No Collusion But Democrats Continue to Attack
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russia interference in the 2016 election is finished.

No collusion and no obstruction of justice are the headlines.

Despite the results, Democrats are going to continue to attack President Trump.
Democrats are demanding a full release of the Mueller report and they want Barr to testify.

California Senator Kamala Harris also wants to see the entire report and criticized Barr, saying, “A short letter from Trump’s hand-picked Attorney General is not sufficient.”
President Trump described the investigation as “a complete and total exoneration.”
