Vindication for Trump? Not so fast, says Connecticut congressional delegation on the Mueller report
The Hartford Courant ^ | March 24, 2019 | Neil Vigdor

Posted on 03/24/2019 6:53:58 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Despite Special Counsel Robert Mueller finding no evidence of Russian collusion by the Trump campaign in his now-closed investigation, members of Connecticut’s all-Democrat congressional delegation say they are not fully convinced that there was no wrongdoing by the president.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal is not backing away from his declaration on MSNBC Thursday that “there are indictments in this president’s future” — even though Mueller recommended no further indictments as part of his 22-month probe.

The vociferous Trump critic and frequent target of the president’s Twitter barbs called on the Justice Department Sunday to release the full Mueller report, saying that a four-page summary of its findings crafted by Attorney General William Barr is not the last word.

Blumenthal wants to know what the basis of Barr’s decision was not to pursue criminal charges on obstruction of justice against Trump. Barr’s summary of the report quotes Mueller as saying it “does not exonerate” the president on obstruction.

Time to take off the gloves towards those that are not convinced. It’s our elected officials on our side that have to step up. Name names for those who won’t.

“does not exonerate”....

Saw those words in almost Every article at the top of google news.

They don’t get it.

Blumenthal sounds like an idiot.

And if Trump is EVER kicked out of office, which won’t happen, I’d love to have a talk with Bloomy.

Would say that, he keeps up with this utter BS— Blumenthal’s days are numbered. He’s in the scope sight. And quite a few “goods” on this clown.

Imagine someone running with “prove the negative” that is— prove that since he “wasn’t exonerated” he must be guilty. Cross that flimsy bridge, blumenthal... go ahead. Dare you.

Senator Blumenthal also believed he had served in Vietnam which he did not. You would usually remember something like that, at least he flight over and back after a year in country.

Pay no attention to Omar, who wants your people dead.

Let’s call a spade a spade. She does.

Go after Trump, who has supported Israel, and rightfully so, Magnificently.

I don’t get it.
