Mueller Report in Attorney General's Hands...A Short Summary is Released

The Mueller Report is now in the hands of U.S. Attorney General William Barr, and he has issued a summary statement on it.  The independent counsel, during his two-year investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 American presidential election, has apparently found no evidence of illegal collusion or conspiracy with them from the Trump campaign...and furthermore does not promote a charge of obstruction against the president.  But it was also established that Russia did seek to interfere in our election...and we don't need Mueller to know that Trump and his campaign at least passively supported that interference: Trump's on record as publicly urging Russia to find thousands of missing Hillary Clinton emails while urging people to go to Wikileaks to read other illegally-hacked Democratic Party emails.  As I have been looking at it, I have repeatedly stated that countries all over the world try to influence the outcomes of others' elections, and the United States is no exception.  It was already widely known before the 2016 election that Russia was trying to affect our election in favor of the Trump candidacy...it's our own voters' fault if they were so stupid as to buy into what was being put out.  Besides, I still strongly maintain that FBI Director James Comey's highly publicized reopening of his organization's investigation into Hillary's emails just ten days before the election had a much greater effect on the election outcome...Obama should have canned him long before Trump ever had the chance to...

My main concern about President Trump and the Russians has always been that they had something on him that would politically damage him were he to stray from their agenda for him as the U.S president.  But while publicly gracious and generous to President Putin, Trump is actually strengthening our national defense and showing a greater practical assertiveness toward Russia as well as China.  And both George W. Bush and Barack Obama are well documented early on in their respective presidencies for speaking as if Putin were really a good guy and not the brutal autocratic aggressor on the international level that he really is.  In any event, Robert Mueller obviously found nothing proving that any blackmail was occurring against Trump on behalf of the Russian regime under Putin...

So now, depending on which TV news channel you're watching, Trump is either completely exonerated or the attorney general is covering up the body of Mueller's report, omitting sections that would cast doubt on the president's innocence regarding Russian interference.   My suggestion is that whenever the subject of ongoing discussion is about the Mueller Report...be it on CNN, FoxNews, or MSNBC...just say "NO" and turn the channel, for at least during the next few days you're not going to hear anything new that will enlighten you further about this matter...
