Examining Mueller, Closely

JEFFREY TOOBIN'S recent book "True Crimes and Misdemeanors" examines the Muller report, and finds that whereas it is quite accurate in describing president Trump's behavior as unethical and criminal, the report falls short in that it fails to explicitly condemn it, using the now famous phrase ", "we cannot exonerate the president", which bill Barr, Trump, and Trump supporters twisted to mean that Trump had been exonerated. Mueller clearly stated that his job was not to indict or prosecute the president, that would be left up to congress and the courts but he essentially provided a blueprint for doins so, focusing heavily on the numerous instances the president and his legal team committed obstruction of justice. Problem is, the Mueller report was 448 pages long, and hardly anyone bothered to read the whole thing. That gave Attorney General Barr, acting more like Trump's personal attorney than a representative of teh American people, time to publish a four page summary of Mueller's work. and to thus mislead the American people into thinking that Trump had been excused by Mueller, when in fact just the opposite was true, and still is. You are cordially invited to read the actual Mueller report, which is still very much with us, and to decide for yourself. If you do, it will become obvious to you that the president should not only have been impeached for accepting willingly assistance from the Russians in getting elected, he should have been removed from office.the essence of Mueller's findings is this" that Trump was aware of, accepted, welcomed, and did nothing to stop Russian operatives from putting on a campaign of misinformation in an attempt to help Trump gain support against Clinton in 2016. then, he and his team covered up the crime, and obstructed justice numerous time in so doing. We have largely forgotten the Mueller report now, because of an avalanche of presidential misbehavior since; it has gotten lost, literally, in the shuffle of crime, lies, and unethical behavior i which Trump has engaged since. but it should never be forgotten, and, by discerning, honest citizens and historians, won't be.
