Mueller report: Read AG William Barr's summary of the Russia investigation
"WASHINGTON – Congress on Sunday got its first peek into what special counsel Robert Mueller found after years investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and any possible collusion with President Donald Trump's campaign.
The summary was compiled by Attorney General William Barr and put into a four-page sent to Congress. It was created after Barr spent days reading through Mueller's lengthy investigation, which was completed on Friday. It attempts to answer key questions that have hung over Trump's presidency, specifically whether the president committed the crime of obstruction of justice and colluded with Russia".

Explainer: Why Trump's legal woes go beyond the Mueller report
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The closure of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 U.S. election does not mark the end of legal worries for President Donald Trump and people close to him. Other ongoing investigations and litigation are focusing on issues including his businesses and financial dealings, personal conduct, charitable foundation, and inaugural committee".

Why One of Trump’s Biggest Legal Threats Is New York’s Attorney General
"After two years of legal wrangling, the Trump Foundation will soon be no more. Last month, in the midst of a dramatic month for cases that stem from President Trump’s pre-presidency life, a judge signed off on a plan to shutter Trump’s much-criticized personal foundation. Under the new agreement, the foundation will be dissolved under court supervision".

It ain't over. Nowhere close. It's just now getting started. There is still that little matter of his crooked dealings in NY.
There is also this little matter that hasn't been dealt with yet.
Barr's Summary on Mueller Report Highlights Russian Interference in the 2016 Election
"The role of Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election was one of the key takeaways of Attorney General William Barr's summary report on the special counsel's investigation into election meddling and possible contact with President Donald Trump's campaign, American University historian Allan Lichtman said.
Barr on Sunday wrote to Congress to summarize special counsel Robert Mueller's report, saying that Mueller "did not find that the Trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with the Russian government."
Lichtman, a history professor at the D.C.-based university and author of the book "The Case for Impeachment" told News4 that Barr's letter to Congress on Sunday confirms that the Russian government attempted to influence and sway the result of the 2016 presidential election in favor of Trump against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton".

Either way, you cut it, even though Trump was dumb about it, Russia interfered in our election. Through hook or crook, Trump cheated his way into office. Whether he knew it or not. But then that begs the question, Why did Russia want Trump in office? What is it they thought they could gain by him being there?
It ain't over yet. Either way, you cut it there are a lot more questions without answers. Maybe those answers will come after New York starts their case.

We are already expecting the Republicans to try to sweep as much as they can under the rug and call it done.
Ex-Justice Official Fears 'Whitewash' In Barr Rejection Of Trump Obstruction Charges
"A former acting solicitor general of the United States accused Attorney General William Barr on Sunday of a rush to judgment in determining that he will not consider obstruction of justice charges against President Donald Trump.
The move will spark suspicions of a “whitewash,” Neal Katyal told Katie Tur on MSNBC.
Barr released a letter to Congress on Sunday in which he said that special counsel Robert Mueller cleared the Trump campaign of criminal collusion with Russia, but that Mueller’s report does “not exonerate” the president of obstruction of justice. However, less than 48 hours after Mueller submitted his report to the Justice Department, Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein took it upon themselves to decide that prosecutors would not press obstruction charges against Trump.
Katyal said Barr should have taken more time and consideration to reach such a decision — and should have interviewed Trump before he did so".

This is why we need oversight. If we didn't have it the Republicans would pull all sorts of crooked shyt.
