In reply to the discussion: Mueller Finds No Trump-Russia Conspiracy but Stops Short of Exonerating President on Obstruction of [View all]DeminPennswoods
(15,295 posts)22. Trump support and opposition is baked in
The SCO investigation was never going to change that. Dems were elected to control the House to check Trump, not because Russia helped him win, but because Trump's policies are a complete non-starter with the majority of Americans.
Trump might not be a traitor, but Dem investigations are going to show he's a garden variety crook and grifter who surrounds himself with crooks and grifters only in it to enrich themselves.
Nadler and Schiff are going to get all the underlying evidence that Mueller uncovered, hold hearings about it and then Americans will decide.
Frankly, I'm glad this summary has been released and we can move on to talking about real policy and the direction the country is headed.

Well, at least these things were neutrally investigated by a top investigator.

Here is the problem. Republican investigating Republican. Seems it was a white wash from the start

AG Barr, Trump appointee, says Trump did not obstruct justice. MUELLER NEVER DID.

So, I'll have to assume that Gates, Flynn, et all, actually gave Mueller nothing.
