Thousands of liberals will be crying into their Quorn.

Analysing, reflecting and reading between the lines to try to understand what the all the parsing means. The Mueller report is not, and never was going to be, anything more than part of a process. There is as much left unsaid as said by the Barr summary. A summary produced by an AJ appointed by Trump. Only when Congress gets the whole report, it's committees have all done their work, and the various jurisdictions preparing indictments have all concluded. will any objective judgements be possible. That won't stop the Trump cult members crowing and claiming complete vindication but there is much water to flow under the bridge yet so I would not be laughing too loudly just yet if I were Trump. He certainly acts guilty for an innocent man.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Well fair play to you for coming onto the thread.

But it's already been said that there will be no more indictments.

What you are talking about is the desperate meowings of democratic party activists and mainstream media who are trying to cover for the fact that they have been lying to their supporters for years now.

All of Trump's team and dealings have been poured over massively....Yet with Clinton it was a complete joke.

The left and the media, who are losing even more credibility will look for anything...of that I have little doubt. They will look for anything they can possibly make more media about and talk up...but it will result in no more convictions....and nothing over collusion.

They lied.....Politicians, activists and media lied....imagine my shock.

2 Years.
25 million dollars
2,800 subpoenas
500 witness interviews
500 search warrants
230 communications records
50 phone taps
13 foreign govt intel requests

Result....No collusion - insufficient evidence of obstruction.

What a colossal almost criminal waste of taxpayer money. I can only imagine it was to give both the democrats and media something to blame and talk about over 2016.

Sure, Trump's maybe an arse as a person, but hey, what's their excuse?

There are no ethnics is politics, only power.....and the difference is one side lie about being ethical far more than the other.

Special prosecutors are meant to be independent they are in fact creatures of the people who appoint them. They rarely stick to the task they are giving and and end up just muck raking as has happened here.

This is not just a moan about the Democrats, Republicans did the same with President Clinton.

The whole process stinks of partisan politics and does an injustice to the American people. I don't doubt that there are things in Trumps past he would like to keep quiet but not exonerating him after finding no evidence seems petty and speaks more about Mueller than it does the president.

Hopefully politicians on both sides will realise that this type of investigation is harmful to politics and ensure that in future the parameters are clearly defined.

It's ironic that in the USA if you have a warrant to search for drugs and find something else that is illegal and no drugs it is quite likely that the judge will throw the search out as a "fishing expedition" and yet it is OK to do that with the president.

Back at the beginning one of the triggers for all this was an British intelligence officer who made all sorts of lurid claims about Trump and Russian prostitutes. It may have escaped attention by the media but in court the other week he admitted his source of "intel" was a social media forum, in other words no creditable source at all.

One more point

A very good post.

There really needs to be a coming together of the sensible people within both parties and a serious attempt made to clean up the abuses of the system.

We can see how both parties abuse and manipulate to suit agendas and it all amounts to a corruption justified by bias.

True objectivity may be impossible.....but if we don't have enough people committed to truth over agenda we are in trouble.
