House Democrats pushing for the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian election interference say they are not hearing much interest on the subject from their constituents back home.

A redacted version of Mueller's report is expected within days. In a letter on March 24 summarizing Mueller's findings, U.S. Attorney General William Barr said the special counsel had not found a conspiracy involving President Donald Trump's campaign and the Russian government. The special counsel also did not make a determination about whether Trump's actions during the investigation amounted to obstruction.

Despite the Washington intrigue over the Mueller report, many Democrats say they're not hearing much about it at town halls or in the grocery store aisles when they return to their districts.

Rep. Dale Kildee, D-Mich., said he usually runs into someone who brings up the subject every day.

But "the vast majority of what I hear is about kitchen-table issues," Kildee said. "People just talk about their own situation."

MSN
What part of the special council indefinitely stating "The investigation led by Robert S. Mueller III found no evidence that President Trump or any of his aides coordinated with the Russian government’s 2016 election interference" wasn't clear the first time?

The investigation is over and people are moving on. Try focusing on an actual campaign that can win for next year.

I don't know about people not caring about being lied to. We'll have to see about that.

Trump carrying on about being exonerated just falls in the list of lies he tells on a daily basis.

Sigh.

Trump was exonerated from Russian collusion.

As far as exoneration with respect to Obstruction of Justice, that's an entirely different story.

If there was no crime, what was obstructed?


Justice doesn't go looking for crime. They only harass and fleece once one has been committed.

11 legal experts have gone on record to say that's not how it works. There's at least 2 cases that helped to set the precedent (Martha Stewart and Scooter Libby).

I frankly don't care if he's charged with a crime or not.

I'm merely setting the facts straight about his exoneration and whether it's *possible* to be charged for obstruction.

Until the public see the report for themselves, there is always going to be speculation about it's contents.

The bottom line conclusions told the story. The rest of the report is just media drama.

That's bogus. They're talking about something different and pretending it's the same. Martha Stewart wasn't convicted of anything requiring proof of a "corrupt" intent, which is the only context in which the existence of an underlying crime would be relevant.
