We've read the Mueller report. We know what it says. It obliterates the conspiracy theories. And Mueller said Barr's letter *wasn't misleading*, just that media coverage overread it. But this is the 3-year-history of this story: one-day media hysteria on Twitter that goes nowhere
For 3 years in this story, there are always key lines in these new BLOCKBUSTER! articles that negate the 12-hour Twitter meltdown that evaporates into nothing. This is that sentence here. We've read the Mueller Report and know what it says about collusion, and that this is true:
A reminder of what's in the actual Mueller Report: theintercept.com/2019/04/18/rob…

I have a hard time believing the people of Ohio, India, Pennsylvania & Wisconsin who voted for Trump did so so he would change the leaders of Venezuela - especially since he said he was against such campaigns. If they wanted that, they had Rubio & Jeb, then Hilary, on the ballot.
Trump voters should feel pretty betrayed having listed to a candidate for two years rail against neocon orthodoxy, only to end up empowering the most extremist neocons and giving them free rein to pursue the darkest parts of their imperial agenda (same with "Draining the Swamp").
Yes, I meant Indiana, not India. Thank you people of Twitter for your kind and generous method of correcting my phone typing error.

Nothing will destroy journalism's reputation faster than creating new rules to conceal newsworthy info in the public interest. It's the literal antithesis of journalism. And nobody - nobody - believes they will apply these new rules if an anti-Trump country hacks dirt on Trump:
Both the dirt on Manafort and the Steele Dossier came from foreign officials trying to interfere in the election - the case of the former, from the Ukrainian government working with a DNC agent. Why are there no conscience examinations over that? politico.com/story/2017/01/…
There's only one viable, ethical role for journalists: if you have information in the public interest that you authenticate & which does not endanger innocent people, you publish it regardless of the source or their motives - period. Here's @DavidBarstow:

As someone who was one of the first & most vocal proponents of various conspiracy theories about Trump & Russia - including writing a whole book about it with @DavidCornDC - @Isikoff has been one of the very few willing to talk about what the media got wrong, how and why. Kudos:
One of the most important moments on cable news in the last 2 years: @Isikoff explaining clearly - on MSNBC no less! - why the Stone indictment should have been viewed as disproving huge parts of the conspiracy if the media were being minimally rational
As soon as Mueller made clear that Trump officials had no idea what WL had & therefore needed Roger Stone to try to find out - in the *weeks* before WL published - that, as @Isikoff said, disproved the Steele Dossier & the conspiracy theories. Why didn't the media point that out?

Mueller complained Barr’s letter did not capture ‘context’ of Trump probe; SC emphasized NOTHING in AG’s 3/24 letter was INACCURATE or MISLEADING. But, he expressed frustration over lack of PROPER MSM MEDIA coverage #FactsMatter #PatriotsAwakened a.msn.com/01/en-us/AAAKJ…

“Is anyone else worried that many, if not all, of the 12 criminal investigation referrals that we learned about in the report are under the supervision of the now exposed political hack Barr?” - @clairecmc
#Barr #Mueller #BarrCoverUp ⏰Barr will go on offense, and suggest investigations into the investigators to deflect and sow fear @TheJusticeDept @FBI. He will also warn against leaking and promise to prosecute leakers. GET READY!
#BarrCoverUp #BarrWhiteWash @TheJusticeDept “Unless Mueller is ready to fight Barr in public, which he will not do, a rogue Attorney General is much more powerful than we commonly understand, and in fact has massive power to protect the guilty and prosecute the innocent.”

⏰IF #MUELLER AND HIS TEAM REMAIN SILENT, while their report is mischaracterized, used as propaganda, twisted into a COVER-UP @TheJusticeDept @FBI... then how are they any different from Trump & Barr? SPEAK UP! It's time to lose the boy scout, and to find the patriot within! RT
⏰FEAR! How are the @TheJusticeDept & @FBI dealing with all this? Everyone “just following orders?" Going along to get along? Is their allegiance to Trump, the @GOP, some ideology, or to the constitution? Are they powerless? Looking for excuses & pretexts to hide in the shadows?

Barr-Huber Meeting
On March 7, Barr had a notable meeting with Attorney John Huber of #Utah, who had been appointed as vice chair of the AG’s Advisory Committee by former AG @JeffSessions to investigate “all the allegations that the House Judiciary Committee members sent to us.”
Sessions wrote:
“Mr. Huber is conducting his work… in cooperation with the Inspector General. The additional matters raised… fall within the scope of his existing mandate, and I am confident that Mr. Huber’s review will include a full, complete, and objective evaluation…”

Media need to stop portraying Mueller as having failed to reach a 'conclusion'. The establishment of any crimes was SUBSIDIARY to the counterintelligence investigation. We need to know what Mueller found, not what he DID NOT FIND. #BarrCoverUp:
In his letter appointing the Special Counsel, #Rosenstein authorized #Mueller to "conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director James B. Comey" [in his testimony of 3/20/17]. Here is how #Comey characterized the investigation in that testimony: washingtonpost.com/news/post-poli…
#Barr is disingenuously attempting to frame #Mueller's findings as "binary". A blatant attempt at cover up. If #Mueller found any evidence POTUS or anyone in his campaign/admin was/is compromised we MUST know in order to ensure our #NationalSecurity.

Read the attorney general’s 4-page summary of Robert Mueller’s report on Russia, Trump campaign usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
From Attorney General William Barr’s letter summarizing the Mueller report: “The Special Counsel also referred several matters to other offices for further action. The report does not recommend any further indictments."
"The Special Counsel's investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election,” Barr wrote.
