Barr determined none of that was a crime. Of course, he'd already made it clear before he ever got the AG job that he wasn't about to go after Trump for obstruction of justice, so no surprise there.

Russian military officers in Russia hacked into Democrats’ computers, stole emails, and release them. Trump knew ahead of time about the WikiLeak dumps of these Russian-hacked emails.

Working from a “troll farm” in St. Petersburg, Russians spread anti-Clinton and pro-Trump propaganda across Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.

Trump's campaign manager shared polling data with former Russian intelligence officer, Konstantin Kilimnik.

According to the unreacted portions of the report, “They also discussed the status of the Trump Campaign and Manafort’s strategy for winning Democratic votes in Midwestern states,”

...

Are Republicans really okay with this?

If the candidates for the 2020 elections share polling data and campaign strategies with agents of a foreign government, is this just how the game is played now?

Is it okay if the next POTUS obstructs investigations? Encourages witnesses not to cooperate?

Just want to be be clear.

still crying bro,

Those sour grapes must really be hard to swallow, eh Brian?

Did he say this before or after he landed his Apache helicopter gunship in Helmand Province after valiantly warding off aerial attacks from Taliban fighter aircraft?

Yuk, yuk...yuk, yuk...

Yesss!! She can do it all during a live stream. She'll provide the munchies and invite Elizabeth "I'm gonna get me a beer" Warren to bring the beverages.

Seriously, if anyone's opinion has changed since the report came out, by all means, speak up.

Another nail in the Democratic Party coffin; unaffiliated voters will be watching the left's behavior, and will speak with their vote.

Yes, the Republicans will spin this report out of control. Nothing is ever Trumps fault. He is never guilty. Trump is delusional and so are his followers.

This report required me to either believe the President was very good at dodging responsibility for his campaign working with Wikileaks, meetings with Russians, sharing polling data, ect.

Or

The President and his men are soo inept and stupid that they didn't know they were being played by a Russian intelligence organization. That would mean we have one of the dumbest Presidents and staff to ever be elected.

Either way this is crazy.

Since you're here, why not answer the question?

Are you okay with agents of a foreign government involved in U.S. political campaigns?

Say, for example, that Biden, or whoever, hired a campaign manager who coordinated things with China,
polling data, strategy, etc. with agents of the Chinese government. Say the Chinese government operated "troll farms" sending out anti-Trump messages on every platform.

You good with that?

To put it succinctly, Mueller found that Trump repeatedly asked members of his administration to take actions that would clearly constitute obstruction of justice but they refused to do so.

By protecting themselves from possible obstruction of justice charges these officials were also protecting Trump from the legal consequences of his own stupidity.

You would be wrong on that as it was Conservatives that paid for it first.
