U.S. Attorney General William Barr departs after speaking at a news conference to discuss Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential race, in Washington, U.S., April 18.Frustration, anger, bafflement and glee. That’s what spread across U.S. TV news on Thursday morning as Attorney-General William Barr offered a good-news spin on the Mueller report – and then the actual report was released.
On CNN, a glum-looking Wolf Blitzer kicked off the post-Barr news conference with, “And there you have it, almost complete vindication of the President.” The look on his face said, “I don’t feel very well now." The upshot on Fox News was that the Trump White House is filled with Boy Scouts caught up in this bizarre investigation. Then, well before the actual report was even issued, Bret Baier, keen to insert politics and wave away legal what-ifs, asked rhetorically if Mueller knew there was “no collusion” before the midterm election and, if so, hadn’t he then interfered in the body politic?
On NBC, anchor Lester Holt was seizing on certain details. He happened to have Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow on hand. “Why didn’t the President testify personally?” Holt asked. Sekulow, enjoying himself and quoting The Rolling Stones, of all people, asserted that Trump at that time was “in a crossfire hurricane.” Holt looked more baffled than usual. “Lets talk about the American public,” he continued and Sekulow merely grinned.
GlobeArts Who cares? Report on the obvious proof that Trudeau committed “Obstruction of Justice” and that he used the Liberal Majority in Parliament to stop any investigation of it - pointing out that they are continuing to commit Obstruction of Justice over and over. whereistheRCMP?
GlobeArts The investigation is done-and nothing-start the investigation into the Dems, FBI , Hillary and Obama on Monday
GlobeArts The Mueller report didn't 'land'. This was a Trump press release. Not worth the time or bandwidth that media has given it.
GlobeArts Only would leftists be angry that there was no crimes committed. When your wild goose is a figment of your imagination and you start to cry when you figure out it was never real.

GlobeArts Obviously, the writer did not read the report.
