SPECIAL REPORT:  THE MUELLER REPORT RELEASED



                                           (NEWS, COMMENT AND ANALYSIS)



Its redacted, but now there's something out there that the world can look at and draw its own conclusions about regarding the conclusions of Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller's report.

Mueller said no Russian collusion with President Trump's 2016 campaign but was not so conclusive regarding obstruction of justice in the case.

This provided an opening for Democrats and other critics of President Trump to pounce on.

Its been the President's persistent contention that there was:


"No collusion, No obstruction"


in the case.


Wikileaks created an easy to read downloadable, text-searchable copy of the Mueller Report.

Many reactions to report but one linked to Wikileaks.

Journalist Glenn Greenwald who worked with Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who now lives in Russia,  noted that Paul Manafort was not involved in visits to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.


This is a tweet Greenwald sent out Thursday about the inaccurate reporting of "The Guardian" newspaper in the UK.


GLENN GREENWALD TWEET

Greenwald appeared with Tucker Carlson on Fox News Thursday night noting that media outlets:

"constantly fed each other conspiracy theories and told each other they were on the right track"

and Greenwald also said:

"Donald Trump broke the brains of a lot of people, particularly people in the media who believe that telling lies, inventing conspiracy theories, being journalistically reckless, it's all justified...."



The redacted report spends a lot of pages dealing with Russian efforts to involve themselves in the 2016 campaign and it alleges that Russian military intelligence (GRU) was feeding hacked Democratic Party emails to Wikileaks for release in the months before the November 2016 election.

Julian Assange is mentioned as having internet access at the time at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London but much is blacked out under the notion of "Ongoing Matter".

When one sums up the report one can agree with President Trump's notion that it was written by lawyers hostile to him.

The report paints a picture of President Trump in a negative light without rising to the level of saying he committed any crime.     Clearly the report admits no collusion but then tries to spread the notion of something nefarious in Trump's reaction to the investigation directed against him.

Its possible to conclude that the report is in some way a campaign document aimed at voters in the 2020 election.

If you go to the link above, you can read it for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
