Yes, indeed, but maybe, just maybe if obama would have done more to stop it....and not tell his IT team to stand down.....somethings may not have happened.....
Obama knew Russia was trying to interfere with our last election as far back as 2014 and did nothing about it. There's where the investigation will lie.
"POLITICO spoke with more than a dozen current and former officials from across the national security spectrum, including intelligence agencies, the State Department and the Pentagon. Almost all said they were aware of Russia’s aggressive cyberespionage and disinformation campaigns — especially after the dramatic Russian attempt to hack Ukrainian elections in 2014 — but felt that either the White House or key agencies were unwilling to act forcefully to counter the Russian actions."
Barr and Mueller BOTH agree that Trump's actions didn't fall within the legal parameters of "obstructing justice"
Let's review the report shall we?
Both Barr and Mueller agree that obstruction of justice DID NOT occur.
Your own quote shows you are wrong. MUELLER did not agree that obstruction did not occur. As you quoted, Barr and Rosenstein concluded that, after less than 48 hours review. Not Mueller.
Cool! 174 pages and not one LWLT on here has been willing to man up and admit they were wrong. Bigly wrong. Stooopid wrong. Face the facts and join the MAGA team
You can't make that statement too strongly, you can't understate the importance of that finding. What the Russians did was an act of war, an act of cyber-terrorism every bit as destructive and in some ways more damaging that the 9/11 attack. While the loss of life in 9/11 was horrific, it was over and it was done. What the Russians are working to do as they have been ever since WWII, is to destabilize our democracy from within. Bit by bit, year by year they continue to chip away at the underpinnings.
And it happened under Obama's watch. Obama was aware of it and expressly told the FBI to "stand down" in their efforts to expose it and block it.
NOPE...the news and left wing pundits are once again, LYING to the public.
READ THE REPORT, instead of listening to TV anchors and commentators...
Barr and Mueller BOTH made it "crystal clear" and are in agreement that Trump's actions didn't fall within the legal parameters of "obstructing justice"
Let's review the report shall we?
Both Barr and Mueller agree that obstruction of justice DID NOT occur.
When the report is released let's revisit -- for now all we have is Barr's summary -- which could be influenced by his bias .
Your own quote shows you are wrong. MUELLER did not agree that obstruction did not occur. As you quoted, Barr and Rosenstein concluded that, after less than 48 hours review. Not Mueller.
Quote:
Over the course of the investigation, the Special Counsel's office engaged in discussions with certain Department officials regarding many of the legal and factual matters at issue in the Special Counsel's obstruction investigation. After reviewing the Special Counsel's final report on these issues; consulting with Department officials, including the Office of Legal Counsel; and applying the principles of federal prosecution that guide our charging decisions, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and I have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel's investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense.
Quote:
In cataloguing the President's actions, many of which took place in public view, the report identifies no actions that, in our judgment, constitute obstructive conduct, had a nexus to a pending or contemplated proceeding, and were done with corrupt intent, each of which, under the Department's principles of federal prosecution guiding charging decisions, would need to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to establish an obstruction-of-justice offense.
Nope, Barr's report reiterates that according to their legal standards, NO OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE occurred by Trump
In addition, Mueller Recommended "NO NEW INDICTMENTS"
Please show us anywhere where Mueller believes or outlines Trump's actions met the standards of "obstruction" and where the NEW indictments are to reflect that...I'll wait...
