I have created one thread here in the hope that we can contain discussion with it and not create a bunch of threads.

What are your thoughts?

I think that Trump and the people he surrounds himself with lie a lot.  So much so that they lie when they don't even have to.  Rather than be forthright from the beginning they chose to deny things (meetings, contacts, etc) that they should have been up front about as they have now been shown to not be "collusion".

I'm glad that there is some closure there also.  

I still think many of the people involved are dirty conmen who are bad for the country.  But (so far) many of them have done nothing that is provably illegal.

On the obstruction I think congress will have to see what was found.  For some reason (his previous letters) I don't trust Barr's decisions.  But as of right now he had the final word.

The argument that since there was no provable collusion then the POTUS couldn't have obstructed is not the strongest argument I'd think he could make given that the report itself did not exonerate Trump.  (Although I've often asked how one gets arrested for "resisting arrest" if there was nothing to arrest them for in the first place too.)

In the end it was a fair report that was completed without any interference by the DOJ from what I can see.

Now we can get back to focusing on all the other awful, bad (possibly illegal) things that DJT does out in the open.  

All kidding aside I wish the president could say the same, but he will use this as a way to raise money and to bash all his "enemies" rather than moving on in a classy way.  So we're back to business as usual.
