...and the Trump supporters accepted his verdict as if it had been written on a stone.
He was wrong then and he is still wrong. He acted as if he were the attorney for Donald Trump, rather than the American people? Once the truth is known, he may be guilty of serious crimes?
But his declaration did nothing to change the facts of the Mueller Report. There was sworn evidence from many witnesses of serious crimes, including abuse of power and multiple incidents of obstruction of justice. Those did not disappear just because Mr Barr chose to throw it in the trash can.
As much as Mr Trump and his supporters want to pretend that there was nothing in the Mueller Report and that it cleared him of all charges, that is not the reality.
My hope is that Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats will send all those charges to the Senate for adjudication in a Senate trial. After all, all the witnesses were under oath when they gave their testimony to Mr Mueller. There is no need to further interview them or to put them under oath again.
Let the Senate dispose of Mr Mueller's Report in a Senate trial, just as if were a court of law.

I dare ReTHUGs to attempt to discredit the intelligence agencies, the Judicial branch and the conclusions of the report. And don't forget the Stone trial will be over shortly and already more lies have been exposed.
