1/ When Barr refers to “bogus Russiagate scandal,” House should ask him to read these quotes aloud from Mueller Report:
2/ “The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion.“
3/ “... a Russian entity carried out a social media campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.”
4/ “... the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts ...”
5/ “The presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump showed interest in WikiLeaks’s release of documents and welcomed their potential to damage candidate Clinton.”
6/ “The social media campaign and the GRU hacking operations coincided with a series of contacts between Trump Campaign officials and individuals with ties to the Russian government.”
7/ "... inv’n established that several individuals affiliated with the Trump Campaign lied to the Office & Congress about their interactions with Russian-affiliated individuals & related matters. Those lies materially impaired the investigation of Russian election interference."
8/ “... if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards however, we are unable to reach that judgment.”
9/ “... while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”
