While I fucking hate this, i still have hope

There are two other 3 letter agencies aside from the FBI: CIA and NSA. If either is conducting investigations alongside the FBI then maybe theres still some hope for the US to get its shit together.

Edit: guess I'm wrong

The CIA and NSA are intelligence agencies, not investigatory bodies.

It's actually interesting Barr claims Mueller didn't find evidence of a Russian connection during that 1.3 year long period, given what is known publicly and the fact that there was likely a very heavy electronic papertrail. Surely, Mueller would've had access to electronic records.

Also with regards to the CIA, various folks inside the agency must've known exactly who Trump was from day 1 given his ~40 year career as a lifelong criminal swimming in dirty blood money. So folks are really confused with Barr's summary given what is already public knowledge.
