Vorg Posted April 18, 2019 #28 Share Posted April 18, 2019 No charges. Seems some didn't accept the outcome like they said they would. Which we knew beforehand. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted April 18, 2019 #29 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Downloaded the report. Will poke away at it as time allows. I did notice that the conclusion did not say the DOJ, or AG, or even Congress is who should decide the things left open. It only says they are still open due to lack of clear ruling, and due to the unknown motivations of Trump. So, to me, that seems if Trump can be quiet, they can't charge him. Same reason Clinton got off on so many charges. The FBI can't prove intent without an actual confession by the principle. Thanks Hillary! You got Trump off the hook.

aztek Posted April 18, 2019 #30 Share Posted April 18, 2019 lol, love the liberal media posting "the report did not exonerate trump" on almost every site. of course it did not, it was not aimed at that, the report supposed to prove his involvement which it miserably failed to do. he needs no exoneration, he is not charged with anything 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been one hell of a party. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofGardener Posted April 18, 2019 #32 Share Posted April 18, 2019 2 hours ago, ExpandMyMind said: Not quite. Less people believe that the campaign's countless contacts with Russians amount to a crime. And probably also less people from the other side believe that the campaign is exactly innocent (read: not the legal 'innocent') with their contacts with Russia. A bucketload more, after reading the relevant materials from the report, will now be without much doubt at all that Trump committed obstruction. Just like - two years ago - the liberals stated that "without much doubt" the Presidential Candidate colluded with the Russians. Except they where WRONG. So now they turn to "obstruction". But the report states that there is no proper proof of THIS either. they where WRONG about Collusion, and they are WRONG about obstruction. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The report says neither of those things. It says the burden of proof could not be reached with regards to conspiracy with the Russian government, and it lays out the numerous ways in which Trump obstructed justice and explained the reason they did not bring charges was purely because they view it as Congress's job to do that. Neither of those equate to 'Trump is innocent' and 'everyone else was WRONG'. At all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collusion is not a crime anyways, conspiracy is what it would have been and the threshold for proof beyond reasonable doubt was not met. Pretty obvious obstruction did occur. I hope the dems act on that evidence and bring articles of impeachment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaywalking, littering etc. The current liberal approach is NOT "The president has done something wrong... we will have to impeach him". The approach is "we MUST impeach the President.

Well the guy surrounds himself with criminals, he is not exactly a highly ethical moral character and that alone is reason enough to keep him under a microscope given the power he wields. If he is truly not doing anything wrong then he has nothing to worry about, but the guy has skirted laws and played in the grey areas of legality all his life, he should be thoroughly investigated because of that. And the right was doing the same exact thing with Hillary. How many times has your side investigated her and tried to prod the justice department to charger her with something, anything? The hypocrisy makes my head hurt. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imaginarynumber1 Posted April 18, 2019 #47 Share Posted April 18, 2019 You people are making claims as to what the report says when it literally says the opposite, and you claim it's the evil left that's twisting things.

CrimsonKing Posted April 18, 2019 #49 Share Posted April 18, 2019 @Tiggs From my understanding,there has to be a proven criminal act before "obstruction" can occure...no criminal act,no obstruction.

Setton Posted April 18, 2019 #50 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) 4 hours ago, joc said: Actually...doesn't the report say that there was no evidence of obstruction? yeah...I think it does. No, it doesn't... Quote "If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice,we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, however, we are unable to reach that judgment. The evidence we obtained about the Preside nt's a ctions and intent presents difficult issues that prevent us from conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred."
