The first question: conspired Trump with Putin to win the election in 2016?
No, says Mueller.
Or more precisely: the Mueller found no evidence that Trumpkampanjen would have committed any violation of law which aimed at collusion or conspiracy with Russia.
Mueller has had access to 19 lawyers and 40 FBI agents. He has enquired of 500 people and set out an equal number of the search warrant.

If not Mueller – professional, experienced, fearless – has managed to find evidence of the conspiracy during the 22 months of persistent work learn no other do it either.
conspiracy from Trumps hold will probably hereby be deemed simply done – a future hobby for privatspanare.
The second question still hangs in the air: tried to Trump put a spanner in the wheel when the FBI started investigating him and his presidential campaign?
In this important issue to refrain Mueller from to draw a conclusion. It is unusual for a special investigator, and unsatisfactory to the american people.
But it is obviously difficult to assess legally as to whether Trump has ”obstructed justice,” attempted to stop the course of justice. Why difficult? Well, Trump has opposed the FBI, Mueller and former minister of justice, Jeff Session in public, before the open light.
FBI director James Comey on the sly. He harassed not his former lawyer Michael Cohen, in a dimmed parking garage. He bullied not (just) Jeff Sessions during the closed regeringssammanträden. He did it on Twitter, on live tv, and was often quite open with his motives behind the attacks: he was driven by anger for the ongoing Rysslandsutredningen.
The shameless transparency seems to, paradoxically, have aided the Trump. Transparency makes it more difficult to establish that there would be a hidden intention behind the documents, which is a criterion, a criterion, for the crime.
Martin Gelin: the Speculations are only set to continue
so far as to absolve the Trump on that point. Despite the fact that the evaluator has had two years to think about and a dream team of qualified colleagues to take counsel with. Instead, choose Mueller to forward the question, first to the department of justice but in the future perhaps also to the congress and ultimately the american people.
this is Precisely why it is so important for the political opposition to find out how Mueller actually has resonated in the report. The issue of ”an obstruction of justice” seems perhaps not as exciting as the conspiracy with Russia. But it has political force. Bill Clinton faced impeachment because of ”an obstruction of justice” and Richard Nixon would have done the same if he had first resigned as president.
which determines how much of the report will be made available. Barr is considered to be a skilled lawyer, hårdhudad with long political experience. But he is far from being the same confidence in the Democrats as Mueller.
for several reasons. Both Barr burdened by a memo he wrote before he was nominated for attorney general, where he over 19 pages of arguments about whether the president can make himself guilty of ”an obstruction of justice”. The findings have been described as ” bizarre”. Barr believes, according to a certain interpretation of the text, that the presidents can not make themselves guilty of the crime because ”the president” is not explicitly mentioned in the text.
William Barr quickly drawn conclusions of Muellerrapporten also raises suspicions. Mueller investigated in 22 months and still could not give definitive answers. Barr needed only two days – a weekend – in order to absolve the Trump, which he did in a fyrasidigt letter to congress sent in Sunday night.
Barr’s assessment until they got to evaluate the dossier. But to request the entire report at the same time to stop the process, because it must first cast off. A possible publication would also likely be opposed by the White house. Ultimately, the issue would probably end up in the Supreme court and drag out. Barr’s conclusions until further notice.
Probably will the committee on justice of the house of representatives to force William Barr and/or Robert Mueller to testify as witnesses. The democrats would question Barr why he, unlike Mueller acquits the president of the republic, and in what ways that Trump tried to thwart the investigation. The majority of attempts to ”an obstruction of justice” has been done in the open light, but it is clear from Barr’s summary to some påverkansförsök may not have been previously known.
Trump himself perceives himself now as fully acquitted. A more conventional politicians had taken the opportunity and lectured Putin, as Mueller confirms that Russia tried to influence the american election results. But that fact seems not to worry the Trump, which, ultimately, is interested in himself.
