Mueller Report Analysis: Yes, There Was Collusion and Obstruction of Justice

Posted by Scott Lucas | Apr 19, 2019 | 1

Donald Trump with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak after the firing of FBI Director James Comey, White House, May 10, 2017

18 minutes to explain the details and significance of the 400+ pages of the Mueller Report:

1. Yes, Trump campaign and transition colluded with Russians or their intermediaries such as WikiLeaks.

2. Yes, Trump obstructed or tried to obstruct justice on *eight* occasions.

3. Now it’s a political battle of spin and distortion (Trump’s camp and Attorney General William Barr) vs. the reality of the report.
