Yeah, Sebby's gonna say "we couldn't prove a crime" is the same as "not a crime" but it isn't.

I was driving to a meeting and stopped for coffee and missed some of start. I heard that he said "no collusion" a lot. The part I did hear sounded boring. He's clearly trying to defend his positions and protect Trump.

But it might be because Trump didn't do something which a prosecutor would find warrants or merits prosecution.

I know it's heresy here, in the hair on fire world of Trump haters, but Trump acted like Trump in response to the investigation. Which is to say he reacted like a dumb thug. Barr characterized this as emotional, "frustrated." I think that's a half truth. Trump is not only emotional, but dumb. I think Trump is a reactive child who reacts like a fool when criticized. He's just too stupid and immature and ADD-addled to develop real intent.

Barr is protecting Trump, but strangely, Trump is probably worthy of protection here. He's a dimwit doing as dimwits do, not a master villain, or even a Nixon.
