Mueller’s many loose ends

[homersapien 11,447]

Good article summarizing the unresolved questions regarding the Mueller report.

What comes next now that the probe is finished.

 

(Outline:)

The biggest loose end: When will we see (some of) the report?

Did Mueller find nothing on collusion — or just not enough to prosecute?

What did Mueller find on obstruction — and why didn’t he make a recommendation one way or the other?

......That, of course, raises the questions of what exactly Mueller found on obstruction. Here, the special counsel is known to have investigated:

• The circumstances around Trump’s firing of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn
• Trump’s conversations with FBI Director James Comey and his eventual firing of Comey
• Trump’s pressures on Attorney General Jeff Sessions over the Russia investigation
• Trump’s treatment of and contacts with various other Justice Department and intelligence officials, with regards to investigations implicating him or his associates
• Whether Trump or his associates may have hinted at or offered pardons to witnesses in exchange for not incriminating him
• False testimony from Trump associates to congressional committees investigating Russian interference
• Trump’s involvement in crafting a false public story about Donald Jr.’s meeting with the Russian lawyer

What happens to Mueller’s existing cases?

What happened to ... everything else Mueller investigated?

.......Yet Barr’s summary mentions nothing about ... well, many, many other topics related to the Trump team and Russia that we know Mueller has investigated. These include:

• The Trump Organization’s business dealings related to Russia
• The Trump Tower Moscow talks
• Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower
• Russian efforts to influence US policy on sanctions and Ukraine, both during the election and afterward
• Paul Manafort’s handing over Trump polling data to Konstantin Kilimnik
• Manafort’s efforts to reach out to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska
• Connections between the NRA, a Russian central bank official, and spending on behalf of Trump’s campaign
• Potential efforts to coordinate with WikiLeaks over the stolen emails
• An offer from Gulf princes to the Trump team for election help on social media
• Russia and other foreign-tied donations to Trump’s inauguration
• Efforts by Jared Kushner to set up back-channel communications with Russia after the election

There is no evidence of collusion except by hillary. Their "evidence" and "Probable cause" is that Trump won and hillary lost. Thats their case. No wrongdoing, just   butthurt because Trump won.

No, read the OP again.

1) We don't know what evidence Mueller found regarding Trump or Hillary for that matter.

2) This is purely facetious.  It is not serious debate.  Take it to the "smack talk" forum.

No, read the response again. There IS plenty of evidence against Hillary. Are you not aware that her campaign paid for the dossier?  Whether Mueller and his band of Trump haters do anything with that information is predictable.

Item 2 is the best part. You have moved from the issue to personal attack. That means I won. Thank you Homer.
