ROBERT MUELLER has concluded his investigation into links and/or co-ordination between President Donald Trump’s electoral campaign and the Russian government. This is a big moment. The special counsel’s probe has already been the downfall of some of Mr Trump’s closest former advisers. Many of the president’s opponents are hoping his final report, now sitting on the desk of Attorney-General William Barr, is about to hook an even bigger fish: the president himself.
Second, despite a relentless attack on Mr Mueller by the president, who branded the probe a “witch-hunt” and slandered its investigators, it appears to have been conducted without political interference. The Justice Department has intimated that Mr Mueller does not intend to issue any further indictment. And in his letter to Congress Mr Barr said Mr Mueller had not been refused permission to take any “proposed action”.
The final report could contain additional incriminating details about Mr Trump. If, for example, the special counsel was deterred from indicting him only by the Justice Department’s policy of granting immunity to a sitting president, Mr Mueller might be expected to inform Mr Barr of the charges he would otherwise have brought. This is clearly possible. But there is nothing in the available evidence to suggest it is likely.
The most damaging misbehaviour by the Trump team—and conceivably Mr Trump himself—examined by the special counsel concerned its communications with Russians. Yet this is subject to a continuing counter-intelligence investigation, and therefore most likely to be kept under wraps by Mr Barr. The fact that the attorney-general has a history of taking an expansive view of executive power, which in this hypothetical case could be cited on national security grounds, makes that seem likelier still.
One can only hope
Mueller squeezed so many people in an effort to get Trump. Mueller's tactics were unprecedented. His deal with Cohen for perjured testimony is unconscionable. Facilitating a breach of the attorney-client privilege. The IG should go after Mueller for prosecutorial abuse.
The investigation was a witch hunt without proper basis from the get-go – Trump was right. The Steele dossier was a sham. Trump has reason to be upset the investigation took so long — should have been completed _before_ the 2018 election. 31 months to come up with ... nothing.
What 'damage'? Trump has been amazingly productive in only 2+ years and isn't slowing down. Cohen and Manafort's offenses had nothing to do with Trump/campaign/Presidency. Only Russians charged with major offenses. No collusion. No Obstruction. You should say ‘vindication’.
The polls say otherwise.
The Leftists are unacceptably obstructionist. They are like spoiled children; if they cannot have their own way, they simply make life miserable for everyone else
Damaging this president was always a fait accompli. It is really about taking him down. This, they will never do.
Six more wonderful years of Pres Trump. Life in America will be wonderful, except for Socialists and freeloaders. Too hell with them, anyway.
The fact that this headline has to do with what damage anticipation of the report has caused and not with the actual report (“no indictments”) is a textbook example of media spin.
Only through the visions of those vehemently wishing for Mr Trump to fail
'Fakenews. Many peoples say I am the best and most favorite President ever. Accomplished the most of all Presidents in our lifetime' . Heard somewhere from Mar A Largo TV room.
Boomerang. Moolah is the one with his credibility shredded. Biased witch hunt, wasted $$$M, just to confirm it’s a hoax to keep the heat on DT, so the real Ruskie colluders (HRC,Comey , Moolah via U1) gets a free get out of jail card. Declass!
I sure hope Mueller spoke to plagiarist Meredith McIver, who sat up on the 26th floor with Felix Sater for years, wrote Trump’s emails for him, and “has heard everything, and has taken good notes,” said Trump. And if he didn’t, Congress should.

Correct. More correct, it's done the U.S., & rest of the World damage that may never be known, because it has obstructed Potus realdonaldtrump ability to fully engage as leader of the free World....
So much wasted time and money, Outrageous. Trump could’ve got so much more done without this ball and chain witchhunt.
If was an attempt to unseat an elected president and it failed . Now it’s time to look into how this fake investigation started
Seriously? Like Iran Contra damaged Reagan? Mueller didn’t indict Trump and Pelosi won’t impeach. This is a Trump victory that will win him reelection. American justice is fucked. Oh, and Mueller is a Republican, there is that.
Make it public!!
Pretty sure that was the point.
