Read the Mueller report

Pardon the brevity; submitted via my mobile phone.

[Update (20190418_203255 UTC) --martyb]

I was listening to the radio while running an errand when I heard the Mueller Report had been released. The above link was the first that came up when I did a search. I quickly posted the story using my mobile phone to get it to the community as quickly as possible. Here are additional sources as well as the MD5SUM and resultant file sizes from downloading each. The CNN file has a different size from the others. A quick inspection suggests that it contains searchable text (presumably through OCR (Optical Character Recognition) processing) whereas the others contain images of each of the pages in the report.

    There should never be presumption of guilt merely because innocence is claimed.

    I think obstruction must be a crime in and of itself. Otherwise, unlimited obstruction can be used with impunity. (Of course even with punishment, unlimited obstruction can be used.)

    The left likes to portray Trump as angry and unhinged -- because Trump gives off the impression all by himself. Merely pointing out the observation of how angry and unhinged he obviously is should not be considered some kind of conspiracy or deception.

    When I see for myself, without anybody telling me, how angry and especially unhinged he obviously is, and he is president, I find it shocking, and even frightening that Republicans cannot see this for themselves.

    If what you say is correct, its not obstruction. It's a pissed off innocent person venting. This is why Mueller had a hard time determining whether it was obstruction, and when Barr had to do his job and decided he decided (just like Comey did) to err on the side of no crime.

      Wrong. So very wrong.

      Venting is one thing, firing someone for performing an investigation is a completely different thing. Offering pardons to people is bribery/coercion in an attempt at obstruction. Threatening witnesses and their families is obstruction.

      It is time to give up on supporting Trump. Actually, it is well past time but this is becoming ridiculous levels of crazy to support him now.

          1. Trump's mouth
          2. Trump's mouth
          3. Trump's mouth and twitter

          Amazing how suddenly you conservatives are ALL ABOUT citations, but with Clinton's Emails and Benghazi OMGOMGOMG guilty all the way and won't even accept the investigative reports. Here we have Trump's investigation saying he is NOT exonerated, a metric shit-ton of evidence paired with criminal convictions and the special counsel saying that the convicted lied to hamper the investigation and a punting to congress / DOJ for actual indictments.

          He IS guilty of emoluments violations, foreign bribes "laundered" through his hotels, campaign finance violations and obstruction of justice. Whether he can be pinned for his traitorous collusion with foreign powers is almost a non-issue at this point since it is one of AT LEAST five easily verified crimes.

          There is no question about whether Trump is a criminal, just a question about how much corruption we are willing to tolerate. You are lied to daily, your chosen representatives are displaying the worst traits possible and making their partisan hackery so blindingly obvious. It is astounding the type of behavior you accept from him, but the answer is conservatives overall are so deluded about reality from Fox News propaganda that they think the bad things he does are secretly good things.

              There was no whataboutism, just pointing out your hypocrisy. Odd you would ask for a citation of your own statement :P

              If you are too lazy to investigate Trump's own videos and tweets that is on you. I guess Fox News doesn't play those ones huh?

            And, of course, lefties don't pick and choose which reports they want to believe. A report that makes Bush or Trump look bad is better than Gospel. A report that makes Obama or Hillary look bad is the work of Satan.

          You will never get citations for :
          - Trumps racist tweets
          - Offering pardons as bribery
          - Threatening US citizens.*
          - pretty much any other claim about horrible things the big orange clown says.

          I've asked several times and all you get is links to people saying he said those things. Or links to people saying other people saying he said those things. You will never get a primary source, and I've reluctantly come to the conclusion there isn't one. Pointing that out will get you modded troll or redundant.

          *outside the scope of his job. Threatening people is pretty much part of his job.

            Trump: they're rapists, murderers, very bad people. His addition of "some good people" was only to avoid heat for an obviously racist statrment. Muslim ban. Fuck you and your stupidity.

            He dangled pardons multiple times, told people to do illegal things and he'd pay their lawyer fees.

            He threatened Cohen's father (in law?) with investigation, he has committed stochastic terrorism many times, he frequently calls liberals evil and falsely accuses people, then he makes vague suggestions for his supporters to commit violence.

            I'm tired of idiots like you who ignore reality and then lie to push your pro-Trump agenda.

              Yet you and plenty of other AC's can tirelessly repeat that you are tired of providing proof without ever actually doing so. Trump's entire tweet history is online. It would have been quicker to provide a link to a racist tweet than to write out that post. Why don't you do that?
