Here are key takeaways from the redacted Mueller report:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Quote from NDP Chair Jane Kleeb:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a fact that Russia meddled in our elections to undermine our Democracy, and yet President Trump continues to praise Russian President Vladimir Putin,\u201d Kleeb said. \u201cThe Mueller report examined 10 episodes of obstruction of justice. Congress must do its job of getting the full report and not taking the Cliffs Notes version offered by Attorney General Barr. Nebraskans expect Rep. Bacon and the rest of the delegation to put aside their loyalty to Trump in this next phase of the process.\u201d<\/p>\n BARR MISLED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: <\/b>Barr\u2019s cherry-picked summary that said the Trump campaign did not coordinate with Russia left out a key part that suggests the Trump campaign was willing to collude with Russia.<\/p>\n ABUNDANT EVIDENCE OF OBSTRUCTION: <\/b>Mueller\u2019s report made clear that the Special Counsel did not by any stretch of the imagination exonerate Trump of obstruction of justice.<\/p>\n TRUMP TRIED TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE:<\/b> Trump \u201cengaged in efforts to curtail the Special Counsel\u2019s investigation\u201d and although he was unsuccessful in obstructing justice, it was not for a lack of trying.<\/p>\n TRUMP CAMPAIGN SHARED POLLING INFO WITH RUSSIANS: <\/b>Paul Manafort shared internal polling with a Russian agent for \u201cmonths\u201d and discussed campaign strategy for winning votes in the Midwest with him.<\/p>\n TRUMP KNEW ABOUT WIKILEAKS: <\/b>Trump had advance notice that WikiLeaks would release more damaging information before they put it out, and directed his campaign to find Hillary Clinton\u2019s deleted emails.<\/p>\n TRUMP SAYS JUMP, RUSSIAN SPIES SAY HOW HIGH: <\/b>Trump asked Russia to find Hillary Clinton\u2019s missing emails. Five hours later, Russia tried to hack Hillary Clinton\u2019s personal office.<\/p>\n CONGRESS MUST CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE: <\/b>Mueller left the question of obstruction of justice to Congress, who will continue their investigations to get to the bottom of Trump\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n RELEASE THE FULL UNREDACTED REPORT:<\/b> Despite this report only being \u201clightly redacted,\u201d it\u2019s clear there is still a lot we don\u2019t know. The full unredacted report must be released to Congress.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
