Could Democrats Be Disappointed By Mueller’s Testimony? | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC

  1. Two simple questions.

    #1. Mr Mueller, does your report in any way say “No Collusion”?

    #2. Mr Mueller, does your report in any way say “No Obstruction”?

    1. @NPC#8675309 Exactly, the investigation did not establish an answer on collusion. That doesn’t mean yes but it also doesn’t mean no.

    2. Trumpocalypse
      Mueller was unable to conclude collusion happened. He’s gonna say it front in center tomorrow

    3. @NPC#8675309 –
      *#1.* The Mueller Report states with great emphasis that the 2016 US Presidential election was significantly and systematically attacked and interfered with by Russian intelligence, with the express purpose of benefiting Donald Trump.

      *#2.* The report makes no comment on the subject of collusion as collusion is not a defined federal crime. At *no point* does it say “No collusion.” It does however detail over 120 contacts, connections, communications and meetings between members of Trump’s business interests and Presidential campaign with members or associates of Russian intelligence. In these meetings confidential election information was discussed, as well as Trump’s business interests; policy proposals beneficial to Russian interests were also discussed. And these meetings and communications were outside normal secure diplomatic channels, and when questioned on these matters, those involved either refused to answer or outright *lied.*

      *That. Is. Collusion.*

      And while the report could not find enough evidence to prosecute a case in actual criminal conspiracy on specific crimes (for example, the hacking of Hilary Clinton’s emails) it concluded that although the Trump campaign was fully aware of Russian election interference, it refused to inform the relevant authorities of their Russian connections and meetings and fully expected to *gain* from this interference.

      Once again: *That. Is. Collusion.*

      *#3.* The report details over 10 incidents of clear Obstruction of Justice on the part of members of the Trump campaign, government and President Donald Trump himself. The investigation declined to prosecute due to DOJ restrictions on the prosecution of a sitting president. However, had Donald Trump been a private citizen he would be fully charged with Obstruction of Justice; these charges still await him once he leaves office.

      In any normal administration the Mueller Report would effectively be a Death Sentence. Instead, in the Reality TV/Twitter Presidency, Donald Trump – with the assistance of his appointed Attorney General, William Barr – have obscured the facts and flat out lied to the American people, and basically wagged the dog with the news media to bury this story.

    1. Idylchatter
      There’s no Russian anything, kunt, maybe you’re just a demonspawn fukkpuppet

  2. Trump was briefed on Jan 6, 2017 with the conclusion Russia intervened in the election. He told Lavrov and Kislyak, he gets the best Intel and he took the pressure off by firing Comey.

  3. I don’t get it. How can Mueller insist not to go beyond what is written in the report? I would assume that it is part of the oversight to get answers about DOJ possible intervention or restrictions

  4. The FBI had C Steele working for them..they let him go. But they continued to work with Steele..
    remember Fussion GPS and the Ohrs..

  5. It’s like go back to kitten videos, the adults are talking MSNBC.
    🤡
    RUssIAn COLusIoN mommy?
    Aaaahahahahhaha aahahhahaahahhahahahahaaa

    1. @LAST CALL : When all your conspiracy theories don’t come true, you’re going to be very sad. The question is, will you stop believing conspiracy theories as a result? I predict that you won’t.

  6. This isn’t Dems vs Repubs ~ it’s good vs evil ~ some of each in both camps
    JFK tried to begin to do what Mr. Trump is doing but the Shadow Gov, murdered him before he could begin.

  7. Jerry nadler lied again he said the American people are not done with this well 21% of Americans say therefore impeachment, now that’s the same 21% that what p MSNBC the rest are done with it , Congress must move on or be replaced things like making health insurance cheaper there are things they can do today to help families out and they can make meds cheaper to

  8. *If Mueller simply sits there and reads his entire report out loud for 5 hours, then there is no way that anyone could be disappointed.* The whole point of this is to get the American people to listen to what is contained within the Mueller report. Once they hear it, from Mueller’s own lips, public opinion will definitely swing even further against Trump and the 2020 election will be a done deal for the Dems.

  9. nothing will come from mueller’s testimony. if there was any chance that trump could lose his presidency from mueller’s testimony, it wouldn’t be happening. the W H would find a way to stop it. the world is in for a big let-down.

  10. MSNBC has egg on their face and acts like a loose woman who wipes her face and say to themselves I did no wrong.
