Attorney General Barr Released The Special Counsel's Report: But Hold On Folks, It Ain't Over Till Its Over

A redacted version was released today of Robert Mueller's report and almost a month after the report was completed the American people still have not seen or red the full report and its back up materials.  The Attorney General held a news conference about the report and sounded like he represented the President instead of the government and the people.

Despite the Attorney General and Trump's statement that the President was exonerated and that the Game Was Over, nothing could be farther from the truth.  The report says without a doubt the President was not exonerated on the obstruction of justice issue.  That is all the U.S. House needs to know to continue their own investigation of the obstruction issue and now have a little more information to work on thanks to the Mueller report.  Coupled with the House's information gathered from their witnesses, the investigation is still very much alive.

The report also detailed: (1)  How the President's children and son in law met with the Russians in order to obtain dirt on Hillary Clinton for the expressed purpose to help Trump's campaign.  (2)  How the President wrote Trump Jr's email and lied about what the meeting was all about.  What is so important about that is the fact that no past Presidential candidate, republican or democratic has ever sought the helpof a foreign government to seek dirt on an opponent.  That action describes just how low crooked Trump can stoop.

One way or anothr, Mueller's full report without the redactions will be released and the U.S.House will end up writing the final report on the trumpet man's malignancy.  Until then, It ain't over till its over.
