SHARYL ATTKISSON<\/strong> – April 27, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that Special Counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s investigation into \nRussia collusion and interference in the 2016 election has concluded, \nthere are new questions about alleged obstruction. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Were President Trump\u2019s actions obstructive in nature? Or the justified protestations of an innocent man?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following is an excerpt of an article by John Solomon in The Hill. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Thousands of interviews and hundreds of subpoenas later, special counsel Robert Mueller<\/a> broke his two-year Wizard of Oz-like silence on Thursday in the form of a 448-page report<\/a> that formally dropped the curtain on the bad political musical we\u2019ve come to know as the Russian collusion scandal.<\/p>


Let the record reflect that Mueller wasted little time debunking the feigned electoral love affair between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump<\/a> that so many Democrats and their allies in the news media sang to life.<\/p>

With little equivocation, the prosecutor declared that Russia did interfere in the 2016 election<\/a>, including by hacking presidential nominee Hillary Clinton<\/a> and Democratic National Committee documents, but there was no evidence, none, that the president or his campaign \u2014 or any American, for that matter \u2014 engaged in the conspiracy.\u00a0<\/p>


To The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC and other media outlets that fanned the Russia collusion narrative \u2014 and to congressional Democrats such as Rep. Adam Schiff<\/a> (D-Calif.) who insisted there was secret evidence to support it<\/a> \u2014 I refer you to this declaration in Mueller\u2019s report:<\/p>

\u00a0
\u201cIn sum, the investigation established multiple links between Trump Campaign officials and individuals tied to the Russia government. Those links included Russian offers of assistance to the Campaign. In some instances the Campaign was receptive to the offers, while in other instances the Campaign officials shied away. Ultimately, the investigation did not establish that the Campaign coordinated or conspired with the Russian government in its election-interference activities.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
