Trump says the Mueller report exonerates him, but that's not exactly true

President Donald Trump claimed"complete and total exoneration" on Sunday after Attorney General William Barr released a summary of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on his Russia investigation.

Barr writes that Mueller did not conclude whether Trump obstructed justice. The attorney general noted, though, that he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein"have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel's investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense."

That distinction has already emerged as one of the biggest points of contention over Barr's summary. Democrats have questioned how the attorney general arrived at that conclusion. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., has already said he wants to bring Barr in to testify. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Ca., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., also disputed Trump's notion claim that the report vindicated him.

Trump is a legend in his own mind. He is using the stupidity of most with his power of repetitive suggestion. He knows he is a fraudster. It's what makes it so easy to sell out his country. EVERYONE backing him should go to the 'TOMBS' along with him!

Yet he is going on a twitter storm but said nothing the three days before the release. Politics in this country and the behavior of those in power is laughable.

Really bugs you guys that this liberal narrative is no longer available. Time to search for some real news

Mueller failed on his role as prosecutor. The determination should not have been left to the AG. Since there was no crime there was obstruction.

Report the exact words used. No Collusion. No Conspiracy. No Probable cause for Obstruction. Mueller deferred to Barr to confirm the lack of evidence for Obstruction. Barr and Rosenstein agreed no evidence of Obstruction. is corrupt,dishonest and FakeNews.

to exonerate someone is to declare him not guilty of criminal charges. So, no specific criminal charges directly to him were none. So, Mr.Trump should not be push by CNBC false or misleading/re-direction whatever. By saying that you confirm Mueller is a fraud also.CNBC?

As the iconic Dr Steven Brule, might say in this event, 'so what did we learn today? In this case it is not illegal to lie'

How exactly do you prove that something didn't happen ever. Please leave the bullshit to your kissing cousins on MSNBC

Yea it does..

Mueller had 2 1/2 years to decide.. In the end there was no evidence.. Barr merely agreed with Mueller.. The hoax is over..

Can we maybe stop looking in the rearview mirror for a while & concentrate on the road?

Y’all love to piss off the Trump supporters and I love every second of it. 😂😂😂 it’s only a matter of time

CNBC STOP IT ITS OVER....

Because 'exoneration' is not applicable in prosecutorial investigations. You either find enough evidence to go with prosecution or not. Exoneration is after a trial and the accused is found innocent. Can we please stop with the word salad on this?

this idiot has a list a mile long for vile, contemptuous acts and just because this isn't one of them doesn't disqualify him from total Corruption!!

Something about counting eggs before they hatch. easterbunny

What will you write about now?

But the A.G. did complete vindication

He is so Kool aid Orange tho.

He is so Kool aid orange

I'm not done yet Mr. President

Here we go again! Enough! We got it - without your creative interpretation

It doesnt convict him neither Unlike the luny lying lefitists that are a proven blight on America's future

Mueller isn't exonerated either…

so is suggesting anytime a prosecutor says there is not enough evidence to make charges that the accused is still guilty ? do you people even grasp what Mueller's job was ?

On obstruction which is ridiculous. That was mueller. Rose stein the head of the probe concluded no. He never stopped them once.

NoObstruction nocollusion

Really ur still at it.?.?.?

Barr wrote those words.

It specifically exonerated him on colluding or attempting to collude with the Russians, which is what he has consistently claimed he didn't do from day 1!
