The Report: What about Accessory after the fact? What about Aiding and Abetting?

Mueller may have not been able to charge Trump with conspiracy because of our incredible stupid laws. But what about Trump concealing the crime after it happened? He did that. That's a fucking crime. He used the presidency, the bully pulpit to lie to the American people about an attack on our election by Russia. He told us it didn't happen.

If this is not a crime we are screwed.

Mueller was limited, did he pass the evidence of these crimes to other jurisdictions to investigate? Did he want the evidence in his report to go to congress and possible impeachment hearings?

I do not care about the Report anymore, but when it is released if it can answer important questions, show justice, show reality, then maybe I will care about the report. Maybe I can have hope again. Right now I don't fucking care what happens to this country. That was taken from me. Right now I only care about my family and I.

The funny thing about history is that if there is nothing learned, it gets repeated.

Trump has not learned anything.

"[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities,"

Putin often uses both the mob, and private oligarchs, to do his bidding. May not have been an official government operation (probably wasn't...).

What was the beginning of the sentence, even? The other sentences around it?
