Nor his hair, nor his body type. Garrison likes to portray Trump as a buff blonde surfer-type. Says a lot more about Garrison than Trump. ;)

Just a trifling technicality.



SDNY is an office of the FBI, so if they have made new charges, they would be pardonable because they are still federal indictments.



However, there have been 16 charges made by the Manhattan DA, and those are pardon-proof NY State charges.

Are any of those charges for paying the Russians to queer the 2016 election?
 
One speculation I had was:

Suppose Mueller had sufficient evidence to indict, say, Don Jr. Might he have held off on doing so because he believed that Trump would immediately pardon Don Jr? Or would Mueller not be allowed to consider that sort of thing?
 
I figured it would be after the Sunday morning shows. There's now a whole 24 hours of free-for-all narrative weaving until the Monday night editorial shows tell us all what to think.
 
Multiple reports that Congress can expect the summary with minutes. Got to wonder if that's going to play out without the White House doing something to stop it.

Even though I can imagine a wide range of possibilities for what is the report I really can't imagine a scenario where Trump is going to like the report.
 
Nice inforgraphic at the end of this BBC article:

Mueller report: US Congress given key findings from Attorney General Barr

To summarize:
One person found guilty after trial
Six people plead guilty
27 people charged - that's Roger Stone plus 26 Russians.

The last item - 26 Russians charged, makes it clear that the investigation was anything but a nothingburger. Add to that the DOJ policy of not indicting a sitting president, and this report still has potential to be very, very damaging to Mr. Trump.

Irrelevant, Trump has been cleared of all charges. No collusion with Russia, No obstruction of justice.

Not quite.

Not enough evidence is not the same as no evidence. And, of course, you still have a criminal president. Be honest now, you know the Russia scandal was just a part of the criminal allegations against Trump.

Campaign finance crimes
Tax Fraud
Insurance fraud
Emoluments violations

Your president is a crook.
 
The summary also says Mueller did not find that the Trump campaign or its associates “conspired or coordinated” with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 election.

It didn't say that about obstruction of Justice.

You're lagging, The Attorney General William Barr was given the decision to determine whether or not obstruction of justice had occurred. He found none.
(I realize you likely know this by now as we are talking about breaking news as it happens)

No he hasn't or wasn't. It's also a summary provided by a partisan and not the actual report.
