in the hour of triumph the entrance of Donald trump supporters landed in the post a E-Mail, sent to the campaign headquarters of U.S. President. “Friend,” it means, “the witch-hunt investigation is coming to an end: no conspiracy, no obstruction of Justice!” According to some, an essential part in capital letters, written records, Trump comes to the point: The “friend” may, however, make a Deposit, please make a donation to his campaign account. Now the question against the Democrats, “harder and better to fight back than ever before”. During the last two years, Russia-investigation by the special investigator Robert Mueller like a dark cloud over the President, on Sunday evening, it has warped. Now Trump is using the verdict for the counter-attack.

“No collusion”, not a conspiracy: From the defiant Mantra, Trump defended for so long, had become overnight a Slogan for his re-election, wrote the “Washington Post” on Monday. This is true, it is likely to be quite good. Since may of 2017, many of those Americans who reject Trump had seen in the untouchables special investigator, a light figure, an avenging angel that would come to hunt in their eyes, illegitimate President from the White house. And always, if you are saddened by the news, time and again, comforted you, that Mueller will ensure that Trump get his punishment. “Honey, come to bed, Mueller has the handle on it,” says a Cartoon of the New Yorker, which was shared on social media thousands of times.

a valuable seal of approval

Now the Wind has turned. That Mueller has documented in his study, a large number of contacts between members of the Trump campaign, and Russia, but no evidence for criminal collusion took place, serves Trump now as a seal of quality, as a “political Gold” as the “Wall Street Journal” called. Already, the Republicans have produced a campaign video, in which you Mueller’s findings with several of the statements of democratic politicians against cutting, who had complained of a conspiracy. Mueller as a choice of helper for Trump.

The President and his allies are already passed, to demand an investigation on why the U.S. Department of justice have ever used a special investigator, where it has always been clear was that no misconduct Trumps. It was an illegal attempt to force him from office, had failed, Trump said on Sunday. “This investigation is shameful, as it is the people aware,” said his attorney Rudy Giuliani in the TV channel Fox News. The presenter, Laura Ingraham claimed on Twitter that a lot of people “need to go to jail”. That at the beginning of the establishment of the special investigator is not an intrigue of the “deep state” but trump’s dismissal of FBI Director James Comey – the looks of this stock a long time otherwise.

President, the Trump see himself as a “completely relieved”. Special investigator Robert Mueller’s investigation revealed no evidence of cooperation with Russia.

after the conclusion of Mueller’s investigation, much remains unclear. The Democrats feel that the question of whether Trump had hindered the education of the judiciary, is not answered in Mueller’s report is clear. The supposedly several Hundred pages of a long document is still not public. Well-known is the four-page summary, the U.S. attorney General William Barr presented on Sunday evening, the Congress is the only. In it, he writes that Mueller’ve worn both evidence for and against a obstruction of Justice, however, to a conclusion waived. What Mueller joined, don’t know you. According to Barr’s evidence are “not sufficient for a justice to determine disability by the President”.

Minister of justice, Barr had already in the summer of the investigation for “MIS-guided”.

the Democrats Barr do not want to take their word for it, has to do with its history. Already last summer – before he was Minister of justice in conversation – had sent the Republican lawyer of the US government without being asked for a legal opinion, in which he pointed out that he considered the investigation of a possible obstruction of Justice, in principle, for “misguided”. Barr had been prejudiced masses, and therefore the Democrats. He had shot a “hasty, politically colored Interpretation of the facts” fascinating, said Jerry Nadler, the Chairman of the judiciary Committee in the house of representatives. The Opposition also reiterated their demand that the entire report of Mueller’s must be published, including by the special investigators collected evidence, which served him as a basis.

It is well possible that the Democrats pushed in Mueller’s report on things, the Trump preparing new problems. It is also possible that the many other criminal investigations, directly or indirectly, against the President pending, promote new allegations to light.

533’000 article

Nevertheless, after the discharge by Mueller in the Central question of a cooperation with Russia, a lot of things differently. “Trump now has something like a vaccination against all of the other charges, because he was able to prove his innocence,” said presidential historian Douglas Brinkley in the Washington Post. And he could now be dismissed, a fortiori, all questions in this direction as an invention of the Democrats and the media.

it has Actually begun in the media, there is already a debate about whether the often obsessive handling of the Russia-affair was justified. According to a census, the analysis firm Newswhip since may of 2017, more than 533 were asked’000 articles on the Russia-affair on the Internet. That no week passed without Watergate comparisons and Impeachment-Calls, did not bother, only those in the right camp, the dismiss anyway, any Trump-criticism as a Fake News. The Reputation of the American media have suffered a severe stroke, wrote with the Journalist Matt Taibbi, who works for the left-liberal magazine “Rolling Stone”. “A large part of the population no longer believe the future accusations against Trump now.” It also Trump. Mueller’s investigation may not be to the end of the dispute to it for a long time.
