"The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities"

Your quotation is from Barr, not directly from the Mueller report - true?

This is why the House Intelligence Committee has a need and a right to see Mueller's unredacted report (committee all have top secret clearance that Trump cannot remove) as part of their government oversight duty and responsibilities.

False. That quote is literally muellers own words and Barr quoted him several times in his letter.

[Longcut]

I want the full report,

plus the false testimony that was given to the Grand Jury from the "so-called", witnesses. Then I want indictments for those that gave false testimony and have them tried, convicted and sentenced to the fullest extent of the law.

 Sorry ! I made sure of it!  It is Muellers quote ! Thanks Thainesss

The folks who want the “whole report” released obviously know little about U.S. law governing this subject. Among many other things, anything related to the grand jury hearings is completely confidential and must be redacted. There are host of other reasons for some of the report not to be released to the general public. To say Trump is winging about this hasn’t been following this subject very closely. Russia, Russia, Russia. Baloney! Get a life folks, there is a lot more important stuff going on out there that needs our attention rather than sniffing around a 300 page for a few misplaced colons and yelling that Trump did it.

I don't know where the US lost the concept of the Government by the People, For the People - but those in power think the government is by the government for the government - and screw the people.

Yes - it needs to be published in it's entirety unredacted.

I think he’s referring to the perjury committed by Trump’s team in their efforts to hide the truth.

LOL literally every major network is in agreement on this fact. You’re the only tinfoil hatter trying to deny it. Even Vox is in agreement. 

 

Here, complete with leftwing commentary:

 

Here are the actual quotes from Mueller’s report in Bill Barr’s summary

Weird. You constantly push to cease commentary with the reasoning that “we don’t know what’s in the report” yet here’s you making completely unfounded claims. 

 

Hypocrisy.

Sessions was forced to recuse himself for committing perjury.

 

Fact!

 

Cohen pled guilty to

Perjury before Congress.

 

Fact!

 

A number of Trump’s team repeated the same statements under oath before Congress for which Cohen was found guilty.

 

Fact!

 

 

[Paradise Pete]

When Clinton was investigated by Kenneth Starr the report was made public. I cannot imagine that a four-page summary from Janet Reno would have sufficed. Instead the House voted overwhelmingly (363–63) to release the report.

You are clearly getting upset. Maybe you should take a break from the internet for a while. 

 

But if not;

 

Sessions never committed “perjury” that’s a lie, and Cohens crimes are not anyone’s but his.

This isn’t even a thing needing to be talked about. The report will be published mid April, last I read.

I disagree, I haven't found anything in that Special Counsel statues that gives Congress the right to change something mid stream.  Subpoena,  away

 

Special Counsel regulations regulate the function of the Special Counsel. They do not strip the Congress and the Courts of the powers they derive from the people.

 

When it says the Attorney General is not mandated to perform an action--that he does not have to by his own volition perform whether he is trying to protect, say, the president by convenience, or even the public by his determination of what might be in the public good, about which he is acknowledged free to make that call at that time and upon what he does so voluntarily but not unchecked--that does not say that the Attorney General can not be compelled to perform either by his own conscience were he not complicit nor be compelled by law to perform per instruction of Congress or order of the Courts.

 

That you haven't found anything in a no trespassing sign that doesn't say you can't shoot my dog on my property from your position on the street does not give you permission to merely not trespass. For not only can you not trespass per the posted regulation, but by other laws you also can be compelled in subpoena by the American Congress and Courts to produce in full the Mueller report.

 

It's called Democracy.

Why bother to have Special Counsel rules and regulations if Congress can make the rules up as they go along especially a Congress that has a agenda to circumvent the laws on the books. 

Before 1999 there was R & R for a Independant council that expired! Currently they have morphed into the present R&R.

The Independent Council(Starr) at that time was obligated to make the entire report available to the Congress.But it has changed  and made it that the Special Council report only to the AG,Bill Barr makes the report from Muellers .

"Whereas the old rules required that the independent counsel tell Congress about “substantial and credible information that an impeachable offense may have been committed,” the new rules are much more narrow: The special counsel’s office, in its report, need only explain to the attorney general its prosecution or declination decisions. In other words, Mueller’s “solemn obligation is not to produce a public report,” Starr wrote for The Atlantic earlier this month. “He cannot seek an indictment. And he must remain quiet.”

The People are not in need of political appointees to decide what they, The People, may or may not see.

Kenneth Starr was operating under the Independent Counsel Act, which has long since expired. Barr must follow standard Justice Department Policy which is far more limiting. It will come out eventually, but we already have the important part. Trump has been exonerated of the accusations against him and if Barr had misrepresented the report's contents in any way we all know Mueller and his team would have immediately gone running to the media. The important thing now is to bring to justice the people and countries responsible for launching the phony investigation in the first place.

I looked at the poll results without voting because it simply doesn’t matter. The dems are going to cry either way. Their new buzz word for the week is “red meat”. They won’t be happy with tofu.

That entire bizzaro diatribe was exercise in misunderstanding which is sad if not misinformation which is pathetic lying.

 

Even the Barr letter itself states: "the report...does not exonerate".

 

And then for that poster to lie that Mueller and his team would have gone running to the media?

 

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/mar/22/the-leak-proof-inquiry-robert-mueller-trump-russia

"The leak-proof inquiry: how Mueller's team kept their work under wraps

There have been 37 indictments or guilty pleas and 199 criminal charges. Five people, including some of Donald Trump’s closest former advisers, have been sent to prison.

 

And yet for all the political fallout, intrigue over Mueller’s prosecutorial strategy and obsession with the contents of his final report, the office of the special counsel has remained an almost sealed vessel."

"

[Credo]

The purpose of a special counsel on the President is for Congress to make a determination of possible impeachable offenses.   In order to do that, Congress has to have full access to the report, and all supporting documents.   

 

Congress, along with the security agencies, should have final say in what is redacted before release to the public.   The public has a right to the information.
