Mueller submitted a confidential report Friday to Barr, who reviewed the document and sent congressional leaders a four-page summary of Mueller’s “principal conclusions” late Sunday afternoon. But Democrats will face intense pressure from jubilant Republicans, who welcomed Barr’s summary, insisted it had cleared the president and maintained that it was time to end the investigations. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise said the report vindicates Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy declared Sunday that “it is time we move on for the good of the nation.”
As for the Mueller report’s apparent confidence that Trump and his subordinates had not colluded with Russians to sway the 2016 election, even when presented with the opportunity, Raskin insisted that he had “regarded the question of so-called collusion as an irrelevant distraction from the very beginning.”But that doesn’t mean Democrats are likely to drop the Russia-focused probe of their Trump investigations.
On the Sunday morning news shows, Nadler said it is “way too early to speculate” about impeachment. He said he still believes Trump obstructed justice, although “whether they’re criminal obstructions is another question.”

Sorry but the great deceivers in the Democratic leadership lose!
The Republicans obviously want to bury the full report. Nothing to see here, move along ... thank god the Democrats have the House.
Trump is only clear if the full report is released
Get over it
Full report
Another Dem witch hunt ended distracting America from real issues I have no idea why people vote Dem all they do is waste money and resources
If he isn’t guilty, then no reason not to release the report. An effort to keep it from the American people is equivalent to a confession of guilt by Trump and possibly Barr. They are only as guilty as their secrets, no secrets no guilt!
Out realDonaldTrump is truly vindicated in this report, then he and the GOP should want the entire document released. If it isn't, then there is damaging facts in the report.
The DEM coup has failed. When do we start throwing the DEM traitors in prison?
American taxpayers SHOULD see the full-report. We are after all the ones who paid for it!
If republicans thought that trump was vindicated they would support releasing the full report
maybe we should start to investigate Nadler and Hillary and all her cohorts the indictments are coming this is what this is all really about
Suuuure he is. Then they won’t mind releasing the full text, eh?
Let’s see the entire Mueller report.
ReleaseTheFullReport
Hey Dems,...kp insisting on that FULL report. Please show that u r fightg for smthg on behalf of the citizens. Thanks!
VINDICATED
You know that Trump can order the complete Mueller report to be made public. Given it’s a “complete vindication” why wouldn’t he?
He ain’t seen nothing yet! SDNY is waiting in the wings to take a crack at him and his corrupt family.
FULL REPORT must be released! 34 people indicted, 6 close associates of Trump, 5 guilty pleas. Sigh of relief for Republicans today ... but only thing answered is a sitting prez can't be indicted. Release the report!
If Trump is vindicated, why not let the american people see for themselves? ReleaseTheFullReport
Great day for the President but bad day for fake news like Washington post who have been filling the people’s mind with collusion delusion.
Republicans should care if the report is released if they truly believe that's what the report says.
They would regret the ask
trump is guilty of treason
The *summary*, created by Trump’s appointee, literally says he is not exonerated. This is the most irresponsible journalism I have ever seen. Fire everyone involved with this headline.
Nadler statement just recently is disgusting. The county is tired of the Dem lies and hate. Amazing how hate can show an intelligent person being so ignorant. If you really care about this country all the corrupt plYers in the lies and Dossier need to be exposed and tried.
Of course! The orders to stay on point comes from the top and they won't want Trump after them. Trump intimidates his constituents and has way to much power. In my lifetime I've never seen anything like this and everyday wonder what he'll do next, Where are the good people?
“Trump, trusting money is everything, is primed to do anything for money.” Idea credit to Ben Franklin
Trump will remain vindicated as long as the Mueller Report, as different from the Barr Report, remains hidden from the public. If Trump is indeed vindicated by the report, there should be no problem in releasing it.
mueller ES CORRUPTO RT
He’s vindicated also it’s against justice policy to release name of innocent people. Enough lives been destroyed. But Obama Cli Tom Nancy Schumer are rolling in $
No he’s not
Mueller’s starts with the good news, first.
The end.
Well, why keep the report secret?
He is not vindicated.
nytimes WSJ maddow NicolleDWallace Trump is not fully vindicated. It is time for the Dems to see the full report and documents just as the Republicans did when they were in the majority. In fact how could Barr go through everything in 2 days where it took Mueller 2 yrs?
Democrats lost. Their hoax didn’t work. Sad day for unhinged socialists.
We'll probably get a version of the final report on WikiLeaks in 2020, doesn't help any campaign in 2020 to expose this now. It would be better played in September of 2020 right before election time. I'm guessing the public will get a version of it, it just won't be now.
they cannot allow Trump to win this if he does,it's Dictator ship,and Civil blood bath
Barr just said he is now going to read the report, he must have disclosed the corrupt white house version earlier today.
Even if there anything in the report that implicates Trump, the propaganda has begun and Dems aren't that good at it
Of course they do. Reelection in 2020
Don’t you mean crooked Democratic leaders. They still can’t get over the Hillary loss they colluded to make happen but it didn’t
Bad losers
Democratic leaders can 'insist' all they want, but it is NOT their call as to what get's released, with that said, I think that Barr should release it as well. Though I don't see that happening
of corruption republicans refuse. they know the report doesn’t vindicates trump.
If he’s vindicated then release the report so we can all clearly see that.
If Repub Ldrs say Trump is vidicated, thn Why dn't they want the full Mueller Report to Congress? Mueller' report left Obstruction in doubt , did not indict or exonerate . Barr s he & Rosenstein dcidd evidence was nt enough Shldn't Cong make that decision after mre exam?
Not completely vindicated. The lies will eventually be disclosed. His kids can't keep a secret that long!
If he didn't conspire or 'collude' with Russia, that's GREAT news for our country! It still doesn't change my opinion of him as to him being a decent human being or fit for the office of the presidency. He only has 17 more investigations to goto prove he's pure as the driven snow
Prove it by releasing the full report.
GOP is delusional.
Tell us about the ties with Natalia Veselnitskaya ...
Just make the report public.
No, Barr said he was vindicated not Republicans or Mueller.
Got it wrong again Washingtonpost shameful, fakenews Liars !
I say release the entire report with all investigatory documents PROVIDED Dems agree to do the same when the IG Report on Hillary/Obama/DNC and rogue operatives comes out this summer. Tit for Tat. Good for Goose. Goes around comes around.
Barr set new bar for conspiracy, he wrote letter in favor of corrupt trump to lobby for AG post, his son-in-law now works for trump. look for example of coward corrupt shameless man? Look no further than LindseyGrahamSC. thestate RepMaxineWaters maddow Lawrence MSignorile
Some of it is classified. Time to apologize wapo for spreading fake news for 2 years!
If he's vindicated then release the report in full, obviously. 'If you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide' ~ Republican mantra since forever, or so I thought
ReleaseTheFullReport
No collusion. Every American should be happy, not crying like msm
Concentrate on SDNY’s investigations into Trump’s finances- tax returns, money laundering...
If they do not release the full report, that means that Trump is hiding something.
fakenewswashingtonpost oursourcesarenotreallysources EnemyOfThePeople
The American public needs to see the full report! We paid for it!
That's not a 'but' statement of contrary positions. Your bothsiderism is killing America
Correction: Muellers report says Trump is vindicated
All the indictments, the massive amount of lying from those indicted, the massive amount of lying from indicted Trump associates. Why ?, why all the lying ? Trump got what he needed from Barr, he picked the guy that would provide cover for him. This is U.S. politics not justice
TermLimitsNow
ReleaseTheFullReport Barr is a TrumpCrimeFamily STOOGE BarrCoverUp TrumpCrimeSyndicate
Trump NOT vindicated; Barr concedes this. Report only says Mueller unable2 FIND agreement to cooperate. No surprise since Putin is ex-KGB. Plus, 45's been money-laundering for Russia since at least 1984; they've had plenty of time to hide quid pro quo &make arrangements in person
Keep working hard Dems! IF there was Nothing there, then what’s the problem
This is very much what we should expect given what Barr put in his letter.
If Trump is vindicated they should be okay with making the full report public or at least presenting it to Congress.
They want the full report and a refill of Prozac.
Maybe RepJerryNadler and RepAdamSchiff can stay off of TV for awhile and do their job.
Americans saw and read nothing from this report, we were told this is what is in it. No way is this the same as coming to our own conclusion.
trump,& family R, taking all they can get from America'money, money, money,'! Above the law'₩
If he’s vindicated by the report then they’d be happy to show everyone. Prove to the media and public how wrong they were about Trump. ReleaseTheMuellerReport
Release the report if innocent...not one full Mueller sentence quoted...all Trump appointtee Barr? Bogus
The Washington Post should be ordering crow for all blatant lies about anonymous sources it posted since election day. They proved themselves worthy to be called the king of Fake News
Not totally and we want to read it for ourselves. We the people have a right to know.
Such BS! Can people Not read? He, Barr, stated quite clearly that trump is not EXONERATED! And if they’re so confident then they should have no issue with RELEASING THE REPORT
Not vindicated by any stretch of the imagination. He surrounded himself by convicted criminals. Not finding enough legal evidence against him does NOT exonerate him. He continues to be a threat to our Country. Congress must act!
Really!!! Republicans and theirs president really have a “honesty problems”vindicated is alternative” for republicans!
If trump has been exonerated, then release the whole report. No problem, right?
Good. Then the Republicans should have no issues with the report being turned over to Congress and the public, right?
LOCK THEM UP!! Hillary Clinton, Shiff all CNN, MSNBC all liars and now they want to change rules any which way so they can win 2020. What an embarrassment!!! Long live Trump!!!!
WaPo meltdown in progress!
It does not matter. Unfortunately Mr Trump is once again victorious. What if anything will bring him down
The Republican party reminds me of the Steve Martin short story ' The day the Dopes came over '
I am here in Brazil eating peanuts, surfing the internet and having the great pleasure of seeing the MSM face having to report that 'Mueller did not establish evidence that President Trump's team or any associates of the Trump campaign had conspired w/Russia.' What a happy day..!
It’s time to stay focused and PRAISE mueller. He was asked to perform a duty. He did. He did NOT have an agenda. He has a job to do. He did. Exonerated or not. He had a job. Praise him. Impartial. Thank you Mueller for your integrity on non partisanship.
He's NOT vindicated! The real Judge knows what happened and POTUS like everybody else will get exactly what he deserves!
Curious that it’s the Dems wanting release of the full MuellerReport, given Trump’s claim it exonerates him. Not “no collusion” but only no evidence of an explicit agreement to Not “exonerated” but “DOES NOT EXONERATE” Not “Mueller found,” but Trump-appointed AG determined
Trump has not been vindicated, it's what Barr decided to put out there. Nevertheless Trump is a criminal in many ways and one day the truth will out.
Report didn’t exonerate, and even your own article got it wrong. Barr letter did NOT say there was “no evidence” of collusion, as you misreported. Do better.
AGAIN MUELLER'S REPORT DOES NOT VINDICATED TRUMP AT ALL, SORRY TRUMP SLAVES BUT SDNY WILL KEEP INVESTIGATING THE CRIMES OF THE TRUMP FAMILY
Just because there was not enough evidence to PROVE it does not mean he is innocent....release all the words Mueller wrote if you think he is so innocent “
ReleaseMuellersReport
Perfect. Then the GOP won’t have any issues of releasing the full report.
How can Trump be vindicated if nobody is allowed to see the full report? If it truly exonerates him, why not let us all see if?
CollusionHoax was to cover up HillarysCrimes and the DNCPedoScandal wapoFakeNews
❤️🇺🇸👸🏼💋
Well, so long as you can trust the rock solid word of the Trump Administration, then Barr's memo is totally the objective truth. I'm sure it's not completely filled with lies. They would *never* do that.
He should be locked up for deleting 30,000 emails after they were subpoenaed. That is clearly an impeachable offense.
Duh he was, the MSM and the democrats working together won't admit it. You'll will come up with some other fake narrative
Of course they’re going to say he’s been vindicated; this isn’t even close, we need to see the full report and all the supporting evidence
Poor Dems , they just don’t know how to accept failure
Even if the WHOLE report is released , the takeaway remains the Same ... NO RUSSIA COLLUSION. And no OBSTRUCTION ... that still remains !! LOL. MuellerReport just handed realDonaldTrump a 2020 WIN !! LOL. TDS
You are FAKE NEWS
The gloating is intolerable. 'Look, what we got away with!' it seems to say.
Has anyone commenting on this situation actually read the real report?
Releasing the entire report would be violating the law. Of course Democrats don't really care about laws all that much.
Watch the Dems stupidly continue pushing this collusion/obstruction lie...all the way to a Trump landslide in 2020...man, you’d think they’d learn from what happened to Clinton heading to his second term...the American People don’t have an appetite for abuse of power...watch
“The reason many people in our society are miserable, sick, and highly stressed is because of an unhealthy attachment to things they have no control over.” ― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience
Four page does not exonerate a guilty AF person.
Bahaha...its an uphill battle ... MAGA2020
Trump wrote his vindication speech the day he put Barr in AG. After all, Barr predicated the findings.
