#SusanCollins 10-7-19: #Barr was right to determine "the President had not broken the law" b/c #Mueller didn't weigh in on obstruction. In fact, Mueller's Vol 2 is entirely devoted to the case against Trump on multiple obstruction charges (see below). #TheyKnew #mepolitics thread 
In a letter to me dated 10/7/2019, #SusanCollins claimed that #Mueller didn't determine whether Trump obstructed justice.
In fact, Mueller writes, "If we had confidence ... that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state."

#SusanCollins, like #Barr, lied about the contents of Vol 2 of the #Mueller Report. It was entirely & explicitly devoted to preserving evidence of Trump's obstruction while memories were fresh so that future prosecutors would have it available after he leaves office.
It took me more than a dozen contacts with #SusanCollins's office across more than 6 months to get a letter answering 1 question: Does she agree w/ #Barr's assessment that Trump didn't obstruct justice?
Answer: Yes.
Answer: Yes.
On the right in each of these 3 images is a screenshot of #Mueller Vol 2, Table of Contents, where he lays out specific evidence that can be used in court to bring charges against Trump for obstruction of justice.
On the left is #SusanCollins trying to cover up #Barr's cover up.

#SusanCollins is on the Intel Committee. #SheKnew more than #Mueller about Manafort's ties to a Russian spy, Trump's lies about Wikileaks & #RogerStone, & Putin's direct role in the 2016 attack.
But to this day she won't tell #Maine voters if she supports Trump's reelection.
