Why are you linking to a news report on the preliminary summary released by Barr? It was clearly crafted to drive an initial narrative of exoneration. The actual Mueller report is much more damning for Trump, including findings that were redacted for many months, after public attention had died down.
- themaninthedark 6y agoI would like to see a link. I just googled off of memory and used the least partisan link that I could see which was the BBC. Edit to add: I have not followed the news that closely, so I am open to new information. But I think this exchange proves the overall point on censorship, there were extraordinary claims that were refuted for having no evidence. Investigations were had, preliminary reports said no misconduct but now you say that later reports are more damming. If we treated the situation the same, the news and twitter would have not amplified the voices but silenced them and we would have had no investigation.

It also identifies links between Trump campaign officials and individuals with ties to the Russian government, about which several persons connected to the campaign made false statements and obstructed investigations."
