So basically white meet wash. See you in 2020 a$$holes – looks like we’ll have to take care of this ourselves.

The Special Counsel obtained a number of indictments and convictions of individuals and entities in connection with his investigation, all of which have been publicly disclosed.

Except for 13 sealed indictments, which are not public.

Whitewashing so hard he forgot what’s already known.

At this point, I’m not sure which 13 you mean. Could you point me in the general direction?

The Special Counsel’s decision to describe the facts of his obstruction investigation without reaching any legal conclusions leaves it to the Attorney General to determine whether the conduct described in the report constitutes a crime. …Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and I have concluded that the evidence… is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense.

There you have it. Mueller wouldn’t state outright that Trump obstructed justice, so it falls to the stooge that Trump hand-picked for this purpose.

Barr is a solid royalist. If the police had Trump in cuffs because he was caught on tape murdering a child with his bare hands, and Trump then fired those police officers, Barr wouldn’t call it obstruction.

Cue Kavanaugh and Gorsuch with their line that “as long as the laws of physics provide a non-corrupt justification for exercise of presidential powers, there cannot be corruption.”

Justice has failed us. The Oval Office is now the world’s most effective getaway vehicle.

If I read the most byzantine portion correctly, Mr. Barr seems, despite his protestations to the contrary, to be saying that obstruction requires a likely criminal proceeding to be obstruction. And if you can’t indict a president, there’s not a likely criminal proceeding. So it’s not obstruction. Even though it would be.

As if he considered the indictment part only in that one way, but without considering whether the president could be indicted for obstruction. Thanks for the headache. Also the nothing.
