    So two years of trashing Muller and his investigation, trump essentially gets the results he wanted. Mueller concluded he found no collusion, and doesn't indict or exonerate trump on obstruction. Kudos to Mueller and team for their work, as they have performed admirably these past two years under the most difficult and serious of conditions. And the country survived this investigation, and is able to move on.

    Now on to the state and congressional investigations.

    Well, not exactly, when you consider the number and positions of people that were indicted, pleaded guilty, and found guilty. Also interesting that the same press that reported on the various Clinton investigations without conviction are now being "exposed" by this investigation. Reckon it only depends on what partisan side you are on...

    Now we can go back to the reality of having a president that lies continually and one that there are still serious doubts of his legal conduct both leading into and after becoming president. But fortunately... Mueller didn't find he actively colluded with the russians. putin is pleased...

    It isn't their job to prove his innocence, it is their job to probe guilt. This is such a bias narrative.

    And yeah, we should totally waste more time, money and political capital... Instead of you know, focusing on actually important issues at hand. The left has been so focused on this, they've squandered any real shot at meaningful change for over two years.

    Investigate away... I am sure we haven't investigated Clinton enough, so have at her as well.

    I hope you realize not a single one of the indicted and/or convicted people had a single thing to do with Russian collusion by Trump.

    In America we can only prove not guilty. There is no such thing as proving innovence. Not guilty means not enough evidence found to prove guilt. Not innocent.

    Yes, like republicans have been focusing on such things... I have been hearing about infrastructure for what, the last two years? And that better health care plan? All that has been accomplished is lower taxes for the wealthy and corporations, and higher debt. Oh... and more hatred.

    Both parties need to focus on real solutions...

    You mean Trump and the Republicans did that.

    Remember, they've had congress and senate, and the executive office. Blame the GOP for that.

    Actually the Special Counsel did not make any conclusion - that it Barr's conclusion - we're still waiting for the report to be released.

    Sounds like Barr is going to bat for Trump.

    Funny, that's what OJ SImpson said... he was proven "not guilty". But yes, that's the legals system, but there is also the court of public opinion.

    Exactly, saying they didn't prove his innocence shows clear bias. That's not how the law works. He IS innocent until PROVEN guilty.

    I didn't vote for the man, but people who are all too willing to throw our rights out the window are every bit as bad as the man they think Trump is.

    He was found not guilty.

    It is pretty easy to delete digital evidence.

    Yes they need to take out anything that makes Trump look bad, then they can release it. Then they can claim victory. Of course, people aren't fools.
