He accepted Mueller’s findings of fact. He based his decision on the law. Imagine what Harris et al would be saying if he’d decided to review 2 years of evidence. They’d be screaming he’s stalling & covering up. He had the option of not clearing Trump of obstruction immediately (especially since his haste meant he didn’t follow appropriate protocol), while still releasing the report. The two are not mutually exclusive. He also could have immediately released the 4 summaries Mueller and his team provided without providing one of his own. That’s why they were written and included with the report. Then he could have, and should have, taken the time to review the evidence before making a charging decision.

”OK, so after two years of hard work and each party trying their best to make the other party look as bad as possible, it’s time to get back to business. The Mueller Report strongly stated that there was No Collusion with Russia (of course) and, in fact, they were rebuffed.....”
”at every turn in attempts to gain access. But now Republicans and Democrats must come together for the good of the American people. No more costly & time consuming investigations. Lets do Immigration (Border), Infrastructure, much lower drug prices & much more - and do it now!”
Notice he dropped “obstruction” in his rants. “They were rebuffed at every turn” I’m assuming he is saying the those in the trump campaign “rebuffed the Russians at every turn”. I believe the report said the campaign expressed a willingness to work with Russia if it meant getting the dirt on Hillary Clinton.

Newsweek..
”Fox News legal expert says William Barr's argument against obstruction charges for Trump is "absurd" trib.al/IBRUHAr”
From the article.. “Napolitano, a former New Jersey Superior Court judge, gave his take on Barr’s defense of the president on his Fox News Digital show Judge Napolitano’s Chambers. He argued that Barr “has become the president of the United States’ defense lawyer,” as he explained why the attorney general wouldn’t allow Trump to be indicted.”
MSNBC..
”It's done"
President Trump says that he does not think he can let White House Counsel Don McGahn testify to Congress.”
McGahn doesn’t work for the White House anymore which means trump is no longer his employer. And trump did waive executive privilege and let McGhan talk to Mueller.
So I’m not sure trump can stop McGhan from talking to Congress.
Nor can trump decide what heating Congress will and won’t have. (Benghazi 8 hearings)

He should have been doing this from Day 1. Of course, he has to ruin it by lying and calling an end to investigations for his own benefit. I’m wondering, does he mean he no longer wants the additional investigations into Hillary, the “spying” (read: investigating) on his campaign, and the why the original investigation started? And sorry buddy, but the investigations that were handed off to other entities aren’t stopping just because you tweet that you want them to.

From the NYTimes..
“F.B.I. Sent Investigator Posing as Assistant to Meet With Trump Aide in 2016”
From the article.
WASHINGTON — The conversation at a London bar in September 2016 took a strange turn when the woman sitting across from George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign adviser, asked a direct question: Was the Trump campaign working with Russia?
The woman had set up the meeting to discuss foreign policy issues. But she was actually a government investigator posing as a research assistant, according to people familiar with the operation. The F.B.I. sent her to London as part of the counterintelligence inquiry opened that summer to better understand the Trump campaign’s links to Russia.
The American government’s affiliation with the woman, who said her name was Azra Turk, is one previously unreported detail of an operation that has become a political flash point in the face of accusations by President Trump and his allies that American law enforcement and intelligence officials spied on his campaign to undermine his electoral chances. Last year, he called it Spygate.
The decision to use Ms. Turk in the operation aimed at a presidential campaign official shows the level of alarm inside the F.B.I. during a frantic period when the bureau was trying to determine the scope of Russia’s attempts to disrupt the 2016 election, but could also give ammunition to Mr. Trump and his allies for their spying claims.
Ms. Turk went to London to help oversee the politically sensitive operation, working alongside a longtime informant, the Cambridge professor Stefan A. Halper. The move was a sign that the bureau wanted in place a trained investigator for a layer of oversight, as well as someone who could gather information for or serve as a credible witness in any potential prosecution that emerged from the case.
A spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment, as did a lawyer for Mr. Halper, Robert D. Luskin. Last year, Bill Priestap, then the bureau’s top counterintelligence agent who was deeply involved in the Russia inquiry, told Congress during a closed-door hearing that there was no F.B.I. conspiracy against Mr. Trump or his campaign.”
In other words the FBI was doing their job. But here is how trump is looking at it.
trump..
”Finally, Mainstream Media is getting involved - too “hot” to avoid. Pulitzer Prize anyone? The New York Times, on front page (finally), “Details effort to spy on Trump Campaign.” @foxandfriends This is bigger than WATERGATE, but the reverse!”

I’ll just say I’ll believe it when I see it because this is the guy who says one thing one morning and the opposite the next. Dems have had infrastructure, drug pricing, and immigration bills since last year and he didn’t bother to read or negotiate a single one of them. The only reasons he’s starting to act nicey-nicey are because of the heat, and the realization that even an incumbent president can’t rely on re-election with just a 30% base.

The only place these countries could find space to rent was property owned by the President of the United States?

linkNBC News... ”Trump, Putin discussed Mueller report and agreed no collusion, White House says” Oh well, then that makes it so.. From the article.. ”President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke Friday and both agreed "there was no collusion" between Moscow and Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said. Sanders said that the two briefly discussed special counsel Robert Mueller's report "essentially in the context of that it's over and there was no collusion." She added that she was "pretty sure both leaders were very well aware of (the Mueller report's finding) long before this call took place" because it was "something we've said for the better part of two and a half years." When asked if they also discussed election meddling by Russia that Mueller detailed in his report, she said that the administration is committed to securing American elections and blasted the Obama administration for not taking action in 2016. "This administration, unlike the previous one, takes election meddling seriously," she said. Well, we all know that is a lie.Trump later confirmed the call in a Friday tweet in which called the accusation of collusion the "Russian Hoax." "Had a long and very good conversation with President Putin of Russia. As I have always said, long before the Witch Hunt started, getting along with Russia, China, and everyone is a good thing, not a bad thing," he tweeted. "We discussed Trade, Venezuela, Ukraine, North Korea, Nuclear Arms Control and even the 'Russian Hoax.' Very productive talk!"

This is interesting. How come all of a sudden O’Rourke is sitting on top?

I’m literally speechless and disgusted at the same time.
Translation of below: Yea trump is a crook but let’s do nothing except move on.
From the latest Q poll
”American voters say 57 - 28 percent that Donald Trump committed crimes before he became president, according to a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today.
This compares to results of a March 5 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh- pe-ack) University National Poll, before release of the Mueller Report, in which voters said 64 - 24 percent that President Trump committed crimes before he was elected.
In today's survey, 46 percent of voters say Trump committed crimes since he became president and 46 percent say he did not commit crimes.
But American voters say 66 - 29 percent that Congress should not begin impeachment of President Trump. Democrats support impeachment 56 - 38 percent. Opposition to impeachment is 95 - 4 percent among Republicans and 70 - 27 percent among independent voters.
Investigating Trump distracts Congress from other national issues, 53 percent of voters say, while 43 percent say Congress can investigate Trump and work on other national issues at the same time.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller conducted a fair investigation, voters say 72 - 18 percent, including 65 - 25 percent among Republicans.
Voters say 51 - 38 percent that the Mueller Report did not clear President Trump of any wrongdoing.
American voters also say 54 - 42 percent that Trump "attempted to derail or obstruct the investigation into the Russian interference in the 2016 election."
"No. The Mueller Report did not clear President Trump, American voters say," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
"Yes. The President tried to thwart the investigation.
"But should impeachment proceed?
"The resounding 'no' from voters says Americans want to move on."
American voters give President Trump a negative 41 - 55 percent job approval rating, compared to a negative 38 - 55 percent rating March 5, before the release of the Mueller Report. Today, there is a wide gender gap as women disapprove 62 - 34 percent while men are divided, with 48 percent approving and 46 percent disapproving. ”

The House must post or list somewhere a list of the legislation that they have passed that McConnell is sitting on, refusing to consider most of them. All the Senate/McConnell are doing is rubber stamping the WH appointments!

This one tweet alone is reason by enough trump on why trump is unfit to be president.

Clint Watts..
”Exactly what Putin wanted and expected. This is why Russia backed Trump, elevate politicians to achieve what Russia wants - to subvert and weaken democracy, surrender the world to authoritarians, like the Kremlin”
“Yesterday’s Trump phone call to Putin cemented a victory for the Kremlin’s 5 year effort to subvert US democracy. The plan worked, Russia won. Only 1 big objective remains - ending sanctions”
“Putin likely can’t believe what he’s achieved with Trump. US President calling him, seeking him out at international meetings, repeating Kremlin disinformation from the White House, admonishing NATO & EU, unconditional US withdrawal in different regions”
“.@ignatiuspost noted a couple years back. What does America get from Trump’s currying favor with Putin and Russia? Makes no sense. Russia attacked 🇺🇸, why would we want to reset relations with Russia? Part 1 #MuellerReport to me says we should have no relations with Russia at all”
So what you have is a president willing to ignore our intelligence telling us a foreign country, who is an enemy, is meddling in our elections if it keeps him in power. And an entire political party is turning a blind eye to it as well.
Well isn’t that just grand.
