    Just like I thought, there's a lot of juicy stuff already.

    "On June 17, 2017, after media reports indicated that special counsel Robert Mueller was investigating whether President Trump had obstructed justice, Trump called former White House lawyer Don McGahn at home and directed him to call the acting attorney general and say Mueller "had conflicts of interest and must be removed."

    McGahn declined to do so, deciding that he would "rather resign than trigger what he regarded as a potential Saturday Night Massacre."

    Candidate Trump made public statements that included the following: "Russia if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press." ... Within approximately five hours of Trump's statement, GRU officers targeted for the first time Clinton's personal office."

    From the report: "The President's efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the President declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests," the report said.

    Nope. You just made that up. :)

    10 instances investigated, zero obstruction found. :)

    No obstruction, no conspiracy. Nothing we already didn't know in this "lightly" redacted report. Dems lose again

    If a lie is told enough, the teller will become a victim of his own bullshit and believe it as truth.:roflol:

    From the report: If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, however, we are unable to reach that judgment

    Correlation is not causation. Heck, I think some Russians tried to hack my computer within an hour of Trump's comment.

    "...while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime,..."

    Good thing Trump had some competent people around him. If he didn't have these people advising him (as all Presidents do), he might have been his own worst enemy.

    Looks like "innocent until PROVEN guilty" works.

    Do you honestly believe that Russia tried to hack at that time because DT made that snide remark at a campaign rally? Does that really make sense to you? I'm not even seeing where he's telling them to hack: "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing."

    Really, now. It would be an astonishing coincidence for GRU to try and hack Clinton hours after Trump's speech saying they would be rewarded for finding Clinton's emails, wouldn't it? Of course it would. You don't seriously believe that.

    I thought the Democrats might be able to avoid impeaching Trump, but not after this. This is bad.

    It doesn't bother you the President tried to obstruct justice repeatedly but was thwarted when his own people wouldn't do it? At the very least Trump lied his ass off about it. Could the bar be any lower for some of you?

    It does not exonerate him. It’s on congress to determine.

    Yes, Trump did mock the collusionists with that statement. He is kind of a dk. Using our justice system as a weapon against political opponents has its risks.
