    AP FACT CHECK: Trump, Barr distort Mueller report findings
    By HOPE YENMay 1, 2019

    A look at the claims:

    TRUMP: “NO COLLUSION, NO OBSTRUCTION.” — tweet Wednesday.

    BARR: “The evidence is now that the president was falsely accused of colluding with the Russians and accused of being treasonous. ...Two years of his administration have been dominated by allegations that have now been proven false.” — Senate hearing Wednesday.

    GRAHAM, Republican senator from South Carolina: “Mr. Mueller and his team concluded there was no collusion.” — Senate hearing.

    THE FACTS: Allegations of “collusion” were not “proven false” in the Mueller investigation, nor was the issue of “collusion” addressed in the report.

    The Mueller report said the investigation did not find a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, saying it had not collected sufficient evidence “to establish” or sustain criminal charges.

    The report noted that some Trump campaign officials had declined to testify under the 5th Amendment or had provided false or incomplete testimony, making it difficult to get a complete picture of what happened during the 2016 campaign. The special counsel wrote that he “cannot rule out the possibility” that unavailable information could have cast a different light on the investigation’s findings.

    The report also makes clear the investigation did not assess whether “collusion” occurred because it is not a legal term. The investigation found multiple contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia, and the report said it established that “the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.”

    ___

    GRAHAM: “As to obstruction of justice, Mr. Mueller left it to Mr. Barr to decide after two years, and all this time. He said, ‘Mr. Barr, you decide.’ Mr. Barr did.” — Senate hearing.

    THE FACTS: Not true. Mueller did not ask Barr to rule on whether Trump’s efforts to undermine the special counsel’s Russia investigation had obstructed justice.

    According to the report, Mueller’s team declined to make a prosecutorial judgment on whether to charge partly because of a Justice Department legal opinion that said sitting presidents shouldn’t be indicted.

    As a result, the report factually laid out instances in which Trump might have obstructed justice, specifically leaving it open for Congress to take up the matter or for prosecutors to do so once Trump leaves office.

    Barr wrote in a March 24 letter that ultimately he decided as attorney general that the evidence developed by Mueller was “not sufficient” to establish, for the purposes of prosecution, that Trump committed obstruction of justice.

    Barr subsequently acknowledged that he had not talked directly to Mueller about making that ruling and did not know if Mueller agreed with him.

    Your guy won by 80k votes after promising a wall, great jobs and healthcare - he hasn't delivered on anything while openly committing crimes and boring everyone with his lies. Good luck in 2020, no Democrat is going to take it easy and no independent is going to believe his bullshit about Mexico paying for the wall. Forget winning PA, you guys couldn't even save KY.

    Trumpy is doing a pretty damn good job.

    He trolled the mainstream media into openly admitting their bias.

    He got Kim Jong Un to talk.

    He got America out of the Paris Climate Extortion scam.

    He hasn't released any more Terrorist leaders and their money.

    He's finally addressing the large Chinese trade deficit.

    He released all the children that Obama put in cages.

    He improved conditions at the border.

    He lowered everyone's taxes.

    He achieved record numbers of employment for minorities.

    He dragged the economy above and beyond Obama's "new normal".

    He reduced the sale of firearms without infringing on anyone's 2nd Amendment rights.

    He made red hats fashionable.

    A guy who slobbers over Lou Dobbs and Hannity got others to admit bias? Anything other than ass kissing is bias to that moron.

    Kim Jong made a mockery of Dotard on the world scene, openly defying Trump with his missile tests.

    Dotard released 1000s of ISIS terrorists in Syria, not to forget coddles the biggest ISIS funders - the Saudis.

    Chinese trade deficit is the same if not higher while costing billions to taxpayers with his red state bailouts

    He killed children in cages and many were sexually exploited just like he wanted.

    He increased budget deficits to new high so he can give his rich buddies a big taxcut.

    Manufacturing is already in a recession, I am sure you will blame Obama for that.

    No matter what President Donald Trump does for the US, extreme liberals will NEVER acknowledge it because they will have to accept that they are wrong about President Donald Trump! At the same time, these hypocrites ignore all the abuses of power by the Democrats, their wanton corruption at every level and their attempts to turn the US into a third world country shithole? And if you find the US as bad as you claim, nobody is stopping you from moving to Canada or Europe? Go for it! Why be miserable in the US when you can live in a Socialist Utopia like France?

    Record U.S. trade deficit in 2018 reflects failure of Trump’s trade policies

    The U.S. Census Bureau reported that the U.S. goods trade deficit reached a record of $891.3 billion in 2018, an increase of $83.8 billion (10.4 percent). The broader goods and services deficit reached $621.0 billion in 2018, an increase of $68.8 billion (12.5 percent). The rapid growth of U.S. trade deficits reflect the failure of Trump administration trade policies, as well as the negative impacts of tax cuts and spending increases, which have sharply increased the federal budget deficit, and tightening of U.S. monetary policy, resulting in upward pressure on interest rates and the real value of the dollar.

    The IMF predicts that the U.S. current account deficit—the broadest measure of U.S. trade in goods, services, and income—will nearly double between 2016 and 2022. Unless these trends are offset by a rapid decline in the value of the U.S. dollar, rapidly rising trade deficits could be devastating for U.S. manufacturing, likely giving rise to massive job loss on the scale experienced in the 2000–2007 period, when 3.5 million U.S. manufacturing jobs were lost.

    The U.S. goods trade deficit with China reached a new record of $419.2 billion in 2018, up from $375.6 billion in 2017, an increase of $43.6 billion (11.6 percent). United States trade with China is dominated by the deficit in manufactured products. Although the United States has imposed tariffs of 10 to 25 percent on $250 billion in imports from China (about half of total U.S. imports from that country), China has played its ‘ace-in-the-hole’ by allowing it’s currency to fall by roughly 10 percent against the dollar. As a result, the U.S. trade deficit with China increased faster (11.6 percent) than the U.S. deficit with the world as a whole (10.4 percent). While the United States and China are poised to negotiate a deal to end their trade dispute, the proposed deal amounts “much ado about nothing much,” as Paul Krugman puts it. It will do little to reduce the massive imbalance in U.S.–China trade flows.
