Dem Rep. Jerry Nadler Gets the Facts Wrong on Russia Probe
« on: March 26, 2019, 03:23:51 AM »
"Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, misrepresented the facts regarding two key moments in the special counsel’s investigation of President Donald Trump and his campaign...

'Hours after Nadler’s interview on CNN, Attorney General William P. Barr sent Congress a four-page letter that summarized Mueller’s confidential report. Quoting from Mueller’s report, Barr said: “As the report states: ‘[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.'”

As for possible obstruction of justice, Barr told Congress Mueller’s report “did not draw a conclusion … as to whether the examined conduct constituted obstruction.” Barr wrote, “The Special Counsel states that ‘while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.’”

Barr said he and Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein concluded that there wasn’t enough evidence to show the president had “committed an obstruction-of-justice offense.”'
