Mueller is too by the book. He, probably wrongly, assumed those above him would accurately represent his report.

I certainly would have liked to see him take a firmer stand on things - but that's not how he operates.

He didn’t go by the book. A prosecutor indicts or they don’t. I never heard a prosecutor in my life say he couldn’t find a crime and in the same sentence he couldn’t exonerate either and punt the ball to his superiors and then blame his superiors for reaching a conclusion he made.

That’s not how he operates? Then he shouldn’t have taken job. He was hired to investigate Russian collusion in the 2016 election and any other crimes. His job is to investigate alleged crimes and decide if there is enough evidence to indict or not. If he can’t do that why waste the DOJ’s time and resources?

Wow. It's not about "feeling emotional", it's about being ethical.

Hirono got it right when she called for an investigation of Barr.

Common sense is NOT getting used to the new normal of if the president does it it's NOT illegal. When the president has to surround himself with yes men only there to protect HIM then he is hiding more than we know.
It is common sense to want to know what this administration is doing & NOT getting used to this behavior.

Following lawful jurisprudence is the "new normal", and that has you upset?

Too ****ing bad!

Russia is the least of our problems in our politics.
These are lies.

The full report was not released. A good deal of it was blacked out.

Even that much was only released after Barr spent a month misleading Congress and citizens about what was in it.

Whether you believe it or not, Putin interfering in our elections is indeed a serious problem.

Clinton brought up a good point last night on Rachel Maddow's show.

To point out how absurd it is for Republicans to maintain that it is fine and dandy for Trump to seek out and accept campaign help from the Russian government, what if a 2020 candidate openly asked the Chinese government to find Trump's tax returns and publish them?
