On Thursday, April 19, the US Department of Justice released a censored version of the 448-page report by Robert Mueller, the Special Counsel for Investigating alleged collusion of Trump election campaign team with Russia in the course of 2016 US elections, which announced the definitive evidence based on which President Donald Tramp has obstructed justice several times during Mueller's inquiry.
In the censored report, the results of the 22-month work of the Mueller’s legal team indicate that the Russian government has been widely involved in the 2016 presidential election, and there have been links to the Donald Trump’s election campaign and Russia, but according to US attorney general Barr, Trump and his associates have not coordinated during election campaign with the Russian government.
“If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state,” Mueller writes. “We are unable to reach such a judgment.”
While, in the censored report that the legal team of the president called it 'full victory,' some of the allegations against Trump have not been proven, the other issues mentioned in the report and the reactions to it have led the president, who, before the release of Muller's report, described good days for himself, again, to start a series of heavy attacks against his democratic rivals.
According to the CNN TV Network, Trump’s advisers, one day before the release of Mueller’s report, were worried that the release of details that confirmed the disturbance at the White House, makes the US President angry.
The subject of Trump's worry and anger is this part of Muller's report that the president is angry, disappointed, and saddened in his response to the formation of Council / Special Inquiry Commission on his relationship with Russia.
Based on Mueller’s report , “when Former US Attorney General Jeff Sessions told the President that a Special Counsel had been appointed, the President slumped back in his chair and said, 'O h my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I' m fucked.' The President became angry and lambasted the Attorney General for his decision to recuse from the investigation, stating, 'How could you let this happen, Jeff? It takes years and years and I won't be able to do anything. This is the worst thing that ever happened to me.'
President Donald Trump describes Robert Mueller report as crazy, fabricated and written by 18 angry Democrats who hates him, in a tweet.
** Democrats' reaction
The context of Robert Mueller’s report of Trump obstructing justice in the course of his inquiry, including the firing of Former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director James Comey, and pressure on former US Attorney General Jeff Sessions to get involved in the case has led Democrats in the House of Representatives to place a binding demand to the Attorney General William Barr to deliver the uncensored version of the report, along with the documents referred to in the Mueller’s report, by May 1.
A deadline to the Justice Department was one day before the Attorney General's presence in the Judicial Committee for commenting on the report.
According to Democrats in Congress, the full text of Mueller’s report is contrary to the statements that the Attorney General had previously made. The US Justice Secretary had previously published a four-page summary of Mueller’s report, which the Democrats described as 'misleading and biased in favor of Donald Tramp' and said that he had deceived Congress.
Gerald Nedler, a New York Democrat and chairman of the House of Lords Judiciary, also said he was interacting with the Justice Department to obtain evidence of a full Muller report. He pointed to the legislative, oversight and oversight of the constitution committee, and stated that he would not accept any proposal without a text without editing this report.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) repeatedly slammed Trump Attorney General William Barr as a “biased” individual whose characterization of Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s investigation cannot be trusted.
He pointed to the legislative duty of the committee to supervise and take care of the constitution, and stated that he would not accept any proposal without unedited text of this report.
The US Justice Department's justification for removing parts of the report was 'Damage to Current Investigations' and 'Privacy Violations', but the chairman of the House of Representatives' Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler has emphasized the importance of removed sections to understand the results of the report.
Other actions by Democrat of The House of Representatives include summoning Robert Mueller to the Judiciary committee to answer questions about the case. '
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer: two of the Senior Democratic Representatives in the House and Senate on Thursday, following the release of the report, asked Robert Mueller to testify on for Russia's involvement in the US presidential election of 2016 publicly about his investigation.
They also criticized the prosecutor for releasing redacted summary and holding a news conference before the release of Mueller's report.
The position of other Democrats in the House of Representatives, regarding Mueller's report, is to track the charge of Trump in obstructing justice.
A part of Mueller's report has referred to the details of the talk between Trump with White House counsel Don McGahn after Mueller starts his work that the president had ordered McGahn to oust Mueller.
In his report, Mueller refused to prosecute the president of the United States on charges of obstructing justice and, of course, not acquitting him leaving the decision to Congress.
Experts say Mueller’s decision on not acquitting Trump and dropping the ball into the court of Congress would mean that Robert Mueller preferred not to enter showdown with the presidential team because it may fail his investigation.
In part of Mueller's report refers that Trump's written answers were not sufficient, but because he did not use the power to issue a summons to force the president to interview by the investigators, Mueller said to the Congress indirectly, he did not answer the question and you can follow the answer.
** Impeachment, plan of ardent critics
The criticism of the behavior of the president and his campaign after the release of Mueller's report continues, as some Republican representatives have criticized Tramp's actions.
According to Reuters report, Senator Mitt Romney expresses 'disgust' for Donald Trump and his entourage, Romney reportedly quoted Reuters as quoting Mitt Romney, senior senator and Republican presidential candidate for 2012 presidential election. Also, a number of Senate Democrats, who are rival opponents of the president, are looking for a way to clarify Mueller's report through the impeachment of the Tramp.
According to Mueller's report, Romney expresses 'disgust' for Donald Trump and his entourage, because they were not honest.
Also, a number of Senate Democrats, who are ardent opponents of the president, are looking for a way to clarify Muller's report through the impeachment of the Trump.
'Obstructing Justice' is one of the major accusations of the President of the United States that Democrats believe that they can impeach Trump.
With regard to the 10 issues raised by Mueller's report on Trump's obstructing justice in investigations and the request of the Democrats for a full release of the report and the prosecutor's presence in the Judiciary Committee to determine the hidden aspects of the report, the president of the United States is expected to face awful days ahead and this fear will turn into horror when these actions find way to the impeachment of Trump.
