn't get his unredacted report on May 1st, absolutely stupid since No one is going to Jail for refusing a sack of shit like Nadler.

The only other option is the Courts and mind you....when this arrives at the SCOTUS, it's over.

Nadler, Pelosi, and the other Dems are *NOT* nor will they *EVER* get an unredacted report. PERIOD.

 

[andnowweknow]

Congress is stuck with Barr’s conclusion on the obstruction question.

We'll see what happens when the full unredacted report goes to Congress and Mueller testifies.

You have no idea what Trump will be charged with when leaving office, but there are many ongoing investigations which will obviously be problematic for him when he doesn't have the protections of the presidency.
