Listening to media outlets' consistent descriptions of the redacted report, it sounds like:
a. The investigation has never been about collusion - that is something Trump and his lapdogs (most of the republican party) kept on saying. We already knew that.
b. Trump did obstruct justice, if Trump's actions and requests for his staff to, for example, fire Mueller or take other actions, in of itself, amount to obstructing justice, even though his staff or aids did not heed his requests. Trump's lucky in that regard.
c. Mueller thinks congress should decide if Trump or his campaign obstructed justice.
d. Don Jr. did commit criminal acts, but he was too stupid to know what he was doing, so he's probably ok.
e. Russia did try to interfere with the 2016 election, which Trump vehemently denied.
Sounds like a legit. investigation with some pretty disturbing findings against Trump. (and that was the unredacted part - makes one wonder what's in the redacted sections) This is truly a new low standard for an elected official -not to mention that President. The fact that a sitting president and those around him were investigated in this context, alone, and many were convicted of crimes, should bring every American citizen pause. The fact that a sitting President and his inner circle were not fully exonerated from committing insanely stupid acts, alone, should make every American citizen wonder why impeachment proceedings are not starting as we speak.
Actually, most American citizens are wondering how stupid progs can get. There appears to be no bottom to it.
