Barr: White House Offered Unfettered Access to Special Counsel Investigation, Did Not Obstruct Justice, No Executive Privilege Claimed
By: Town Hall, April 18, 2019:
Speaking to reporters at the Justice Department Thursday morning, Attorney General Bill Barr addressed questions about obstruction of justice during the Special Counsel investigation into the 2016 presidential election.
During his remarks, Barr argued that not only was there no obstruction of justice, but that the White House cooperated with every aspect of the probe, offered witnesses and provided requested documentation. During this section, he specifically cited the Mueller report.
“The White House fully cooperated with the Special Counsel’s investigation, providing unfettered access to campaign and White House documents, directing senior aides to testify freely, and asserting no privilege claims. And at the same time, the President took no act that in fact deprived the Special Counsel of the documents and witnesses necessary to complete his investigation,” Barr said. “Apart from whether the acts were obstructive, this evidence of non-corrupt motives weighs heavily against any allegation that the President had a corrupt intent to obstruct the investigation.”
Barr also provided context surrounding President Trump’s frustration with the probe, which he cooperated with anyway.
“In assessing the President’s actions discussed in the report, it is important to bear in mind the context. President Trump faced an unprecedented situation. As he entered into office, and sought to perform his responsibilities as President, federal agents and prosecutors were scrutinizing his conduct before and after taking office, and the conduct of some of his associates,” Barr said. “At the same time, there was relentless speculation in the news media about the President’s personal culpability. Yet, as he said from the beginning, there was in fact no collusion. And as the Special Counsel’s report acknowledges, there is substantial evidence to show that the President was frustrated and angered by a sincere belief that the investigation was undermining his presidency, propelled by his political opponents, and fueled by illegal leaks.”
When Barr released his four-page letter with the bottom line findings three weeks ago, the White House said President Trump would not assert executive privilege over the contents in the final report. That position still stands.
“Accordingly, the public report I am releasing today contains redactions only for the four categories that I previously outlined, and no material has been redacted based on executive privilege,” Barr said.
Shortly after the press conference ended, President Trump tweeted the following.

Thank God!
The only “collusion” and “conspiracy” in Trump’s campaign was to have a great team of people help him to get
elected.They all worked together to make that happen. All the illegal “collusion” and “conspiracy” is with the DEMS and the LIBERAL MEDIA!

Agree wholeheartedly! The only actual and proveable collusion during the 2016 campaign was among Hillary, the DNC, Perkins-Coie law firm, Fusion GPS, British ex-spy Christopher Steele, and Russian intel functionaries resulting in that phony “dossier” which the FBI used to obtain FISA warrants to conduct illegal surveillance of the Trump team.
Remember his moving his campaign HQ out of Trump Tower because he had been tipped off about wiretaps?

More proof that Hillaryous must be hanged. Bill should have the same fate too after we found out he sold the Chinese our missile technology. Not to mentioning raping a Juanita Broaderrick.

To all the commiecrats grasping at straws since their reliance on the Mueller witch hunt for an impeachable offense just got blown out of the water: You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t.
There is an old saying, if you put all your eggs in one basket, you had better watch that basket.
Game over!

THIS will not deter liberals. They will try to impeach Trump anyways. THAT IS WHO THEY ARE………….evil tyrants who don’t care about We, the People or even their constituents.
Congress hates Trump because he calls them out for who they really are, tyrants and liberals who lie and deceive the American people. Funny thing that most Congressional politicians become millionaires while they are serving. I wonder why that is. CASE IN POINT:

When any person calls out another for being greedy, anti-Constitutional, and biased, the greatest tactic they can use is to SHUT THAT PERSON DOWN BY DEFLECTING FROM THEMSELVES. That is a tactic used as described by SAUL ALINSKY, a hero of Hillary Clinton and liberals everywhere, to people like our President. ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK the person calling you out to deflect from the truth about yourself.
These Democrats are evil people.

Despite the Barr tap dance around the obvious, the report documents Trump’s repeated attempts to obstruct the Mueller probe.

What injustice was there to obstruct? The was no justice, just two years of disgraceful injustice that began with collusion between James Comey and Rod Rosenstein to bring down the president, with Robert Mueller an all too willing colluder. And this is America today, reduced to banana republic level by conspiratorial dregs within the disgusting FBI and DOJ and a trash leftist media that doesn’t possess one fibre of decency, moral impulse or honour. Even now these contemptible dregs of humanity, the John Kings, Jeffrey Toobins, Wolf Blitzers, Gloria Borgers, Danner Bashs of this world with their wondrously shallow panels continue their empty drivelling about “obstruction of justice”, refusing to acknowledge that they are party to depraved injustice.
