So, there are two words that always need to be kept at the forefront when discussing anything like this...intent and precedent.

They will continue to come up as we hear about this and they have been coming up all through the last two years.

I don't want to compose a long post here so I am going to just point to a few things in the event that Pat or Marc read this.

1. This report shows without question that Trump had intent to break the law, over and over and over and over again. He had intent to obstruct justice, over and over and over and over and over again.

2. It shows he lied about what he was doing, over and over and over and over again.

3. It shows that several laws were not broken ONLY BECAUSE people disobeyed Trumps orders when he asked them to do things that were way out of bounds.

4. It shows Bill Barr intentionally attempted to mislead the American people and openly lied about what is in the report both in his initial written summary and then his outrageous bogus news conference on the day he released the redacted report.

5. It shows a pattern of potential criminal activity in the 14 referrals to other prosecutors listed in the report, 12 of which we do not yet know what they involve because that information was part of what was redacted.

Mueller specifically states in the report that it is Congress that needs to address the president's abuse of his office and authority and that he will make no such finding.

He clearly sets the standard for the report at exonerate or not exonerated when it comes to Trump. This is explained right at the start of the report and that if they could exonerate Trump with what they found they would state in the report he was exonerated.

The report states that due to the evidence they uncovered Trump could not be exonerated. It lays out the evidence and substantial information pointing to Trump's intent to make it clear that Congress now needs to address Trump's abuses and assess them as high crimes and misdemeanors that require impeachment proceedings.

This is what the report finds. Because Mueller's findings on Trump were he was not exonerated this means it is now the job of the Congress, their oversight function, to now have a series of hearings about the evidence in the report and move to impeachment proceedings if they determine Trump abused the office and his powers.

According to the Mueller report, he did, numerous times. We have a clear path to impeachment.

This is also in part why all findings and evidence in the report need to be presented to Congress without redactions.
