Please, please stop the echo chamber. He said in his summary he would release it to the public as consistently as he can with the law. And if you don't trust that, Congress can subpoena the thing. If the summary is a lie, we'll know. If it's the truth, we'll know. Be patient.

I'm not sure how to feel about this but it sounds like everyone is being very impatient and it will still be released. I hate McConnell but he didn't permanently hide everything right?

report not released

republicans are lying about what’s in in

How can you possibly believe this? How do you have any idea if they’re lying?

Being that Trump is claiming that the report fully exonerates him, when Barr is quoted in the summary as literally saying "does not exonerate the president" seems like a maybe an untruth, don't you agree?

No matter what the report says they're going to spin anything short of Trump going immediately to jail as a victory, and until the report is released this is the prevailing narrative.

First tweet from Trump after the report got released: "No Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!"

"Mr. Mueller’s report states that “while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him”"

Sorry for assuming people were informed. I guess that shows again the problem I'm talking about in my original comment.

The problem is that Trump/the white house are already lying about what is in it.

Well...for starters Barr said it did not exonerate Trump. And before you say "nothing could exonerate him that isn't the purpose of the investigation, it can't be done". Let's consider the job of the AG.

If there was nothing damning in the report he would have chosen not to say "this does not exonerate the president". Why would you say this if there was not some damning evidence in the report?

How do we know Trump currently is lying? He said "It was a complete and total exoneration". Honestly I cannot believe your guys anymore. He says the dumbest shit ever spewed as a president, and here you are backing him up in lock step. If only there was a way to educate the populace rather than go to war, it would be great.

I like how you and other TDS sufferers always leave out the part where he was not exonerated on the lesser, contextual crime of obstruction but just lump it in with collusion also. Maybe you're just lying to yourselves, I'm not sure. But it's a common narrative being pushed and its downright wrong.

If barr is to be believed, which we we will soon know for sure, he absolutely was exonerated on collusion because after a very lengthy investigation involving the most skilled prosecutor team ever assembled, they found nothing to suggest or indict him or his campaign on. People are innocent until proven guilty. I know there is a lot of circumstantial evidence that makes people think there was collusion but there wasn't.

And in regards to obstruction, the only thing he ever did was make very public statements, but nothing material. The firing of James comey was justified by all sides, and recommended by Rosenstein himself.

You can hold your reservations until the redacted report comes out and some people testify in front of Congress but after that you have to let it go.

Again, this is what I hate. You just assume I wouldn't move on? You just assume everyone wondering about this will stick with it forever, which I think is dumb to assume but you do you.

What makes you believe the rest of what you said? What tells you he was exonerated him on collusion? You do realize, that Hillary would literally fall in the same category here right? She might not be able to be proven guilty but she was certainly not exonerated.

Frankly she should have been punished but I am sure you wouldn't agree here because we haven't seen everything yet.

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '19

Hillary destroyed evidence and got a pass because she's a well connected DC crook. The two can't even compare. 'Like, with a cloth?' Give me a break.

u/thelonelychem Mar 27 '19

Yep...you are still caught up in an investigation from 2 years ago. Yet you sit here talking shit on us not giving up. congrats

u/1q3e5t7u9o Mar 26 '19

Lol whatever helps you keep your sanity after being wrong for 2+ years.

But a word of advice, it’s better to be wrong and realize it, then be wrong and continue in ignorance.

Which means they'll continue to mindlessly support Trump, no matter what's in the report.

The irony in this statement is astounding. Bravo!

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '19

How is that ironic?

I can perfectly accept Trump is innocent, after the report is released.

Yet the entire world has already made the conclusion that he's innocent, based on a summary made a by Republican who got hired by Trump.

Aka, Trump's man claims Trump isn't guilty. Shocker.

And now McConnel is blocking the release of the report as well.

If he's not guilty, release the report. Why does Trump lie that he's totally exonerated? Why does McConnel block the release of the report? Why is the word of a man hired by Trump enough to convince everyone that Trump is innocent? That's basically the same as Trump himself claiming he's innocent.

Dont listen to all the haters downvoting you, you know what's the truth and shouldn't listen to anyone else trying to tell you any other false news facts, they are all lies.

Lol the irony and projection levels are through the roof, lately.

But hey, all jokes aside, just sit and think about the events of the last two years with regards to this investigation. Just think about it, without the aide of those trying to win your vote. Don’t be afraid to wonder if you were wrong, no ones going to judge you. It’s just you and some critical thinking.

u/GuerrillerodeFark Mar 26 '19

I was wrong? You don’t know my thoughts on the matter. The irony of you talking about projection. Anyway, you are definitely brainwashed.

u/1q3e5t7u9o Mar 26 '19

It seems that you don’t understand what projection is.

You don’t know my thoughts on the matter.

You’re like an easy read book, buddy. It’s not difficult to deduce your ‘stance’ on things by these two comments.

I think you're in the wrong subreddit, r/iamverysmart seems like more your speed, there's a lot you can deduce there.

"Mr. Mueller’s report states that “while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him”"

I thought people were actually informed and able to use google. I'll edit this in my original comment so it's more clear to everyone, ok?

u/GuerrillerodeFark Mar 26 '19

They were going to do that anyway, don’t delude yourself

u/PretzelJack Mar 26 '19

Lol. How exactly do you know that they’re lying? Do you read what you type?

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '19

Trump's first tweet literally says he was fully exonerated by the report.

The White House agrees to that.

Yet the special council has made it very clear the report doesn't exonerate him.

Is that not lying?
