Is Barr fixing this for Trump? Thank God for the Southern District of NY, and a Democratic majority in the House:
Mueller report did not find evidence that Trump conspired with Russia, leaves unresolved whether he obstructed justice https://t.co/ly2jVNyDfn

So to repeat: Mueller didn’t make a recommendation on obstruction but Barr and Rosenstein decided the evidence did not merit a prosecution, leaving aside the question of whether the president can be indicted.

BREAKING: Mueller made no determination whether Trump tried to obstruct justice but set out evidence on both sides of the question, adding: "while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him"

On Friday, the Editorial Board wrote: All Americans deserve the chance to review Robert Mueller’s findings and reach their own conclusions. https://t.co/QwayTaBiuw https://t.co/47rRRdVtj2

Breaking news: Mueller was NOT consulted on this letter. The letter is wholly a product of Bill Barr.

The whole point of AG Barr releasing the letter now was to set the political tone, “frame the narrative” so to speak. Every word matters for that purpose. Notice denial of “knowingly coordinated” – 39 indictments easily suggests “unknowing” coordination. #MuellerReport

Institutionally, what do you do when a crime boss is elected president?
Of the criminals and slime-balls that Trump surrounded himself with in his campaign, Mueller got 37 indictments/or guilty pleas and 5 sentences on 199 counts of criminal activity. (That ain’t bad.)
Roger Stone, with Trump’s blessing, was the manipulator-in-chief.
The ring-master of the whole, sordid, politics-as-usual, mess.
His day of reckoning is coming.
Trump’s day will come once the Southern District of New York completes its investigation into Trump’s business affairs and sic’s the IRS on him.
Russia wasn’t the only country that interfered in our 2016 election.
That list includes Israel, China and Saudi Arabia.
It’s Trump’s IRS. As he demonstrated to Comey and Sessions, there will be no federal tax investigation of his affairs on his watch.
