Opinion: The questions about the Russia scandal we still need answered
AP Photo/Evan Vucci By Paul Waldman Paul Waldman Opinion writer covering politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 25 at 12:37 PM Though President Trump and his Republican allies are insisting that the report written by Robert S. Mueller III exonerates him, none of them have actually seen it; all we have to go on at the moment is Attorney General William P. Barr’s four-page memo, which appears to have been written to put Trump in the best possible light.
What is the full list of things Trump did that might have constituted obstruction of justice, and what’s the argument for why they don’t? Barr’s letter says Mueller declined to make a determination on whether the president obstructed justice, so Barr decided that he didn’t. Barr also says that most of Trump’s actions in this area have been publicly reported. That would have to include his urging then-FBI Director James B.
It’s almost as if all these people knew they had done something wrong and didn’t want to be discovered. What happened to the Trump campaign polling data Manafort passed to Kilimnik? Manafort gave Kilimnik, his associate who is widely believed to have strong links to Russian intelligence, the campaign’s polling data for a reason.
