Who else could have appointed the AG?

In any case, all I have heard is that Barr is an honest man. Casting innuendo at him that he is dishonest is low and mean.

Quote:Barr is certainly not falsifying his summary - the Mueller report definitely says that the Trump campaign did not conspire or collude with the Russian government as he quoted in his summary. But I want to see the analysis of all of the work the Mueller team put in and what exactly they found during their research. Same goes for the obstruction charges that the Mueller team was intentionally non-commital about. If anything, I’m most curious about why the Mueller team explicitly states their findings do not exonerate him.

Mueller was not noncommittal about collusion. He specifically says attempts wer made and rebuffed. That sounds like the TT meeting to me. If fact, I have said the salient fact was that nothing happened - no quid pro quo .

As for the obstruction Non-exoneration, I think it more important that they did not find any obstruction that they think they could have filed charges on - or they would have done so.

The Mueller investigation has helped cement the fact that the Russian government brazenly attempted to interfere with our elections, and did so in one route by reaching out repeatedly to one major campaign that never alerted the authorities and hacking the DNC

No need to reach out to the Democrats, because the Democrats were reaching out to them. #dossier #Ukraine #Fusion GPS

All we had heard of Comey was he was an honest man, but my guess is you haven’t had nice things to say about him, have you? Lol

My point is that Barr is not lying or misrepresenting the findings, but his short summary is just that - short. Imagine if all we knew from the OJ trial was that he wasn’t guilty of murder? Would that have told the entire story?

The voters might want more of the story, and that will come out in due course, but most people already have a pretty good idea of what Trump is and isn't.

Legally, OJ wasn't and isn't guilty of murder, according to that quaint and inconvenient document.

I took the word of all those who were saying that Comey was an honest man. I took the word of those who said Mueller is an honest man (although some on your side are changing their minds now). I take the word of all those who say and said that Barr is an honest man.

Some subsequent events have cast doubt on Comey. His special handling of Clinton and his public exoneration of her come to mind. The apparent rot at the top of the FBI comes to mind. Maybe we need an investigation into the FBI, starting with Comey, but including McCabe, Strzok, Page, and others, to clear the air of all that smoke. Maybe the IG's report will help clear things up.

I don't remember saying much about Comey, but since you are willing to indict me on a guess, why don't you look up some of the things I said about him?

yeah, legally OJ was not guilty of murder, and Trump is not guilty of obstruction, and you and I are not guilty of tax evasion.
