Tasos Katopodis / Getty ImagesGet breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.On coordination with the Russians, special counsel Robert Mueller was clear, according to the attorney general's letter to Congress Sunday: He did not find"that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Based on that, Barr, along with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, decided that the evidence collected by Mueller did not establish that Trump committed the crime of obstruction of justice."The whole point of the special counsel was to take the investigative and prosecutorial decisions away from the Trump appointees," said Gregory Brower, a former top FBI official."Mueller and Barr will have to explain this.
He said Mueller didn't identify actions that in Barr's judgment were done with corrupt intent. That corrupt intent, Barr said, is required"under the Department’s principles of federal prosecution guiding charging decisions, would need to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to establish an obstruction-of-justice offense."

AG Barr wanted this job so bad he wrote an 19 page article to Trump’s lawyers and he was hired. We simply want to (F) up his name some more. He has in the pass hid information during another investigation to help republicans. It’s is not going to work this timeLockHimUp Lock
No news is good news this is all useless to go with it doesn't help if your not apart of the solution your apart of the problem
Not enough means there are evidence that Trump committed crime.,,Barr protected Trump because he is Trump’spuppet
Amazing what money and power can accomplish, you can get away with Treason, Murder, and even controlling the most powerful country in the world..
All the Twitter lawyers in 3...2...
So was this investigation another flagrant waste of taxpayers money and time? It sure as Hell seems like !
We saw a lot of the evidence ourselves and we Totally Disagree.
Y df Muller indicated fn Russians if no collusion u make no fn sense
Far from exonerated. Like next galaxy far.
It did say it couldn’t really evaluate the President’s actions in a vacuum once it found there was definitely no collusion. Restated, how could he obstruct an investigation into a crime that did not happen....
Now that Mueller says there was no collusion, it is time to scrutinize the Obama Administration. They spied on a US campaign, wiretapped Americans, bit on the dossier and unmasked Flynn. What did Barack Obama know and what and when did he authorize it? - Ari Fleischer
At least they waited until the investigation was complete unlike Comey
Well, here is Mueller report! Obviously this is just a snippet of the full investigation through the eyes of the Atty. Gen., and yes, we do believe as much of the report should be released within the extend of the law; however it is unlikely that the conclusion will deviate.
After scanning through two years of information on the subject, the AG was able to decide in 2 days on the legal implications for realDonaldTrump WRT obstruction of justice!?! Hmmmm that has a strange odder to it....
Well that's one way to spin it. He didn't commit collusion. The Democrats that pushed this need to be looked at very seriously.
He did. “That Russia thing.”
The same shit Comey said about Hillary. Two peas in a pod.
Prosecutors do not exonerate they either have evidence to prosecute or not ... in this case not
In *any* world of the multiverse, this is NOT a vindication.
smart lawyers say dont put guilty on stand-seemed to work for moment. People should be pleased it was fair investigation by a dem consul. same CANT be said at the moment for the current AG. 2 much said by 2 many from 2 little info 4 now. need 2 step back,review & wait 4 full docs
Shame AG Barr doesn't get to make that legal claim based on his opinions, Congress does based on facts.
Go figure plz did u really expect anything else? This just gives idiots like SavannahGuthrie & NBCPolitics chucktodd something to 'discuss'to NO END along with THE NBCLIAR BRIANWILLANMS to DEATH ALL WEEK rather than IMPORTANTTOPICS
'Not sufficient' meaning there was some evidence just not enough 🤔
You want this to be a story so bad. It’s not. Move on. You were wrong.
FAKENEWS corrupt Democrats and participating media will start going down for treason in 3.....2.....1......
Rosanne Barr doesn't do comedy anymore?
It's over! Your coup lost !
Fake investigation! Fake conclusion! Waste of tax payers money!!
FakeNews needs to learn how to report the truth. smh
And these people are collecting a salary paid for from our taxes. What a bunch of complete incompetents.
Analysis: Based off AG Barr's summary, Special Counsel Mueller's report delivers a political 'gift' to President Trump ahead of the 2020 election.
They couldn't prove Russian Collusion or Obstruction Of Justice beyond a reasonable doubt & there was no way they were going to charge a president with anything less. But the sitting president is still Individual 1.
MSM LIED TO US
So now that mueller still could not find any collusion but had to stick it in Trump's craw because the President said stuff mueller didn't like, nadler and the rest are in the feeding frenzy!
What happened to Rod’s spine? Shame on him
Nothing burger.
This guy does not look happy. I feel that he has been threatened somehow.
ReleaseFullReport ReleaseTheEntireReportNOW ReleaseTheMuellerReport ReleaseMuellerReport ......just release
What a failure Mueller was! Republicans don’t convict republicans.
The real collusion is between media and democrats
Absolve from blame for a fault or wrongdoing, exonerate,so does that mean he didn't want to exonerate or by law couldn't
Table spin
The media right now:
Your experts spoke for more than two years Russia Russia Russia. Now it's over and you are still going to cost Americans legislation that should be done, spend another 25 million of taxpayer money for what. One word. Power.
Wipe away those tears! Fake news loses!
Trump is getting away with everything. Sad day for America and the world. Barr was brought in by trump so trump was protected
On obstruction. It is clear on collusion.
Puts the “big as Watergate” conspiracy theory peddling to bed once and for all.
So why have you been lying about our President for two years? You have egg on your face.
There was NO collusion! Hence there can’t be obstruction! Don’t fall for this insane spin
WaitToDecide until experts read the entire report vice the 4-page Bahr letter; page 2 in 2nd paragraph where Bahr, the AG, place all conclusion for crime, obstruction onto the AG (himself) b/c special counselor provided evidence, data w/o assessment. Recall “..and misdeamenors”
Spin, spin, spin...It's time. Do the right thing RealWalkAway
No you freakin jerks, it said NO EVIDENCE OF CONSPIRACY OR COLLUSION FROM TRUMP OR HIS CAMPAIGN & THERE WERE MULTIPLE RUSSIAN ATTEMPTS TO HELP TRUMP & WAS TURNED DOWN BY TRUMP CAMPAIGN! You media is the ones spreading this CRAP
Kinda hard to obstruct when there wasn't a crime. Just saying.
What part didn’t you understand
And note: If there is nothing to worry about in the report then handing it over should be a non-issue.
Bill Barr needs to hand over the full report. A report that took 2 years to develop can not be interpreted in 48 hours unless you already made up your mind before you saw it what your take on it is. Barr is bought and paid for by realDonaldTrump
Which means there is no evidence to say that trump committed obstruction
How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?
It was super clear that there was no Russian collusion. Wasn’t that the goal of the Investigation?
Trump has rare wisdom and a brilliant leadership style. In the face of relentless attacks, he has accomplished so much while maintaining he cool and his sense of humor.
Are you ready to cover the lawsuits against various media outlets and against various Democrat politicians who made false and libelous claims against Donald Trump?
Looks like NBC news got their talking points from Stacey and their off to the races.
This is good news. You should be happy that the President didn’t collude with Russia. This is an objectively good thing. Only partisan anti-American hacks could possibly be upset by the news.
Nothing burger!
Waaaaaaaa-Waaaaaaaa-Waaaaaa😪😪😪😪😪😵
The wit h hunt will continue since they could not accept a loss and for over 2 years they will try any way possible. Sit down shut up and enjoy the bumpy ride
The fix is in TrumpCrimeSyndicate
ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport
Meuller will likely resign if he disagrees with Barr and write a book
You don’t like the outcome so now you question your ALL democrat investigation... fakenews
You can't be exonerated from a crime you didn't commit so......
I’m totally going to do corrupt sh*t now bc apparently you don’t get caught. Oh wait, I’m not rich or white.
How/why would you obstruct an investigation into a crime that did not happen (as we just found out)? Only reason I can think of is realDonaldTrump did not want the presidency dragged through the mud and opportunities of this country to be missed. Which happened... Unfortunately!
“Mens rea” ...hauntingly familiar
Bill Barr, sent an unsolicited 20-page memo to DOJ clearing the president of obstruction of justice—which also made its way to the White House. This was before he was even selected or confirmed. Now he's made that judgement official.
Hand-picked member of a corrupt administration determined what now?
In your face Nancy Pelosi
The spin is on
