I have been reading the released report, as time allows. I'd recommend it to everyone--it is at very best an embarrassing look into the doings of the administration and the human waste which surrounds them. It is embarrassing to see how childish and petty these people can be. It also goes a long way in showing the absolute absence of integrity in trump and his camp followers. It is hard to imagine grown ups acting in the ways they do--and did.
The report is a certification of disgrace.

You needed a report to realize that? Politicians are the scum of the earth. All of them.

I have to chuckle a little today about the comments regarding the WH telling the Pentagon that they had to "hide" the destroyer John McCain so turmp would not see it when he was in Japan----that is absolutely grown-up action when comparing it to much of the Mueller Report.

There is a bottom line here.
It is a classic logic fallacy & impossibility to prove the negative or that something is not true, but if Mueller and his zealous band of 19 rabid HerSelf supporters imbued with unlimited funds, power, 2800 subpoenas, 500 witnesses to threaten & 675 days, etc., can’t find zip on the guy, what more do you need to understand the emptiness of the pursuit?
That’s about as close to “proving the negative,” which is as close to a logic impossibility, as it will ever get.

But a poll just out on Drudge predicts he will win in 2020. Do any of you think any running on the left can beat him?

I hope most Americans see that Trump lied when he said the Mueller Report exonerates him. In his press conference yesterday, Mueller pointed out he did NOT exonerate Trump.
Is Trump really in some alternate reality?

Without a doubt he lives in his own world...I sometimes wonder if the positive events that have occurred since he took office would have happened with him or without him, but considering the alternative we would have endured without his victory, I really doubt it...Like all previous Presidencies, the nation will survive after him, until the day it doesn't......Ben

The central charge (the “bottom line” I spoke of above) in this Trump anal exam is that he and/or his campaign conspired with the Russians to steal the election. My reading of the Mueller report finds zero, zip, nada to substantiate that charge after the most extensive investigation in the history of humankind manned by the most spring-loaded Trump-haters to be found who all had only the most urgent motives to find Trump wrongdoing and charge any crimes they found backed with an unlimited budget and timeline. Perhaps your extensive reading of the report found something I missed. Please educate us. That Trump is a scumbag or cad does not count...we knew that from the get-go. I want just one example of Trump throwing in with the evil Rooskies.

I was not talking about the possible Russian/trump conspiracy, rather my comments are a general response to the report.
That said there was obviously an interest in working with the Russians to aid the campaign. It failed to result in a defined agreement at least partially due to the ineptness of many of the players.
One of the things the report does is to document the breadth and depth of trump's lies---I will site the denials of a Russian project as a prime example of that.
