The attorney general has sent his conclusions about the Mueller report to Congress and apparently to the entire world since the letter is public.
Most interesting is this sentence from Mueller’s report that is quoted in Attorney General Barr’s letter regarding obstruction of justice:
“While this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”
Those are weasel words intended to leave a cloud over President Trump. They are the words that the left-wing media are seizing upon, and which Congress will use to continue to harass this president. Shame on Bob Mueller. In our system of law, you are assumed innocent until proven guilty. If Mueller didn’t have evidence of Trump’s guilt (and he obviously doesn’t) then he should be clear that it means Trump is not under suspicion of a crime. You can’t prove a negative, but lack of evidence in our system means you are not guilty. Period.
Fortunately, Barr and Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein “have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel’s investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense.”
Praise the lord! Will wonders never cease?!? Even with the entire power of the Deep State arrayed against him, TRUMP WINS!!!
The incontrovertible good news is that, according to Barr, “The Special Counsel’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.”
That is what the probe was supposed to be about in the first place, and the bottom line is that Trump didn’t do what the Democrats and Fake News have been claiming he did for the past 2-plus years. I’d call that vindication, plain and simple.

Who wins? (President) Trump wins? No. We win. All of us win.
Today we had a discussion about what would have to happen if we made a real, genuine, honest win in the United States. Looks like that would require changing hundreds of thousands of minds.
Could that be done?
The Mueller report is a cowardly report in that the job of all prosecutors is to search the evidence and make a decision as to its efficacy in rising to the level for an indictment. He is paid and obligated to make only that decision, not to exonerate nor to have another body make the decision as to ‘yes’ it does, or ‘no’ it does not. It appears the evidence does not; and, therefore Muller should have made the decision.
Now, the question becomes was that to leave a taint upon Trump and open the gates to another two years of seditious activity by the Democrats? This sentence by Frank says it all: “You can’t prove a negative, but lack of evidence in our system means you are not guilty. Period.” RLS
Bingo!
