Cnn: mueller report says that there is no beyond a reasonable doubt case for obstruction. Mueller had circumstantial evidence but he could not say potus committed obstruction without concrete intent and proof

Shame the media went along with shifting goalposts to the point where "definitive proof of collusion" was the only bar that mattered in this entire thing.
The investigation couldn't even prove obstruction of justice. Whatever the media had done, this came up pretty good for Trump, all things considered.

No obstruction of justice. Big for Trump.

Not necessarily. Mueller could lay out evidence that Trump obstructed justice, but because of his standing as POTUS be unable to conclusively say that it was a crime - hence batting it to the politicians as the question of whether a President can be prosecuted in the same way as a normal citizen isn't one he wants to touch?

I read the whole thing. No collusion, but maybe obstruction. Mueller refuses to commit on an answer and leaves it in the hand of the AG, who of course says there was no obstruction. This is not gonna get Trump impeached.

Unfortunate but I had a feeling the past couple days that this is how it'd turn out.

Get the vote out in 2020, guys. We'll have to change things ourselves.

Yeah I am going to need the FULL report. We need the underlying evidence.

The wording on these "Highlights" are really fucking well thought of and lets everyone feed of these tid bits without saying anything conclusive.

Very strong possibility that this will be essentially Mueller saying:

"Here's a shitload of evidence that suggests the POTUS has done a shitload of awful things, but I can't indict him and the DOJ can't make a typical prosecutorial decision because he's the POTUS. Now it's up to Congress and the Senate to decide if this justifies impeachment."

Exactly.

y'all better get ready to vote in 2020, because it looks like that's your last chance.
It always came down to 2020. The people who worked themselves into a lather thinking that this was going to end with Trump and his goons being escorted in handcuffs were always setting themselves up for disappointment.

"The Special Counsel's investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 US Presidential election."

Well there it is

He didn't "win" anything.
The letter itself is a "win" for Trump. It is the comey letter on steroids, even if it doesn't actually change anything because of later hearings and investigations.

If the letter was out a few days before the election it would be a "win" for the GOP.

lol @ thinking Barr, who was appointed by Trump well after this whole thing started, is going to do anything to hurt his master. Barr is a terrible human being who had the idea to pardon people involved with Iran Contra.
