Many are calling this vindication for the Trump Administration, as the two year special counsel investigation comes to an end.
In a serious blow to the Democratic Party, and a large-scale vindication for the Trump Administration and Donald Trump in particular, the summary of the Mueller Report shows that his campaign did not collude with Russia.
Mueller’s investigation issued nearly 3,000 subpoeanas, in addition to executing about 500 search warrants. Yet, there was no collusion found.
For many Democrats who had been banking on Mueller to provide a justification for impeachment, this is a crushing blow to their plans. It’s also a big win for Trump, who has been saying “no collusion” over and over again, which matches up with what the report found.
The report adds “While this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him,” which shows that obstruction could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Notably, the report goes out of the way to state that there was no ‘evidence’ of collusion, which is an even higher standard than saying that there isn’t enough information to lay a particular charge. This will be further cited as vindication for Trump.
The full summary can be read below:
The White House released a statement on the summary:
“The Special Counsel did not find any collusion and did not find any obstruction. AG Barr and DAG Rosenstein further determined there was no obstruction. The findings of the Department of Justice are a total and complete exoneration of the President of the United States.””
