Fully exonerated? (From FB)

Trump will attempt to influence Barr's decision on releasing report?

Perhaps he already has?

The question is, how far will Barr go to appease him?

There is a definite conflict of interest between the two.

Barr wants everyone to believe that he is an independent actor.

Trump cannot help himself from interfering in any matter, legal or not, if he feels threatened. The way he mentioned "400" pages, he acts as if Mr Barr has already given him the report or a briefing on the report ?

Perhaps someone should ask him if has read the report?

After all, what is one more lie?

Is the stock market healthy or in a "bubble"?

What could cause the bubble to burst?

Or is it rainbows and blue skies for as far as we can see?

Chairman Nadler makes a very strong argument for release of the Mueller report to Congress.

It is true that the Special Counsel law requires the Special Counsel to turn over his report to the Attorney General.

It is also true that the Attorney General is part of the Executive Branch of Government.

It is a given that the Executive Branch cannot oversee itself. The Attorney General does not have the authority to make conclusions about an investigation by an independent Special Counsel that is investigating the Executive Branch, most specifically, the President. The most that an Attorney General can offer is recommendations to the Congress of his interpretation of the investigation.

It is the job of the Congress alone to administer oversight of the Executive Branch. Neither the President nor the Attorney General has the authority to withhold information of an independent investigation paid for by the people of the United States, as represented by the Congress.

Therefore, Congress has every right to see the Mueller report immediately - all of it. The Attorney General is part of the Executive Branch and is not authorized to withhold or redact information from the Congress.

It is time for the Congress to defend its power as granted by the Constitution.

We are going thru the process of a generational and cultural change.

The controversy about whether or not Joe Biden inappropriately touched and kissed Lucy Flores is real. We believe Lucy Flores when she says that she felt her space was invaded and Joe Biden touching her shoulders and kissing her on the head made her uncomfortable. There is no doubt but that she is honest and sincere in her comments.

It was not always the case where a woman would speak up about such actions. Both men and women have changed since the 1950's and '60's. The culture was very different. Boys and men were "expected" to act differently from girls and women. Young boys were expected to always take the initiative when asking a young girl out for a date. They were expected to lead the way in showing their emotions, such as "stealing a kiss". Young girls would never be aggressive in these relationships. They were usually very passive and followed the lead of their boyfriends. Sex was awkward and puritanical in many instances.

But times have changed. Many older men from those times still have that culture ingrained in them. They do not realize the degree of change that has taken place. But that does not excuse inappropriate actions or behaviors.

At the same time, we should not confuse some of these unintentional actions and behaviors with sexual assault or physical harm to a woman. It is a process that we, as a nation are going thru, and must deal with. Women have not yet reached the point where they are ready to tell men to stop what they are doing or that they are not comfortable with his actions. However, that is changing.

We do not want to minimize these behaviors but we also, do not want to equate them with abuse or sexual assault. The Al Franken "incident" comes to mind. We are in a process of cultural change.

Also, we now have an openly gay man running for President of the United States and doing quite well. It was not always the case. In the '50's, 60's, and later, he would have feared for his physical well-being. He would have been "in the closet". The thought of running for President would have never entered his mind.

But, that also, is part of our cultural and generational change. Unfortunately, we do not get to the end of the journey in just one day. It is a process and we must learn and appreciate the value of our experiences.

Could someone break down and diagram this sentence?

“[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”

I was mostly interested in "in its election interference activities.”

Did the investigation establish if anyone conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in "any other activities"??
