    My POINT is that reasonable doubt can and is grounds for dismissal of charges. You cant then say "but we think he did it anyway"

    Burden of proof is on the prosecution.

    Yes or no?

Again, that's informed by the fact that manafort gave kilimnik polling data, which we know because of manafort's lawyer's crappy redactions.
    Remember, Kilimnik is not officially part of the Russian government.
    just demand a full release of the report.

    SO Barr formatted it as a quote from the actual Mueller Report, perjured himself and is blatantly lying? Or he actually quoted the report as his summary says? Occam's razor my man (or woman).

    Oh, for sure. That's all there is, but of course everyone, and I do mean everyone, is jumping to conclusions right now. We will have to wait and see and normally we should trust someone in Barr's position is unfortunately not happening given his track record.

    Like you and I have said, have to wait for the report, and hopefully it is released with near all or all of it unredacted.

    I wasnt aware Barr gave whatever quote he did under oath.

    Perjury is for testimony under oath.

    You are right, but to think that there is no evidence is just trying to be ignorant. So perhaps you should slow your roll, much like everyone else.

    I don't know of any summaries that are given under oath? What does that have to do with Barr quoting from the Mueller report?

    If there is evidence...where is it?

    Mueller doesnt seem to have it.

    Yup, this is important. A person who was Specifically appointed to defend Trump, did make a report that's not under any oath, and also this person was responsible for the Iran-Contra Coverup
    Is it too hard to demand (and wait) the full report? Why the fuck do trumpettes not want that? if it really vindicates dotard tang, it would make his reelection bid much more powerful.

    Oops..............
    At this point we're not talking about sending trump to jail, so we shouldn't be using, "beyond a reasonable doubt" as the standard of proof. At best I'd argue we use the standard of proof of "preponderance of the evidence." It's "more likely than not." It's what more than 4 in 5 of legal cases in the US are decided upon.

    Mueller does have the jurisdiction. It's just against DoJ policy, and the evidence for collusion doesn't meet the standard of proof of, "beyond a reasonable doubt."

    No he wasnt

    Then-Attorney General Barr supported the president's decision in the Iran-Contra case, which gave clemency to people who had been officials in the administration of President Ronald Reagan, including former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger. He had been set to go on trial to face charges about lying to Congress.

    All those millions of $dollars wasted on this investigation.

    Might as well piled all that money up and put a match to it.

    Which ends the matter there and then.

    One way or another that report will get out with no redactions. Everyone in D.C. seems to be pretending that there is one paper copy of the report and that there aren't copies of it sitting around on laptops and on printers. That's just dumb. It absolutely will get leaked.

    If it ever makes it to court this summary would be presented as evidence and he would be forced to explain himself. Don't get stuck up on a word in order to avoid my question.

    What does that have to do with Barr quoting Muellers report, a few times throughout his summary? And why do you believe Barr is lying about quoting from the Mueller report?
