In the days to come, it is essential that Congress hear directly from the special counsel regarding his investigation. The Senate Intelligence Committee continues its own investigation, and I expect to receive a full briefing, an unredacted report, and all the materials underlying the special counsel’s findings.”

    But we knew they were going to say that even before they saw the report. Heck they WERE saying it. That is why they demanded the report.

    If a politician can't find SOMETHING in 400 pages to support their views, no matter what they are, then they need to retire. Eisogesis works in politics as well as the bible.

And as it turns out, it would appear the only reason Trump did not get accused of obstruction was because his staff kept him from doing it by refusing his orders.

        This does not translate into an 'exoneration' of the President. To the contrary, it shows that President trump thinks nothing of breaking the law, which is exactly why investigations into him will continue probably throughout his presidency.

        So, we've totally abandoned "collusion" and moved on to "obstruction", which wouldn't exist had there been no attempt to frame him for "collusion".
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          Just sayin'.
          Speaking of trusting politicians, has Adam Schiff released the "proof" he keeps claiming to have?

Mueller himself says in the report that "In this investigation, the evidence does not establish that the President was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference," so every action taken by Trump with regards to the investigation must necessarily be seen as the actions of an innocent man.

              ^That. Invent charges, then when they complain about the made-up charges they can call it "obstruction." Nice bit of boot-strapping going on there.

                It's like, many years ago, we had a prisoner break out of jail to prove his innocence, because he had been framed by a dirty cop and nobody would believe him. When he was able to prove his case, the prosecutor demanded that he be locked up again for escaping prison.

                The judge asked the prosecutor "how much time do you think he should serve for that?"

                The prosecutor said, "at LEAST 5 years!", to which the judge replied "Bailiff, arrest the prosecutor and take him to jail for 5 years!" (he was just proving a point, of course, but it really got the prosecutor all excited!)

                  The LA times has in interesting picture of all the pages laid out to show the amount of redaction.

                      Here's a decent explanation of How to understand the redactions in the Mueller report.

                        Over on ABC George Stephanopoulos decried all of the redactions in the report only to be corrected by both his experts who told him that the number was surprisingly small. Clearly crestfallen (he probably had a tirade all planned out) Stephanopoulos quickly changed the subject.

                            I am sure you could afford just a little more respect for the House Judiciary Committee Chairman, Mr Jerry (not Nutty) Nadler. Thank you.

                            How come you’ve gone all undignified? I hope you’re not smoking pot.

                                I'll try to be more respectful to the Nutty Nadler.

                                Gone?
