NBCs Ken Dilanian Reports That Members of Muellers Team Think Evidence of Collusion is Very Compellingby Aidan McLaughlin | Apr 4th, 2019, 2:08 pm
-snip-
NBC confirmed reporting from the New York Times and Washington Post that special counsel investigators were taking issue with Barrs characterization of their findings on obstruction, but their reporting had more details about those frustrations.
I think weve taken it a little further, Dilanian said of his reporting, during an appearance on MSNBC. There are members of Muellers team who are frustrated that William Barr stepped in and cleared the president on obstruction when Robert Mueller didnt do that.
The intent was to allow Congress and the public to make their own decision about the evidence, Dilanian said.
Dilanian also revealed new reporting that some on the special counsels team are frustrated by how evidence of collusion was represented.
Were hearing from a separate U.S. official that some members of the Mueller team say that the evidence on collusion, while not establishing a criminal conspiracy, is actually very compelling.
Some of it may be classified, but to the extent we get to see it, Muellers report talks about those contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia, and raises the issue as to whether the Trump campaign was manipulated by a sophisticated Russian intelligence operation, Dilanian added. We need to see the report. The Barr summary, by many accounts, did not quite do it justice.

OP
They think the President cannot commit a crime...so it was impossible to accuse him of anything

And slam the prison door

Pardon me if I take Dilanian with high skepticism. He's been played in the past. Recent past.

criminal.
That doesn't mean something criminal didn't happen, and it is up to Congress to decide if his actions, while not subject to indictment, are worthy of impeachment.
