Barr meets with Democratic media--UPDATE

11:05 am -- The Mueller report has been released to the public.

Attorney General William Barr presented his finding in more detail and spoke to the mostly anti-Trump press Thursday morning. Barr confirmed that the Mueller investigation found no evidence of collusion between any members of the Trump campaign, nor "any American" during the 2016 presidential election. He is expected to release the full, redacted report to the public later today.

During a highly anticipated press conference at the Justice Department on Thursday, Barr, joined by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and some guy with a beard, outlined the findings from Mueller's investigation and explained their process for review and their decisions to redact certain material in the report.

"After nearly two years of investigation, thousands of subpoenas, and hundreds of warrants and witness interviews, the Special Counsel confirmed that the Russian government-sponsored efforts to illegally interfere with the 2016 presidential election but did not find that the Trump campaign or other Americans colluded in those schemes," Barr said. He added that Mueller's report also went on to "consider whether certain actions of the president could amount to obstruction of the Special Counsel investigation."

It appears at this time that Democrats and the mainstream media are going to have difficulties implicating the president of committing collusion, but Adam Schiff believes he can indict the president for lying to an FBI agent by saying "Good morning" on a rainy, somewhat miserable day.

Barr said he would release the report to chairmen and ranking members of both the House and Senate Judiciary Committees late Thursday morning, and following its transmission to those congressional leaders, would release the report to the public through the Justice Department's website.

President Trump is meeting with the Wounded Warriors organization and it might be wise for him to not address the Barr presser. But we're talking about Donald Trump and he will do what he wants to do.
