From what I've read so far, everyone was just lying to the public all the time. But Trump's been doing that since day one so I guess we'll forget about this in a month or so.
Also interesting to see a lot of the media reports we had at the time were true.

@Brwned you sticking with the "Barr would never directly contradict Mueller" line?
Impeachment is not about criminality.
Clinton was impeached.
The problem is lying *under oath*. That is a very serious offence.
(It doesn't matter if the lying is about sex or whatever else. Lying under oath is the problem. )
wasn't Foster Bill Clinton's White house counsel?
Do you know what "impeached" means? That he had to face some charges. That's all. He was acquitted.
Deputy.
He commited suicide and right wing nuts made up conspiracy theories. Now libs are taking their turn.
Up to you now congress, Mueller as handed over to you.
Basically this.
Has it swung back to him being guilty then?
Even if Trump was impeached, he'd be acquitted, because a supermajority is needed to remove him from office, which the Dems don't have.
And I'd bet that Trump won't be impeached. The only way to remove him is to beat him in 2020.

Which presumably is why Trump refused to answer questions under oath.
Why is it one or the other? I would think the impeachment proceedings would shine the spotlight on Trump & Co's behavior, which would at the very least help to beat him in 2020.
Brilliant system isn't it? Dodgy as feck but potentially above the law...
Hilarious!
I do think it is a good system.
If you just needed a simple majority (50% plus one), then the Republicans would find a pretense and remove Obama from office quite early. Or Bernie, if he becomes a President.
Pretty much. I don't think this report is very helpful to his re election bid though.
First thing that came to my mind.
Imagine all of this shit doesn't include anything on Rodger "may harm ongoing matter" Stone
You have to give the GOP credit, they've played a blinder here. If the report had come out like this a month, Trump would be screwed, instead his media strategy has worked a charm.
He told Flynn repeatedly to go find the deleted, foreign hacked emails of his opposition candidate. I cannot understand how that is not a violation of campaign rules, and illegal.
But he has game of thrones memes so who cares.
I have zero sympathy today for all those having their healthcare taken, benefits slashed and losing their jobs due to this man and his policies, if they voted for him. He is scum and they're willfully choosing to ignore it.

Haven’t seen the report, but read that the Wikileaks section(s) is (are) more heavily redacted. His slimy ass has to be in there.
Gee, I'd love to see how ol' Donny Trump will wriggle his way out of THIS Jam!
Like clockwork.
Oh well...
Easily no doubt. Trump stay winning.
You have to wonder where we would be if Mueller was an Independent Counsel as opposed to a Special Counsel. The last month or so would have been a hell of a lot more fun.
Who pushed for that change? Dems?
Seth Abramson is the 'Q' of the Libs
The legal team on CNN just explained that quote was in relation to what he thought Mueller would find about his personal life and campaign finances.WOW.
Does that really sound like an innocent man.
And in their opinion contradicts Mueller's own judgement saying no clear motive to obstruct.
