Re: Calumniating Barr: the latest tactic
Faith writes: He spends most of his time trying to keep his campaign promises and thinking about that sort of thing so he isn't tuned in enough to where the attacks are coming from. Really??? Trump promised that he would pass laws that would put everyone on health insurance. However, the Republican bill he backed would have left millions of Americans without health insurance. When has he ever attempted to pass legislation that would give every American affordable health insurance? Can you name the bill?

Re: Calumniating Barr: the latest tactic
917 of them as of now. STATEMENT BY FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTORS. There's an updated CSV there.
quote:
The Mueller report describes several acts that satisfy all of the elements for an obstruction charge: conduct that obstructed or attempted to obstruct the truth-finding process, as to which the evidence of corrupt intent and connection to pending proceedings is overwhelming. These include: · The President’s efforts to fire Mueller and to falsify evidence about that effort; · The President’s efforts to limit the scope of Mueller’s investigation to exclude his conduct; and · The President’s efforts to prevent witnesses from cooperating with investigators probing him and his campaign.

Re: Calumniating Barr: the latest tactic
Faith writes: Yes I believe he's honest, not clearheaded about a lot of things but honest, not articulate at times when he needs to be but honest. What scares me is that he is just wrong on so many things, very basic things that any president should know. For example, who pays the tariffs on goods that come into the US? Trump seemed to think that the Chinese pay these tariffs to the US Treasury instead of US importers. How did he not know that Americans pay those tariffs? Either he is too ignorant to be president, or he was lying. Either way, it's not a good look.

Re: Calumniating Barr: the latest tactic
If there were "all the elements for an obstruction charge," Mueller would have brought that charge, that was the whole point of his investigation, to bring charges where he found it justified. Had the points you name qualified, Mueller would have brought the charges. He didn't. He had no other job than that and since he didn't do it there was clearly no obstruction of justice according to his investigation. Oh and by the way the fact that a sitting President cannot be indicted NEVER EVER entered into any of the report's considerations, which was said very clearly by at least Mueller I think. It would at least have been mentioned in that gossip sheet called volume2. Edited by Faith, : No reason given. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Re: Calumniating Barr: the latest tactic
Mueller's report DID exonerate Trump, of both "collusion" and obstruction of justice. Because that was the only point of such a report, to bring charges where cause was found. Cause was not found, that's the same as saying the report exonerated him.

David Cole on the Mueller Report
By happy coincidence, I just downloaded the latest issue of The New York Review of Books. First article:
An Indictment in All But Nameby David Cole.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s long-awaited report, released to the public in a redacted version on April 18, lays out in meticulous detail both a blatantly illegal effort by Russia to throw the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump and repeated efforts by President Trump to end, limit, or impede Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference. Trump’s efforts included firing or attempting to fire those overseeing the investigation, directing subordinates to lie on his behalf, cajoling witnesses not to cooperate, and doctoring a public statement about a Trump Tower meeting between his son and closest advisers and a Russian lawyer offering compromising information on Hillary Clinton.
Hell hath no fury like a white man scorned. If you take nothing else from the Senate's confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh, take that much. -- Kai Wright

Re: Calumniating Barr: the latest tactic

False. The report specifically states that the president could not be exonerated of the obstruction of justice charges. That quote was even in Barr's summary of the report.
While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him. edited to add the quote Edited by DrJones*, : No reason given.

Re: Calumniating Barr: the latest tactic
The report had no authority whatever to "exonerate" anyone so stating that it didn't do so is just manipulative puff. All such an investigation can do is find that there is cause for criminal charges. That's ALL it can do and it found no such cause. Again, if Mueller had found such a cause HE WOULD HAVE BROUGHT CHARGES. Again, even the mention of exoneration is just the usual fakery to keep something going that in reality is dead, anything to keep up the fiction that Trump is at fault despite the finding that he was not at fault.

Re: David Cole on the Mueller Report
There is no such thing as news any more, it's all made up gossip. Fake News. "Indictment in all but name?" Oh nonsense. If there had been anything to charge Trump with he would have been charged. Sheesh.

Re: Calumniating Barr: the latest tactic
The facts of the report exonerate him. The report has no such authority but since it didn't charge him with a crime he is exonerated.
