Mueller Report hits the press: What are the important takeaways?

After nearly two years of investigating, the report compiled by Special Counsel Robert Mueller regarding any potential collusion between President Donald Trump and the Russian initiative that aimed to see him elected has been released to the public. While pundits, journalists, and social media commenters alike have already begun drawing attention to specific portions of the report, the 448-page document will likely be a matter of ongoing discussion for weeks to come.

While it has already been widely reported that the investigation cleared the president of any collusion with Russian government officials, it did not paint Trump in a particularly positive light. The report indicates that members of the Trump campaign were in contact with Russians with ties to the election interference efforts, and perhaps more importantly, that the Trump campaign was well aware of Russia’s ongoing efforts. Those contacts, however, never crossed over the line into illegal activity, despite seeming clearly unethical.

    There is some very interesting info in that link I just posted, specifically with regard to Susan Rice’s infamous last second email to herself as a get out jail free card, and how George Papadapaloposnuffleluffagus was apparently baited into a CI investigation trap by a US agent in Italy.
    Btw: There is nothing new under the sun, and my looney toon prediction is that this eventually is going to lead back to John Brennan. It may sound clinically insane, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it eventually turns out that John Brennan was recruited by a FIS when he was totally inappropriately given a station job in KSA by the Bill Clinton administration.

    I hope he does weaponise the shit out of the DOJ! I hope everyone who colluded with the foreign intelligence agencies in England, Australia and Ukraine, who used a fake Russian disinformation, as an excuse to spy on Trump, who allowed contractors to use the NSA to spy on Trump, go to prison! I further hope that CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the fake stream media, who made millions and millions perpetuating this lie, that they knew was a lie, because of their collusion, with the domestic spies, lose their license to broadcast.

    Never trusted Nadler, as he is a terrorist sympathiser. He actively used his position to slander the United States, saying that we torture inmates at gitmo, by making them wear restraints, like handcuffs, while they are being escorted and transported. So he would rather the enemies of America, get a free shot, at killing the Guards there, than have the burden of wearing handcuffs. A real world class piece of shit.

    The Russians did mess with this country, and the Democrats , with their propaganda arm, the fake news media, used a fake Russian dossier to help the Russians tear this country apart.
    The collusion to use Russian materials, was in fact on the Democrats side.

    Aside from winning the 2016 election, what has Trump done wrong?
