    You too? The evidence does not say that. Only the propagandists say that and apparently you believe them.

    I'm amused.

    You guys are the ones misquoting and misconstruing. I just happen to find that funny.

    Well he was busy with screwing up the Olympic bomber and anthrax cases.

    He did get Martha Stewart though, so there is that.

    Downplay, downplay.

    Trump attempted to obstruct justice, and the Mueller report gives us his motive for doing so:

    Trump’s reported reaction when he was told Mueller was appointed: “This is the end of my presidency. I’m ****ed.”

    Exactly. He was openly accepting the help of a hostile foreign power. Sickening.

    I love it! I hope you continue with your conspiracy theories and ridiculous claims. I bet you are one of the hold outs that still watch CNN and MSNBC.

    And decided not to charge him.

    I love when they reveal how much they don't know about anything.

    Yep, and apparently in the most legally safe way he could, avoiding anything that might implicate him. But he loved every bit of help he could get from Russia and from WikiLeaks, and actively and publicly encouraged both to continue to interfere on his behalf.

    His obstruction of justice is no less disgusting, though, and that is going to be no less actionable.

    Time to impeach the dirty lying traitor.

    democratic process,
    Barr may have told you that, but no one else of whom I am aware.

    Appointed by the Trump Justice Department "to oversee the previously-confirmed FBI investigation of Russian government efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election and related matters," the Republican Special Counsel's investigation has resulted in the indictments, convictions, confessions, and incarcerations of several of Trump's Republican senior cronies, of course, but I am relatively confident that impeachment is unlikely. Republican Ayatollah Pence in 2020 would have been a harrowing prospect. Fortunately, Mueller's diligence has triggered a number of criminal investigations in other venues that will be fighting for truth, justice, and the American way.

    Republican Barr, as Trump's AG, finding it necessary to reference Trump's emotional instability as an excuse for his pissy behavior was amusing.

    He further confirmed what the Republican-run Senate Committee on Intelligence had verified - that Russia conspired to pervert a US presidential election. That is of far greater consequence and concern:

    Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
    ... Moscow sought to denigrate Secretary Clinton. • The ICA relies on public Russian leadership commentary, Russian state media reports, public examples of where Russian interests would have aligned with candidates' policy statements, and a body of intelligence reporting to support the assessment that Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for Trump

    https://www.burr.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/SSCI ICA ASSESSMENT_FINALJULY3.pdf
    That attack upon the US, without regard to the extent to which it succeeded, is the vital matter of national security that must be confronted, and appropriate safeguards against further such perversions undertaken.

    "I said, 'did you do it?' And he said 'No,
    I did not. Absolutely not!' I then asked him
    a second time in a totally different way.
    He said absolutely not."

    You do realize that "Deep State" is an imaginary opponent and a desperate deflection, don't you?

    Seems like my post hit a nerve.

    BTW: I never said Trump should be impeached without the evidence.

    Even if not rising to the level of a crime, it should be clear for all to see what an unethical lowlife Trump is. Actually, we didn't need the report to know that.

    Let's see how well 2020 will be going for him with the motto "not a crime".

    Yes! Yes! Impeach! We saw what that did to the Republican seats with Clinton when he was guilty of lying to a Federal Judge. It will be even worse for Democrats!

    Isn't that the bend and twist the truth dance that Trump choreographed? Laugh while you can because the report is going to show that Barr's overview of the report was totally misleading. That report was meant to be given to congress for a conclusion. Barr took it upon himself to present his own conclusion to the public. DOJ policy prohibited anyone in DOJ from indicting a sitting president, including Barr. Therefore, the conclusion of the investigation was supposed to have been left to congress. Barr gave more than one misleading summary prior to releasing the redacted report in an attempt to influence the public's perception of its contents. The truth is going to be revealed and it is not going to be kind to Trump.

    Funny bone, maybe.

    What "unethical evidence" to impeach do you have here?

    If you'd like to follow Maxine Waters over the cliff, be my guest.

    Would you also pretend it may not have been Russia when you knew it was?

    Not at all

    Its a label given to high ranking rogue career employees within the executive branch who seek to control events such as presidential elections

    Don't worry, that is just the first stage of grief....."denial of reality". You will go through the other stages soon enough after you become aware that there is NOTHING to nail Trump for. After about a month....when the Mueller reports disappears from the news, your grieving will become much better to cope with.
