Analysis of the redacted Mueller report

OK, folks, here's the whole damn thing.
I don't think I've ever written 18,000 words in a week before.
Kinda compulsive, but there it is.https://t.co/ognqxbGSGj

Republicans won’t hold Trump accountable

“The Republican Party, and the Senate, is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Donald Trump"

– @TheRickWilson https://t.co/Sy9VWbWiW6

Let’s be clear: The refusal of the Republicans to say or do anything despite the detailed evidence of obstruction in the Mueller report is dereliction of duty and a disservice to America on a massive scale.
— Steven Beschloss (@StevenBeschloss) April 26, 2019

Even more striking is that all these Republicans will oppose any effort to impeach Trump (leaving them with a President Pence) and will doggedly support him for reelection, when they instead could have any other Republican https://t.co/HtucEQiiHM

Majority say Trump lied to us

However, the poll shows the public is also opposed to impeachment. I don’t want impeachment because I want indictments. Trump must be held accountable. Impeachment will fail in the Senate because Republicans have no interest in enforcing the law. They only care what the Trump cult thinks.

However, if Trump and his staff don’t respond to subpoenas, we may have to up the ante by going to impeachment.

Trump wanted Sessions to prosecute Hillary Clinton

This is a clear abuse of power. Will Republicans not even condemn this? https://t.co/ZOUr4LQGpV
— Renato Mariotti (@renato_mariotti) April 24, 2019

They won’t. They let Trump do anything. They’re afraid of their voters who are more loyal to Trump than them.

The President asked his attorney general to prosecute Hillary Clinton.

Let that sink in.https://t.co/rZAarvkSQA

Rudy Giuliani says “There’s nothing wrong with getting information from Russians.”

It’s not alright. Rudy is wrong. It looks like they’re inviting the Russians to help again in 2020. There are big implications for future elections. If Trump wins in 2020, it will be hard to believe he didn’t win because of Russian help. Sad!

President Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, insisted on Sunday that it was acceptable for a political campaign to use hacked information about its opponent obtained from a foreign adversary — though he personally would have advised against it https://t.co/l8pKeuT66w

Why didn’t the Trump campaign call the FBI when approached by Russia? https://t.co/mMVVJHFanH

One of the most remarkable things about the last couple years is we have been given no indication that Trump’s re-election campaign will hesitate to take advantage of Russian help again, in whatever form it might take. https://t.co/TNG2Zvcmfx
— Dustin Volz (@dnvolz) April 21, 2019

Question: with Trump allies defending acceptance of Russian campaign help – & Mueller absolving them of criminal wrongdoing – has the US given license to its citizens to do same in 2020 & beyond? What will stop the next American from accepting the next offer of Russian help?

Wrong. Mueller evaluated the facts under campaign finance violations which prohibit foreign interference in elections. The only reasons he was unable to charge was because he was couldn’t place a $ valuation on the info and couldn’t show that Treason & Co. acted “willfully.” https://t.co/skjTHYYzUx

My G-d. There’s nothing wrong with getting information from Russians to help win a U.S election???!!!!

“So it’s now okay for political campaigns to work with material stolen by foreign adversaries?” “It depends on the stolen material.” @RudyGiuliani tells me. Compares stolen WikiLeaks emails to the Pentagon Papers. #MTP

This is nothing like the Pentagon Papers.

Adlai Stevenson in 1960 and Hubert Humphrey In 1968 both felt and acted differently, refusing Russian offers of help out of hand. https://t.co/j923vIi762

37 percent.

And he'll hold a rally, yell about some brown people rushing the border, and it'll be back to forty. This is a president whose entire strategy is to be reelected by losing the popular vote and winning the EC – again. https://t.co/7SLBizUxuU

He’s lost it.
