In his press conference before delivering special counsel Robert Mueller’s redacted report to Congress, Attorney General William Barr reiterated his previous assessment that there was “no collusion” between the Trump campaign and the Russian government or Russian trolls to influence the 2016 election.

“In other words, there was no evidence of the Trump campaign collusion with the Russian government’s hacking,” he said, making similar comments about the efforts of Russian trolls to interfere in the election.

  1. Snork, slurp, slurp, gulp, slurp… This is some mighty tasty shit, America. Want a taste?

  2. No collusion No conclusion No corruption!!!

    looking forward to the musical

  3. Winks, nods, full knowledge of Russian activity and not reporting it to the FBI…

    I guess that’s not collusion?

  4. This is unreal. It’s essentially another Trump sycophant talking up how great the President is. It also seems like his argument for no obstruction is the fact that Trump permitted the investigation to go forward, permitted his aides and staff to speak with the investigators, and for not invoking executive privelage… like what?!?

  5. Wow…how many times and ways could Barr say ‘no collusion’ while ‘admitting’ that Mueller found evidence, LOTS of evidence that the Russians were interfering in our elections to the detriment of the Democrats…but no collusion by Trump…in the question of obstruction he excuses it because Donnie was FRUSTRATED by being ‘accused of collusion’. Are you FKING kidding me? Donnie has been accused of ‘bad acting’ his entire life but NOW he’s ‘frustrated’ so all this obstruction stuff is warranted?
