    It's almost as dishonest as comparing a singular 22 month investigation that not only reimbursed its cost in the fines levied but indicted and convicted a whole lot of people to Benghazi.

    So a source claims that Mueller informed the DOJ that the probe would be "unable to reach a conclusion" on obstruction several weeks ago, which is being used to explain Barr's speed when it came to issuing his statement.

    Trump has asked for the report to go public. If it does not, we know he was lying and wants it hidden. A four-page summary by someone Trump appointed for his beliefs on Trump's limits does not count.
    There's going to be damning evidence in there... It just might reach the level of criminality. We know about some of that stuff now based on reporting

    There are 20 other investigations that have spun off.. Mueller had a pretty narrow scope. The other 20 investigations do not.

    Looking over the summary it does confirm Russia did influence the 2016, but is silent on how much the interference helped Trump.

    This is manifestly false; people have known Trump was a dumpster fire of a human being for decades .

    kinda hard to asses that without massive polling data right after the election to get peoples reasons for voting one way or another. But i think we can safely say that without the wikileaks email dumps Hillary would likely have won.

    Wikileaks was just good journalism though.

    Having re-read William Barr’s June 2018 Memo critiquing Mueller’s obstruction investigation and now his summary of Mueller’s Report, it is clear that Richard Nixon would not have been forced to resign his office if Barr had been Attorney General. Barr wants a POTUS above the law.

    Do you know what Obama didn't do after the whole birther conspiracies? Threaten to investigate those promoting it.

    Do you know what Hillary didn't do after the Benghazi or email investigations? Threaten to investigate those who investigated her.

    But Trump seems happy to threaten those investigating him because he's a fucking child.

    So he didn't threaten to investigate those promoting it? Glad we're on the same page then.

    Holy shit! The investigation cost $25 million?

    They said they will get about that much from Manafort, but they have to sell off his stuff to get it. How much you want to be the government gets pennies on the dollar for his properties?

    The government always screws things up.

    Please stop responding to Hubcap, you won't get anywhere. As he said himself in the Dark Humor thread:
