BREAKING: Special Counsel Robert Muelller will NOT recommend any new prosecutions as he hands his report on Trump and Russia to Attorney General Bill Barr and Congress might learn his ‘principal conclusions’ THIS WEEKEND

Mueller delivered a long-awaited report Friday to Attorney General Bill Barr, opening up the possibility that key members of Congress could know its bottom line by the end of the weekend.
But a senior Justice Department official said Friday that there will be no more indictments filed with federal courts, meaning the president, his inner circle of present and former confidants and his family members are out of immediate legal jeopardy.

And the biggest pelts on Mueller's wall will remain former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his deputy Rick Gates, along with former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen and former National Security Advisor Gen. Michael Flynn.

President Donald Trump's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, said he and the president's other lawyers 'are confident that there is no finding of collusion by the president.'

The news of Mueller's final official actions swept through Washington in the flash of thousands of tweets just before 5:00 p.m. Friday, launching a political battle over what's in the report and how much will be made public.

The Justice Department notified leaders of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees before announcing the end of a 22-month-long saga focused on still-unproven allegations that Trump's 2016 campaign colluded with agents of Russia to improve his chances in the election.

Democrats demand Barr publish declassified Mueller report 'swiftly' and let Congress see ALL the evidence as senator says there is a ‘high probability’ of more indictments — including Trump family members.

'Attorney General Barr must not give President Trump, his lawyers or his staff any 'sneak preview' of Special Counsel Mueller's findings or evidence, and the White House must not be allowed to interfere in decisions about what parts of those findings or evidence are made public,' the leaders said.

'The American people have a right to the truth. The watchword is transparency,' they said.
Speaking to reporters Friday, Schumer said: 'The American people have a right to the truth. The watchword is transparency.'

anyone with Collusion or any other connected crimes to Russia people still believe that Trump and Vlad colluded to win the election. No facts in evidence? Tuff! I still believe that it happened just the way we've been told it did.

Love the irony here:

Amen, Druid13! I’m so confident that at a minimum NY state will sieze all Trump’s assets and throw the major players in jail. Wouldn’t be surprised if state indictments come tonight or Monday after what happened with manafort. At least we still believe in good guys winning. Smile

@snoopydawg
to delegitimize a Presidency is based on a lie. And there’s no doubt that the ‘Dossier’ was pure BS from the start. That part about Trump having prostitutes pee all over a hotel room mattress because the Empty Suit and his wife slept there was a bit much.

I’ve always wondered what kind of a crazy person came up with that one.

First Lawsuit Filed Seeking To Make Mueller Report Public; Congress To See Conclusions This Weekend

Less than two hours after the release of the Mueller report, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit has been filed against the Department of Justice by the Electronic Privacy Information Center seeking its public release.

“The public has a right to know the full scope of Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election and whether the President of the United States played any role in such interference,” the government transparency advocacy group wrote in the lawsuit in DC federal court. “The public also has a right to know whether the President unlawfully obstructed any investigation into Russian election interference or related matters. The requested records are vital to the public’s understanding of these issues and to the integrity of the political system of the United States.” -CNN

It's definitely decided that Russia did interfere with the election even though no one has shown exactly how they did that. This really couldn't be much interference if Hillary got 3 million more votes than Trump did now could it? Maybe the better explanation for why she lost those 3 states is because she didn't campaign there even though her staff were telling her that she needed to.

So let's review what happened during these two long years. Mueller indicated 13 Russians and 3 companies for placing about $100,000 worth of ads on Facebook that apparently had more effect on people's decision to who they were going to vote for then Hillary's $2 billion campaign. When one of the company's lawyers asked to see the evidence Mueller had he said that showing it to them risked national security.

Mueller indicted 12 Russian military officers who apparently hacked the DNC computers and who will never see the inside of a US courtroom.

Not sure who charged that Russian student who is accused of committing lobbying fraud or something with the NRA and apparently helped the NRA give lots of money to republicans who are now being blackmailed by Russia and that's why they are covering for Trump.

Regardless that not one person has been charged for Collusion it still happened even though Obama stated that he did not see any evidence that it did.

Good grief.., this crap isn't over by a long shot.

Mueller has stated that no more indictments are being considered. This just proves what I said above. People are not going to accept this ending.

@gjohnsit

And like I've said there are real things that he could be charged with, but democrats aren't interested in doing that. War crimes and the emoluments clause being two of them, but we don't hold war criminals accountable.

The report states that Mueller isn't holding anymore indictments, but people are still thinking it's just a matter of time before democrats do something that gets him out. Nancy has said from the beginning that she is not interested in impeachment, but people still think she's going to do it.

@snoopydawg with stuff they all are doing. That is the problem for them. They all are corrupt as hell. Meanwhile, if you want collusion with Russia, look no further than HER, starting with Uranium One and moving into the Steele dossier. There is so much veriable information there, but they refuse to go there.

For me, what this entire thing is doing is exposing the tip of the iceberg of corruption in Washington DC. Now if someone will actually do something about the real and chargeable offenses that we already know of.

This is the inevitable conclusion of coming up with a lie to excuse away losing to Elmer Gantry.

The Democrats absolutely deserve to be roasted for this sham.

Ain't that the truth? Russia Gaters are going to have to go through the 5 steps of grief. They are on their first step. Denial. Chris Hayes just tweeted that we have watched for two years how Trump colluded with Vlad to win the election. This is going to be spun so many ways.
