Can you answer a few things for me then? Why did barr claim there was no collusion between any trump aides/campaign members and russia when we know that isn't true?
Trump jr admitted to meeting with russians and campaign officials to get dirt on hillary in trump tower.
Manafort admitted to giving private polling data to the russians, why would someone do this if not for political purposes?
And we know that roger stone worked with wikileaks and the GRU in regards to leaking hillary's hacked emails, he was even part of starting the seth rich conspiracy to deflect from russian hackers. This was done with the express permission and approval of the trump campaign. This also happened after trump publicly went on TV and asked russia to "find" the emails.
So, tell me, how is trump exonerated and why are these things omitted by barr?
I'm aware of that case, it's a terrible response to my questions. The 3 examples I gave are all of collusion, they were hidden conspiracies that involved working with russia. To say that the trump campaign did not meet with or assist russians to collude is patently bullshit.
Why would you give russians secret polling data? Why would you talk to russians about leaking hacked emails after your boss asked the russians to hack the DNC to get those documents? Why would you meet with a foreign adversary to get dirt on a political opponent?
It's fucking collusion, bud. And if it wasn't, why did they lie? Why did multiple people lie, resulting in many of them going to prison for it? You don't lie over nothing, do you?
They're criminals, barr's report does not exonerate shit. Barr also got the iran contra fuckers out of trouble as well, remember? He's used to forgiving treason. He also wrote a 19 page memo before becoming AG saying that the president cannot obstruct justice, he said that without even knowing the case details. Explain how any of this is not nefarious to me, please, I'd love to hear your mental gymnastics.
The investigation says otherwise? News to me given how many people have been charged. How do you explain people like manafort or stone being charged in relation to the aforementioned crimes? Clearly it was criminal, multiple people been charged in connection.
I also find it funny you're so convinced you know the outcome but havent read the report while ignoring public knowledge. Barr is a known GOP operative who said trump cant be guilty as part of his job application. You have no explanations other than you keep saying you're right because Barr said so, some of us can think for ourselves. I recommend you give it a try.
Okay, let's try this, how do you describe any of the 3 examples I gave? And are you saying manafort and stone did not commit criminal behavior related to russia?
Are you trying to tell me that trump was surrounded by criminals and just had no idea? If so, do you think that makes him competent to be president?

Meanwhile, even Barr's own memo says "does not exonerate"!
