Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into President Donald Trump’s campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia has found no evidence of criminal conspiracy between the president’s team and Moscow. The investigation, which President Donald Trump called a “witch hunt”, found no evidence that Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russia. However, the report raised questions about why Trump associates and then-candidate Trump repeatedly asserted Trump had no connections to Russia.
The Justice Department stated that Mueller’s investigation did not find sufficient evidence that Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the United States. The question remains whether Mueller’s team will find evidence that the Trump campaign agreed to work with WikiLeaks or the Russian government. Attorney General William Barr stated that the special counsel did not take a clear position on whether the president obstructed justice.
Mueller deputy Aaron Zebley explains why his team didn’t indict the president. Andrew Weissmann, a senior member of the special counsel’s team, has written an alarming and necessary book. The Robert Mueller special counsel investigation was an investigation into 45th U.S. president Donald Trump regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election. Attorney General William Barr’s summary of the Mueller report stated that President Trump and his campaign were involved in the Russian interference. However, the actual report is damning, as it found no evidence of collusion or the basis for an obstruction of justice charge.

Trump’s inauguration was celebrated jubilantly in Moscow, where Putin supporter Konstantin Rykov hosted an all-night party. Champagne flowed as an interpreter narrated the new U.S. president’s speech. In Washington, the Russian Embassy tweeted, “Happy #InaugurationDay2017!” with a photo of people gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial. The optimism was part of a larger embrace by Russia of Trump’s “America First” outlook, which emphasizes U.S. business interests and national security over promoting freedom and democracy, said Ilya Zaslavskiy, a researcher who has worked with the Hudson Institute’s Kleptocracy Initiative. Amid a busy schedule in Washington, Titov — who was appointed by Putin to serve as a business ombudsman — told a Russian television station that new investment was likely to flow to Russia once the Obama era U.S. sanctions were lifted. Businesses “are waiting for this signal, and they believe it will soon come,” he said
On February 21, 1975, Nixon’s AG, John Mitchell, who was represented by the criminal defense attorney William G. Hundley, was found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury and sentenced to two and a half to eight years in prison for his role in the Watergate break-in and cover-up!
