I guess the date etc. make it inappropriate for submission, but still seems pretty important paper.
I’ve noticed a similar trend on several liberal blogs which ignores the BIG NEWS of the weekend, >did Trump collude/conspire with the Russians to impact the 2016 elections? NO! Or was there any obstruction of justice during the investigations? Maybe, but it may not have risen to the level sufficient to prosecute.
Liberal commentators for most of the week end appeared to continue to hope something was/will be found hidden in the Mueller Report, but this AM there has been much acceptance of the Mueller findings re: Russian collusion/conspiracy. All the while they continue pinning their hopes on the obstruction investigation, which has actually accurately been handled procedurally in the Barr letter. Their last hope to continuing on this HOAX is to rely on the Democrat House members continuing investigations to find something, but this a trap strewn path which lead to political ruin in 2020. Ruin, because most independent voters may very well see it as a continuance based upon an initial lie in an attempt to ignore or over throw their original votes.
For the gullible here who made their hatred and other feelings clear with comments re: Putin’s influence, what lie are you going to foster and follow next?
The Mueller Report hasn’t been released to the public yet, you dumb*ss . You also haven’t factored in that Mueller was not born yesterday. He knows if these are charged as federal crimes they can be pardoned. If Mueller allows the 9th judicial District of New York to prosecute these crimes then donald trump has ZERO power to pardon the crimes. Prosecutors of American law are going to get the Russian mobsters’ waterboy President—don’t you worry. The only worry left is if enough illiterate non-college losers and rural white-trash like you give the living/breathing/walking shame of America a 2nd term.
CoRev,
You miss a crucial point, although you are hardly the only one. The letter from Barr never uses the word “collusion.” What was found not to be prosecutable was “conspiracy,” which is against the law, and “coordination,” Those latter two both imply a central plan or organization, with the former including some agreement in a meeting with the other party (Russians). As it is, we have seen massive amounts of collusion by several important people in the Trump campaign with Russians, with many of these indicted, and lying about such things is not a mere “process crime.” Collusion has been shown. But Trump is so disorganized and stupid he never cooked up a conspiracy, although he clearly made all kinds of effort to cover up and take care of people doing all that colluding, hence his lace of exoneration on the charge of obstruction of justice.
BTW, a few commentators along the way noted this, that Mueller was not investigating the non-crime of “collusion,” although Trump/Hannity kept screaming about it repeatedly.
Barkley, that;s the weakest argument I have heard in years. Collusion is not a crime, and Mueller investigated what he was instructed to investigate, conspiracy or coordination with Russia to influence the2016 election. Barr’s summary stated: “did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election,…”
Wiki tells us: “Collusion
Collusion is a secret cooperation or deceitful agreement in order to deceive others, although not necessarily illegal, as a conspiracy…” So by saying: “As it is, we have seen massive amounts of collusion by several important people in the Trump campaign with Russians, with many of these indicted, and lying about such things is not a mere “process crime.” You are reinforcing that no CRIME occurred, except for the process crimes of lying to the FBI in interviews and tax charges. Have you even looked at the charges for the 7 Americans charged?
What I remember it was Dem Congresspersons and their friends in the liberal press making the collusion argument , and kept screaming about it repeatedly..
I’m with you CoRev, lots of new “rising stars” in the Republican party. People to be proud of:

trump junior said they were discussing with the Russian based lawyer whether Russell Westbrook would ever win an NBA title or not. Who are we to argue or conjecture?? Only a dirty liberal wouldn’t take at face value trump relatives meeting with KGB lapdogs. Lawyers with KGB links are very concerned about the future success of America. These dirty liberals are disgusting.
CoRev Actually, collusion is a crime. You can find references to it in the US Code. For example, price collusion is a felony. Colluding to commit a misdemeanor is a felony. Go to the US Code and do a simple word search for “collusion”.
I don’t think anyone ever thought that Trump sat down with Team Putin and actively worked out a detailed plan to corrupt the election. If you’ll recall, the original mission charged to Mueller was to investigate the extent to which Russia interfered in the 2016 election. At the time President Trump vehemently denied that Russia did anything underhanded to influence the election. The Mueller investigation was supposed to answer that question. It was not supposed to go out and look for prosecutions. The only time Mueller prosecuted for “process crimes” was when a key witness was lying and standing in the way of investigating Russian involvement. So I don’t think anyone should be surprised by the Mueller report…or at least what we know about it. Mueller never saw his job as being a prosecutor; he saw his job as being an investigator. It was highly unlikely that there would ever be anything sensational except to confirm the fact that Trump was wrong about Putin’s involvement in the election. That said, Mueller seems to have had a track record of handing off possible criminal prosecutions to various district attorneys, whose job it is to prosecute crimes. Those DA investigations are still ongoing and we have no idea where that ends up. For example, it’s been reported that Mueller notified the DOJ quite a while ago that there wouldn’t be any new indictments from his office; however, we also know that several key witnesses were still discussing possible crimes with various DAs. That suggests Mueller’s plan was to step away from actual prosecutions in favor of regular district attorneys. So if there are to be any indictments, we should have expected that those would be coming from regular DA channels rather than from the Special Prosecutor.
I for one hope that the Mueller report tones down calls for Trump’s impeachment. I’ve never supported his impeachment. On that Nancy Pelosi and I are in full agreement. The best way to defeat the GOP in 2020 is to keep Trump in office. Vice-President Pence would be a much more formidable candidate in 2020. Even with the best of economic times Trump has never been able to rise above 45% in the polls. He’s been underwater his entire Presidency. As now seems likely, the economy will be turning south within the next year so it’s hard to see how Trump wins re-election…unless of course he really does get desperate enough to actively collude with Putin.
2slugs, we agree colluding is chargeable when associated with a crime, as you demonstrated: “For example, price (fixing) collusion is a felony. Colluding to commit a misdemeanor (long list here) is a felony.”
Sorry, CoRev, you seem to be in a fact free zone, not for the first time.
Michael Flynn and George Papadapoulou were both charged with lying to the FBI, while Manafort has been charged witth lying to authorities” and witness tampering. But, sure, these are all just “process crimes,” whatever those are.
Ah, CoRev, so you agree with me. “Collusion” is not the same thing as “conspiracy” or “coordination.” So, when Trump and Hannity et al run around shouting over and over as they are right now that the Barr letter reports that the Mueller report shows that there was “no collusion,” they are simply just outright lying. But then, Trump’s latest rate of lying has been about 22 times per day, so this is nothing new.
BTW, I find this category that seems to have recently appeared of “process crimes” rather weird. What makes a crime a “process crime.” A lot of what those indicted have done has been pretty serious in the eyes of a lot of people. Was Al Capone put awau for a “process crime”?
Barkley, you are confusing tax evasion (Cohen, Manafort and Gates), a crime, with lying to the FBI and not following the registration process (Roger Stone, Papadopoulos, Flynn, van der Zwaan, Patten (not registering as foreign lobbyist) which are a process crimes. No American has been charged with collusion or conspiracy with the Russians to affect the 2016 election.
You seem to have a unique definition for collusion. Business, social and personal interactions do not make collusion, and that’s what Mueller found.
“I’ve noticed a similar trend on several liberal blogs which ignores the BIG NEWS of the weekend”.
CoRev is Mr. Magoo! I have a lot of people who actually read Barr’s white wash. #1 – Mueller had plenty of evidence for obstruction but Barr choose not to prosecute as Barr is indeed Trump’s boy. The smart people out there (which of course CoRev chooses not to read) have noted that Barr basically undermined the entire concept of a special prosecutor with that decision.
#2 – that there is no specific notation of conspiracy, cooperation, or collusion (choose your preferred c) shows that the coverage continues to work for now.
Anyone suggesting that proves Trump did nothing wrong is either a liar or the dumbest person ever.
The point that the trade deficit in oil has almost vanished
— I expect the trade balance in energy to turn positive within months–
with virtually no impact on the overall trade balance is a point
worth making.
It happened because non-oil imports surged.
But this is a major point demonstrating that the trade balance
is determined by the savings-investment gap and everything
Trump is doing is essentially irrelevant and may actually be
counter-productive.

Lord – CoRev’s stupidity burns. Process crimes? Try perjury and cover-ups. And what were they covering up – the conspiracy with Russia of course. Like I said – Barr’s white wash only indicates that the covering up of what is effectively treason is working.
But hey no worries that Trump committed treason and is covering it up. After all it is not like he had an impeachable affair with a 22 year old American!
Ah, I see that CoRev does recognize that som of them have been charged with lying to the FBI. This looks pretty bad to me, CoRev. A “process crime”? I do not know what that is, but lying to the FBI is a crime and a serious one. Get real.
Barkley, let me help you: “Process crime
Process crime. In United States criminal procedure terminology, a process crime is an offense against the judicial process. These crimes include failure to appear, false statements, obstruction of justice, contempt of court and perjury. Process crimes are sometimes a basis for a “pretextual prosecution”, in which prosecutors bring process crime charges against a defendant in order topunish them for another crime for which a conviction is more difficult to obtain. …prosecutors may even go beyond a pretextual prosecution (through which they seek to sanction a real, if perhaps unprovable, offense) and use process crime charges merely to punish a defendant for their perceived obstinacy or insubordination.[1″
BTW, was “collusion” ever proven in the Mueller investigation?
Wiki can be your friend: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_crime I’m here always to help you learn 😉
I wonder if CoRev has closed his ears to today’s discussion of the Barr white wash letter? The more people look at this the more (the smart and honest ones at least) realize Mueller had enough evidence to indict Trump on obstruction of justice. But then there is that pesky DOJ policy about not indicting a sitting President. And Barr being the good Trump soldier he is exploited all of this to write that letter which Team Trump has dishonestly used to claim he was cleared of everything.
In fact I bet the ranch CoRev was in on this fraud. Hey CoRev – I hope Team Trump paid you well for prostituting yourself here.
BTW – why did they obstruct? On yea – to cover-up evidence on the big deal which was conspiring with the Russian. Mark my word – Trump is a traitor. But he actually thinks he can get away with this as there are good soldiers like CoRev all too willing to spread Trump’s incessant lies.
Pgl, bwa ha ha ha. You really should stick to subject with which you have some knowledge. Did you even read the Barr letter? Did you note the quotes within it? Your ignorance and hatred are driving you. Certainly not logic and rationality.
