I don’t know man… Like, in that video with Megan McCain, He’s not lying.
She says right there, the Mueller Report found “no collusion.” She doesn’t say Conspiracy, the actual crime that Trump would have been charged with.
But that offer, acceptance, and action (The Trump Tower meeting), that’s collusion.
I fully accept that Mueller couldn’t prove conspiracy, but don’t blame me that they bungled the hand-off. Their incompetence in no excuse.
AP FACT CHECK: Trump, Barr distort Mueller report findings
Allegations of “collusion” were not “proven false” in the Mueller investigation, nor was the issue of “collusion” addressed in the report.
The Mueller report said the investigation did not find a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, saying it had not collected sufficient evidence “to establish” or sustain criminal charges.
The report noted that some Trump campaign officials had declined to testify under the 5th Amendment or had provided false or incomplete testimony, making it difficult to get a complete picture of what happened during the 2016 campaign. The special counsel wrote that he
“cannot rule out the possibility” that unavailable information could have cast a different light on the investigation’s findings.
The report also makes clear the investigation did not assess whether “collusion” occurred because it is not a legal term. The investigation found multiple contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia, and the report said it established that “the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.”
