MUELLER REPORT SUMMARY RELEASED: Trump is doing his happy dance

Attorney General William Barr has finally released the "principal conclusions" of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's completed Russia probe in a four-page letter to Capitol Hill lawmakers.

The letter stated definitively that Mueller did not establish evidence that Trump's team had conspired with Russia nor coordinated with Russia.

"The special counsel's investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its effort" to interfere with the 2016 presidential election, according to Mueller's report.

Barr said Mueller's team had "thoroughly" investigated allegations that Trump's team sought to conspire with Russians or obstruct investigators. The probe employed about 40 FBI agents, executing hundreds of search warrants, 19 lawyers, mostly Democrats, and the probe interviewed about 500 witnesses.

Barr's disclosure was a climax following the 22-month investigation that ensnared six former Trump advisers and associates -- but resulted in no indictments related to collusion with Russia.

The Democrats, some of whom beat their dogs, punched their boyfriends or partook in bouts of trichotillomania, vowed that this will not be the end of it. Just because they praised Mueller and his unwavering commitment to the truth when the probe into Russian collusion with the Trump campaign began, is no reason to continue believing in things they said in the past.

On Sunday Democrats vowed to press on with other investigations, and members of both parties continued to push for the public release of as much of the Mueller report as possible, unlike the left's refusal to demand transparency in the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama scandals.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday that he believed there remained “significant evidence of collusion” linking the Russian government with President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, and if any is found, he will personally call for the president's execution.

Schiff said Democrats might subpoena Mueller, Barr and Putin if the full report is not released.

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY), speaking to "Fox News Sunday," insisted, "So we know a lot of things and maybe it’s not indictable, but we know there was collusion. The question is the degree." [Never trust politicians and liberals, in general, who begin their sentences with 'so.']

Democrat congressional leaders scrambled to respond to the end of the Mueller probe this weekend, holding an emergency conference call and discussing potential next steps with Roseanne Barr [no relation to Bill] and Chelsea Handler.



"It's the end of the beginning but it's not the beginning of the end," Delaware Sen. Chris Coons (D) said, echoing his party's strategy of moving forward on to other investigations, including probes into Trump's financial dealings, his sex life, his children and their financial dealings and sex lives, and whether he ever held hands with Vladimir Putin.

 "Once we get the principal conclusions of the report," Coons added later, "I think it's entirely possible that that will be a good day for the president and his core supporters."

Along those lines, Nadler said that Democrats would continue their efforts to find out anything they can that can affect the outcome of the 2020 election at the expense of taxpayer money. In other words, we have a president and a party trying to find a crime rather than a crime and trying to find the perpetrator.

"The job of Congress is much broader than the job of the special counsel," Nadler said. "The special counsel is looking and can only look for crimes. We have to protect the rule of law, we have to look for abuses of power, we have to look for obstructions of justice, we have to look for corruption in the exercise of power which may not be crimes."

If you have to look for it, the crime is probably not there, but the election is and that's the real point, isn't it?

A former senior law enforcement official told Fox News that Democrats would lack key investigative powers that Mueller had, including the ability to convene grand juries -- and that Nadler's path amounted to trying to criminalize meetings with foreign actors that the special counsel apparently determined were simply not criminal.

“With all the talk of the Democrats intensifying their House investigations," the former official said, it was important to note that "unlike Special Counsel Mueller, Congress and the [DOJ Inspector General] cannot convene grand juries and initiate prosecutions. If Mueller couldn't find collusion or conspiracy with every investigative tool, what do the Democrats expect to accomplish?"

Other than trying to undermine the election.

Some conservatives, meanwhile, say that Democrats should come under increased scrutiny for their contacts with foreign nationals.

Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) hired the firm Fusion GPS, which employed British ex-spy Christopher Steele to produce an anti-Trump dossier that the FBI used to justify the surveillance of a top Trump aide and kickstart the Russia probe.

 This week, text messages exclusively obtained by Fox News revealed that the DOJ apparently raised "repeated" concerns that Steele, whose blatant anti-Trump views are now widely known, was politically biased.

The Trump aide, Carter Page, has not been charged with any wrongdoing, although the FBI initially alleged he had conspired with Russians.

On Sunday, Ohio GOP Rep. Jim Jordan said Sunday that if the Mueller report is disclosed publicly, then all documents relating to it should also be published -- including the complete Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant application to monitor Page.

That ought to make Hillary a bit nervous.

To his credit, President Trump stayed off of Twitter over the weekend until today when he tweeted: "Have a great day," and "Make America Great Again!"

This angered the liberal press who was hoping he'd say something regrettable.
