Mueller Delivers Report on Russia to Attorney General

Robert Mueller has turned in his report on Russia. What's in it? No one knows. Attorney General Robert Barr says he will update Congress this weekend.

Since there have been no announcements of new arrests, I assume D.Jr. skated on charges of lying to Congress. As soon as Trump announced it's okay with him if Mueller's report gets released, I figured that would be the anti-climatic ending.

    The the Mueller "report" was not the biggest threat to the Trump mob.  Mueller was very smart to keep his report, it appears now, very tightly focused on the task he was given.  

    But it also allowed him to look at "any other crimes" arising from that.  So very shrewdly he has been passing off the most explosive charges to various prosecutors.  

    If Mueller subpoenaed DJTJ or other family members Trump would have done what's necessary to end the Mueller enterprise.  If the SDNY does it he has far fewer options.  And few we still if it state or city prosecutors.

    IMO anyone who think this means anything is over is in denial

    at completely different ends of possibilities.

    I have seen peeps say Mueller's report will be 400-500 pages long while others claim it will be bare bones and quite short.

    Problem is that a lot of what Mueller did was grand jury stuff which by law is quite hard to make public.  Some folks are saying 80%+ is grand jury related.  Not to mention legit classified stuff and any legit privilege stuff Trump might claim (not saying he can claim it for every thing but there might be some legit).

    In addition to that Barr may limit what can be released for what he considers legit reasons.

    Bottom line is that does not leave a lot to be released.

    While I have seen lots of pix of Mueller there are very few vids of him talking.  Not sure just what, or how much, he would say testifying before congress.

    One big take away will be what Mueller says, or does not say, about Cohen.  A lot of the House investigations are based on what Cohen has said.  But Mueller never really seemed to have much interest in him and sent him to 2NDNY for some obvious crimes related to shady money deals and then seemed to let him plea to some stuff with marginal proof compared to his obvious taxi and loan crimes.

    Maybe someone like Peter G can answer this.  Mueller is suppose to justify the charges and to a lesser extent explain why some peeps were not charged.  Question is what is Mueller required to say about peeps he asked 2NDNY to charge like Cohen, or peeps he maybe did not ask 2NDNY to charge, maybe like some Trump family members.

    Since there does not seem to be an underlying crime by Trump can he be charged with obstruction.  Seems the dems are saying yea and the pubs no.

    Lets assume for the sake of argument Trump committed no underlying crime; can he be charged with obstruction.

    or impede the due administration of justice (which is how the federal criminal statute reads) as long as the target of the alleged obstruction is an existing, legitimate investigation within the jurisdiction of a federal court or grand jury. Which the Mueller investigation most certainly was. And there are other statutes that reach attempts to influence or impede agency investigations (such as an FBI investigation prior to the convening of a grand jury).

    The most interesting question.  From the letter we seem to know Mueller decided there was not a case t be made for conspiracy.

    He DID NOT make that decision about obstruction.  

    The question becomes, was his intent to leave that decision up to the House.  As has been past experience.  Ken Starr did not leave that decision up to Janet Reno.  Walsh did not leave it up to Mitchell.  

    It appears Barr decided on his own to make that decision.  What if anything will Mueller say about that.

    But yes, tripe I would say.

    Why have all these people gone to jail for lying if there was "nothing to obstruct"

    Leaving aside all the stuff that's happening elsewhere I think this is far from over.  And for me the biggest question is why, after being appointed to make a non political decision that the whole country could have faith in, Mueller did exactly the opposite.  

    Was that his choice?  Will we ever know?

    ... the underlying crime itself, you can nevertheless be indicted for obstruction of justice, among other things, if you are clearly so concerned about the subsequent investigation -- regardless of your personal motive or rationale -- that you endeavor to mislead and / or misdirect said investigation by:
    • Withholding, manufacturing, misrepresenting or otherwise tampering with evidence;
    • Interfering with efforts by investigators to perform their official duties;
    • Lying to an officer of the law under direct questioning; or
    • Lying under oath during a legal deposition, grand jury proceeding or criminal trial.

    You are also guilty of obstruction if you exert an inappropriate and undue personal influence upon law enforcement personnel or the Court, e.g., offering a bribe to an LEO, in an effort to deflect, impede, forestall or terminate an otherwise legitimate line of public inquiry, or if you abuse your position as a government official by misusing the powers of your office to do the same.

    And depending upon the circumstances and the evidence against you regarding your own actions, you may further be vulnerable to additional charges of public corruption and / or being accessory to that crime after the fact.

    Manafort originally agreed to cooperate in the core investigation, with a plea agreement that included pleading to at least some of the offenses for which he was eventually convicted. When he reneged on the agreement, the Mueller team proceeded to prosecute him for those and other offenses, as his agreement said they could in that situation. At least, that's how I understand it.

    And, a dereliction of journalistic duty.  No explanation of the differences between the Independent Counsel (which was allowed to expire in 1999) and the Special Counsel, appointed by the Trump Attorney General (or Deputy, in case of recusal) with the report, considered confidential, to go to the Trump AG and a bare bones notification to Congress.  The public's information is up to the AG.  

    Much was made over the past two years about Congress protecting the Special Counsel, when, of equal concern, should have been the public dissemination of the report.

    It was for this reason that I have felt that the Special Counsel should have provided public information, including explanations of indictments, along the way. Most believed the silence of Mueller to be a great virtue--he speaks through his indictments, as interpreted by TV attorneys.  That should be enough. Just you wait.

    Now the Mueller Report, essentially, joins the Trump tax returns.  Both under "audit" and kept safely in Putin's storage locker, to be released the day after Melania's promised press conference on her immigration story.  

    Mueller's charge was to investigate---investigate any links/coordination between Russian government and individuals associated with Trump's campaign and matters that arose from such investigation. An appointment necessitated because of conflicts of interest in the DOJ, including the required recusal of AG Sessions, who lied to the Senate on Russian interactions.

    Was it OK for Trump to fire the  FBI director in order to obstruct an investigation into himself, confirming to Lester Holt on TV as well as to get rid of that "nut job" to ease the pressure as told to Sergey Kislyak and Sergey Lavorov in a weird Oval Office meeting, held without US media but reported by Russian media.

    And, of course, repeatedly threatening to fire Sessions for recusing himself rather than protecting him like a common Roy Cohn. And, Mueller, himself, we where led to believe, was in jeopardy. To top it off, there was the dangling of pardons to potential investigative witnesses against him. Some would see a pattern here.

    Mueller could draw no conclusions whether or not his two-year long investigation was obstructed. Rather, he left it to Trump's  AG to determine this over a weekend.  Barr's appointment, with his audition letter might even be, itself, an obstructive step.

     Mueller's need not have entered the DOJ fray of whether or not a president can be indicted. But, he was in the best position to determine if his investigation was corruptly thwarted.  Indictment,  could have been recommended, letting Barr deal with what to do about that.  Mueller has been a part of the hoodwinking of Americans.

    by CaptHowdy on Wed Mar 27, 2019 at 04:13:12 PM EST
    Andrew Napolitano said on Wednesday that special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation report is 700 pages long.

    During an interview with Fox Business host Neil Cavuto, Napolitano speculated that far more was in the report than Attorney General William Barr's summary to Congress has implied.

    "We saw on Sunday a four-page summary of a 700-page report," Napolitano explained. "The 700-page report is a summary of two million pages of documents, of raw evidence."

    The analyst went on to insist that the report "undoubtedly" details "some evidence of a conspiracy and some evidence of obstruction" by President Donald Trump.

    "In the 700-page summary of the two million pages of raw evidence, there is undoubtedly some evidence of a conspiracy and some evidence of obstruction of justice, just not enough evidence -- I'm thinking the way I believe Congressman [Adam] Schiff is thinking -- according to Attorney General Barr, not enough evidence to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the standard," Napolitano said.
