Yesterday, Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller delivered his final report to Attorney General William Barr, who is now reading it and will make a decision on how much to deliver to Congress and make public. That sounds on the surface to be suspicious, but it is not. The entire report might contain all sorts of unconfirmed innuendo, like the Steele Dossier, "golden showers" and the like. There is neither need nor justification for releasing that.
It is also reported that Mueller is recommending no further indictments. Is that a final victory for Trump? Not necessarily since Mueller had already indicated he would not attempt to indict a stirring president. The crucial question still remains though everyone seems top know the answer: There is no evidence linking Trump to the Russians in their attempt to influence our election. Weexpe3ct that answer shortly.
Already, the news media and Democrats in Congress are reacting in outrage. Adam "Shifty" Schiff (D-CA) says this isn't over and he plans to hold hearings, subpoena witnesses, including the Special Prosecutor, blah blah blah. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Chuckie Schemer* (D-NY) want the full report and the "underlying documentation" provided to Congress. That means "golden showers" and all. They want every negative thing said about Trump by interviewees, every false lead, every piece of paper, so they can track down those leads themselves for the next two years and continue to embarrass Trump. Barr should resist that and release the pertinent findings.
*That's not a misspelling on my part.
It's too soon to really pop the corks though that could come today. The central question is this: Was Trump and/or anyone in his campaign involved in colliding with the Russian to meddle in the 2016 election? I'm still betting the answer is no.
