What hold does Russia have over Trump?

Anything new..... impeachment in the horizon....are we approaching 2 years now???

 

Patience Grasshopper - the probe that found absolutely nothing on Hillary took longer. Mueller's already been sidetracked on several occasions with dozens on indictments and several convictions. And - as we found with the Kavanaugh sham - to do a proper investigation takes time

As for when - he will be releasing to Rodstein after the mid-terms as is not permitted to do so beforehand. Rodstein has already saidd that there is evidence of is widespread meddling but he is under no obligation to release the findings to anyone in government or to make them public ... but not to do so would smack of guilt.

Rod Rosenstein says the Russia probe has uncovered a widespread Russian effort to meddle in the 2016 race

Considering Mueller just spent 50 hours interviewing Cohen - might be a whole new raft of leads to follow

 

Let's see the spin each side places on this news?

Mueller report a victory for Trump but denies Americans the closure they needed

New York: Special Counsel Robert Mueller's verdict that there was no collusion between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia has delivered the US President one of the best days of his presidency.

What hold does Russia have over Trump? - .........nothing............

 

Trump should get on with building the wall now...

 

Trump will now begin investigating the russian collusion with Democrats efforts to stop Trump winning the election.
This failed special councel was the "insurance policy" if he did win, but it's not revealed anything other than a false document upon which this investigation was predicated on, the Russian dossier which is total BS.
Clinton, Muller, Strok, Comey shaking in their boots.
This is the swamp Big Donny referred to in his inaugural that he would "drain".

Democrats have nothing to stand on for the next election other than to further attempt to discredit Trump. Unless you call a bunch of mad "socialists" and their agendas as being something worth voting for, Id say they are shot and set to endure another loss.

Meanwhile, Trump advances his promises of financial recovery, making America great again and stopping the massive inflow if illegal immigration.

he has stood there for nearly 3 years now taking punch by punch below the belt, firing a few back but continues to never go down for the count.
Thats a resolve that is frustrating the left causing them to go out of their minds.

Its very entertaining. I get the feeling that most Americans are sick of the left and just want their freedom from big Govt again.

 

Yes, you can throw in an off topic statement as bolded above, but from memory none of these crimes involved collusion, back on topic this was in Mullers report,

Quoting directly from Mueller's report - which has not been released publicly - Barr writes: "The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."

 

But not only Trump but all members of the Trump Campaign were cleared of collusion, a point you have avoided.

New York: Special Counsel Robert Mueller's verdict that there was no collusion between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia has delivered the US President one of the best days of his presidency.

 

So, what is not being exonerated going to do?
Big fat nothing burger.

What are they going to do about it? There is no proof of any wrongdoing by Trump.

Now lets focus on Clinton for awhile. Plenty wrongdoing there but Comey decided to let her off with destroying thousands of emails on her private server. Like Trump said, maybe ask Russia where they went?

 

We could but I wont waste my time, 29 pages of,

What hold does Russia have over Trump?

Muller has now exonerated Trump of collusion and any evidence that Russia has a hold over Trump seems to be sadly lacking.

 

Actually Mueller hasn't - unless you've had special access to the Mueller report that no one other than Barr has had.

Read Attorney General William Barr’s Summary of the Mueller Report

Methinks to much is read into Trump's tweet. Perhaps everyone needs to read the summary itself, rather than simply Trump's grandiose tweets - although the summary is barely two pages long once you take out all the riff raff. Mueller has apparently said he has no irrefutable evidence - not that Trump and/or his associates is innocent (my words).

How about you wait until it is learnt what the full report actually contains - rather than a cobbled together summary from a Trump nominated AG that contains not a single full sentence quote from Mueller.

As for those around him, and connected to his campaign that have been found guilty ... you've got - Manafort; Cohen; Stone; Kilimnik; Pattern; Gates; Papadopolous; and Flynn

Not a small number of associates which indicates the central figure may not be as squeaky clean as you all claim.

But glad the air has been cleared and we can now watch the other 17 State and Federal court cases against Trump regarding money laundering, campaign funds misappropriated and the dozen other serious issues

 

Clinton was investigated for years - at great expense - and subjected to numerous hours of questioning (something Trump has refused to do) - and nothing was found.

How about you focus on Kushner and Ivanka using their private emails and public mobile phone apps instead of beating the same worn out and broken drum

 

"Each time he (William Barr) quoted the Mueller report, he cherry picked sentence fragments, and never did include a complete sentence. In other words, he clearly took those fragments out of context. His only reason to chop up Mueller’s words so finely would be to try to alter their meaning."

Which is why I will hold my opinion until the report is released into unbiased hands ... Those who have nothing to hide, hide nothing

 

Regarding obstruction (from Barr's short summary):

"The Special Counsel therefore did not draw a conclusion - one way or the other – as to whether the examined conduct constituted obstruction. Instead, for each of the relevant actions investigated, the report sets out evidence on both sides of the question and leaves unresolved what the Special Counsel views as “difficult issues” of law and fact concerning whether the President's actions and intent could be viewed as obstruction. The Special Counsel states that “while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

The Special Counsel's decision to describe the facts of his obstruction investigation without reaching any legal conclusions leaves it to the Attorney General to determine whether the conduct described in the report constitutes a crime.

Generally speaking, to obtain and sustain an obstruction conviction, the government would need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a person, acting with corrupt intent, engaged in obstructive conduct with a sufficient nexus to a pending or contemplated proceeding"

Interestingly - the summary is barely two pages once one takes out the list of receivers and Barr's personal comments regarding the actions of the AG. Wonder what Mueller's other thousand-odd pages of information contains

 

I think there is too much focus on exonerated or not exonerated. Maybe lets go back to basics in criminal law, guilty or innocent (which is where the next stage would have lead to). Are those found innocent usually called "could not be proven you were guilty" or is it simply "innocent"?

 

Don’t like Trump. But think there is too much of he said , she said scenarios. He is either guilty or not. Seems to be it’s the later. Just because the report narrative doesn’t fit our dislike (or like) of the person doesn’t change the fact that he seems to be clear.

 

That was my initial thought too - innocent until proven guilty.

Doesn't mean is actually innocent - simply means there is not irrefutable evidence
