Mueller report 'found no documentary evidence' to indicate that President Trump knew ahead of time about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between top campaign officials and a Kremlin-connected lawyer.

The president's former longtime attorney Michael Cohen, who is set to start a three-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to a list of federal felonies, including two relating to paying off women who alleged affairs with the president on Trump's behalf,Mueller wrote that although Cohen"believed that Trump Jr. had previously discussed the meeting with his father," the attorney"was not involved in any such conversation.

"According to Hicks, Kushner said that he wanted to fill the President in on something that had been discovered in the documents he was to provide to the congressional committees involving a meeting with him, Manafort, and Trump Jr." Mueller wrote."Kushner brought a folder of documents to [a] meeting and tried to show them to the President, but the President stopped Kushner and said he did not want to know about it, shutting the conversation down.

Hicks warned Trump that the emails were"really bad" and the story surrounding them would be"massive" once it broke, Mueller wrote, but Trump was"insistent that he did not want to talk about it and said he did not want details." In text messages provided to Mueller, Hicks agreed with Trump Jr. but said his father didn't want that in the statement because"he was worried it invites questions."

So that Russian computer server was nothing...the multiple communications between it and the Trump server, nothing...and that call between Don Jr and 'Individual 1' also nothing...talk about a big nothingburger with fries & a Coke *dies*

This Kremlin asset is a spy and professional striper.

Not true

Duuuuhhhhhhh!!!!!

I think everyone at MSNBC should resign

Time to get over all this and work together for this country !! 425 POUNDS of METH at the Texas boarder and MSM doesn’t even report it !!! Hello !!!!!

Whaaaat

This Kremlin-connected lawyer met with Steele Dossier author Glenn Simpson (who had connections with TheJusticeDept FBI DNC and Hillary Clinton) before and after this meeting. You folks are sick and amateur propagandists. You have to continue lying or you'll lose everything.

No evidence because these people are professional liars

Trying to insulate yourself so there's no direct evidence that you committed a crime doesn't work very well under the RICO Act.

“No documentation “ it was all verbal. The mob boss knew

... but did he know tho...

BS

No crap, but decided to push he knew about it anyway. MSM loses again. WINNING

Correct. Probably because, as the Mueller report notes, Trump officials destroyed evidence (texts, emails, etc). Innocent people typically do this kind of stuff.

MSNBC fake news get sicker and more hateful every day. What is their role in the coup attempt against the President? Investigation will show.

Why aren't you guys at MSNBC making a HUGE deal out of this? (via joshtpm). Was Mueller aware (or afraid) this would happen? Obstruction much? maddow allinwithchris amjoyshow lawrence DeadlineWH TheBeatWithAri MuellerReport TrumpColluded TrumpObstructed

NO Barr Found no evidence.

Translation: They didn't write it down. Wow. I'm convinced now...no collusion. (eyeroll) Seriously people?

You really don’t think he knows what his son is doing with Russians in the Trump Tower. I will believe in leprechauns first

MSNBC is so unbalanced they have zero conservatives on their shows ... ZERO. Great honest news. Haha

Imagine if he bleach washed his sever and smashed his phone.

But Trump himself dictated the response for Don JR which was obstructing the Truth!

Duh

Spy vs Spy .....

There is no evidence of God either but a lot of people think there is one or two.

What is it about 'no documentary evidence' that you don't understand besides your wishful thinking. How does it feel to lose AGAIN?

Keep it up kids. You're handing the 2020 election to Trump on a silver platter.

No documentary evidence b/c that's how e operates. He 'tells' his aides.

Just because they couldn't proove it, doesn't mean, Trump didn't know about it. We can to accept the findings of Mueller's 'tangible' evidence, on that. Everything else is damaging to Trump. We will not be DUMBED DOWN!

Wouldn't make a difference.

Seemed pretty clear... 🤨

Are conservatives still insisting this was about adoption?

Now that FoxNews has angered their viewers with Donna Brazile and Bernie Sanders should fire their whole staff and hire BillOReilly and take over the ratings as a conservative news station.

Narrator: But he *did* know

Of course Trump knew. Jr. would not have had the meeting without his dad knowing and approving.

MSNBC. = TOOLS

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said Thursday that the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report shows pursuing impeachment proceeding against President Donald Trump is “not worthwhile at this point.”

Because Trump & co may have destroyed it, as Mueller says in the report.
