- 00:44:55 Retweeted @Kasparov63 00:11:19 As with Trump’s power grabs post-election, there is a lot of work to do so that the letter of the law matches the spirit of the law. If winning an election after asking for and receiving the aid of a hostile foreign power isn’t illegal, it sure as hell should be. in reply to Kasparov63
- 01:05:35 Retweeted @jasoncherkis 00:46:38 I don’t get the idea that the media did wrong here. 1) We haven’t see the Mueller report and 2) the vast majority of stories exposed serious wrongdoing and questionable behavior. The reporting on Manafort and Co. has been illuminating and vital.
- 01:12:34 Retweeted @chrisinsilico 01:00:15 Whatever this report says, here’s what I know: when I was at Cambridge Analytica, the company hired known Russian agents, had data researchers in St Petersburg, tested US voter opinion on Putin’s leadership, and hired hackers from Russia – all while Bannon was in charge.

- 04:20:59 Retweeted @jon_rauch 01:21:58 Yes, I too am relieved. With the caveat: Mueller did not find _illegal_ collusion. What we have known for months amounts to immoral and unpatriotic (but apparently legal) collaboration. Trump et al. welcomed a foreign attack on our law and constitution. #”ILoveIt” @Peter_Wehner https://t.co/zaxipO8iQ6

- 05:53:11 Retweeted @AriMelber 05:32:05 Bob Mueller ran a thorough investigation that busted a crime spree by Trump advisers, and also found no chargeable collusion — the rule of law requires accepting these outcomes. https://t.co/5VBSCahIHn

The letter… upended the news cycle and soon halved Clinton’s lead in the polls, imperiling her position in the Electoral College.” https://t.co/IJwXqYM4sA
- 06:26:45 Retweeted @RepAdamSchiff 2019-03-24 23:53:39 Mueller did not find sufficient evidence to establish conspiracy, notwithstanding Russian offers to help Trump’s campaign, their acceptance, and a litany of concealed interactions with Russia.I trust Mueller’s prosecutorial judgement, but the country must see the evidence. in reply to RepAdamSchiff
- 06:37:36 Retweeted @normative 05:24:32 Two predictions, because why not: (1) The full report is significantly less flattering to Trump & the campaign than the summary, and (2) Fallout from the Mueller probe, via investigations farmed out to other offices, continues for months or years.
- 06:38:23 Retweeted @normative 05:33:11 Corrolary: The idea that the submission of the report constituted some kind of cloud lifting/game changing/chapter closing is going to seem a bit silly in six months. Very little will change, beyond the replacement of the name “Mueller” in headlines. in reply to normative

Right warring against the media and calling for investigations into Hillary, Comey & Obama
- 07:38:34 Retweeted @JoyceWhiteVance 02:56:11 Still trying to understand what “did not establish” collusion means. We’ll have to see Mueller’s full report to know. It could mean there was virtually no evidence. It could also mean there was a lot but not quite proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The difference is significant.
- 13:48:45 Retweeted @jmclaughlinSAIS 12:56:55 My quick take on Mueller/Barr. There is still much to learn and clarify, but Trump opponents need to avoid going down the rabbit hole of relitigating the report. Focus now on his poor presidential & policy performance, where his vulnerability is enormous. https://t.co/IIYFnkqoXB
- 13:49:37 Retweeted @EsotericCD 13:37:00 Because he’s a crap President who is a sucker for anyone who flatters his vanity? And he thinks he can ‘negotiate’ if he doesn’t contradict someone in public? Seems pretty simple to me. https://t.co/NDTwtyoO98
- 14:01:22 Retweeted @DavidCornDC 12:49:38 Russia attacked the 2016 election to help Trump. His campaign signaled Moscow it was fine with that, and Trump also lied about the attack and helped Putin get away with it. And most Republicans and conservatives don’t give a damn. This is sad and troubling.
- 14:02:52 Retweeted @waltshaub 2019-03-24 22:51:33 The only people buying the “total and complete exoneration” spin are the people who don’t care if he commits crimes in the first place.

Phew.
- 14:09:33 Retweeted @matthewjdowd 14:02:07 Democrats would be wise to nominate the opposite of president Trump on tone, civility, and integrity. They should look for the candidate who is a humble servant leader who speaks truth and acts with integrity and treats all with dignity. That is strongest candidate versus Trump.

- 14:23:06 Retweeted @petridishes 2019-03-24 21:08:46 I feel like it’s “COMPLETE AND TOTAL EXONERATION” in the sense that you sometimes see a review quoted as “…THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE” when the full sentence reads “it would be a mistake to call this вЂthe best movie ever made’”
- 14:28:47 Retweeted @RadioFreeTom 13:57:29 First thing I said to Lynn when we caught the news here in Switzerland. “Didn’t Rudy already cop to this part?”
Once again, suggests that Mueller was more conservative about what he thought he could charge, when the Trump people already assumed they were bagged. https://t.co/89kq9qDFDz - 14:39:43 Retweeted @nycsouthpaw 14:25:40 In your writing, please distinguish between “no evidence” and “not enough evidence to make a finding.” https://t.co/AILZQ64A4F https://t.co/3fnVpDcOiN
- 14:40:22 Retweeted @jayrosen_nyu 14:25:37 @soledadobrien I was up until 2 am brooding on it. You can feel the collective mind of the press saying, “it’s over,” which means — for that group — the Barr letter is the report. Individual journalists may realize this is unwise and inaccurate, but they can feel the group mind forming too. in reply to soledadobrien
