Robert Mueller officially finished his report on Friday and submitted this information to Attorney General Bob Barr for review. Here are four takeaways from the report.
1. No new indictments will be made according to Fox News:
MSNBC host Chris Matthews seemed livid that neither President Trump, his children, nor his “henchmen” would face any criminal charges from the special counsel.
“Maybe he missed the boat here,” Matthews said of Mueller. “Because we know about the Trump Tower meeting in June 2016, we know about the meeting at the cigar bar with Kilimnik [Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian political consultant]. My God, we know about all of those meetings with Kislyak [Sergey Kislyak, a Russian diplomat] at the Republican convention in Cleveland. All these dots we’re now to believe don’t connect.”
2. Congress can be briefed as soon as this weekend according to The New York Post:
“I may be in a position to advise you of the Special Counsel’s principal conclusions as soon as this weekend,” reads the document, sent to House Judiciary Committee members Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Doug Collins (R-GA).
The letter, dated March 22, was made public Friday evening, as Barr was reportedly reading the full report at the Justice Department. The letter marks an end to investigation that netted criminal charges of 30 people and three dozen companies. The probe suggests no additional indictments.
3. Dems are refusing to accept that there will be no more indictments even though Mueller is finished. According to Fox News:
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff rejected reports that no more Mueller indictments are coming, and suggested he would call the special counsel before a House panel if necessary to learn what is in the report.
“If necessary, we will call Bob Mueller or others before our committee, I would imagine the judiciary committee may call the attorney general if necessary,” the California Democrat said during an interview on CNN.
4. CNN is forced to admit that the Mueller report vindicates President Trump. According to The Daily Caller:
CNN pundits are admitting that Mueller’s final report vindicates President Donald Trump, undercutting the frenzied coverage the network has given the Russia investigation since its inception.
Special counsel Robert Mueller submitted his report on Russian collusion to Attorney General Bill Barr on Friday, finally wrapping up a 22-month investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
