Here's How You Responded","html_content":"

Earlier this week, we asked if you were relieved or disappointed with the Mueller report, which found no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

We asked the question because various politicians and pundits had noted that, regardless of your feelings on President Donald Trump, Americans should be thankful to learn that a commander-in-chief did not betray the country.

\"You do not have to believe Trump is a good president to know that it is good that the president did not betray the country.” -Marc A. Thiessen, columnist for the Washington Post and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush

While some of you agreed with this sentiment, not all of your concurred.

Here are the results of our poll “How do you feel about the Mueller report?”\n

Here are some of your comments:

“There is no Mueller report to discuss. It has not been made public. The Barr \"memo\" is just more GOP lies and propaganda. We have already seen crimes committed in front of our eyes over the last two years. RELEASE THE REPORT TO THE PUBLIC!” -Denise\n

“Of course I’m happy the leader of our country is not conspiring with the enemy of the free world.” -Michael\n

“Honestly, I do believe there was some kind of bribery or other illicit happenings behind the scenes. I find it too much of a coincidence that over 30 people received indictments and the president and his family aren’t being touched?” -Linda\n

“I am relieved. There has been an avalanche of negative press. The president should be given the same treatment as others who are investigated. I think he is a strong negotiator without being a skilled diplomat. It appears to me that the report should be quietly set aside and let's get on with an attempt at unifying the nation.” -Bruce\n

“Now let’s investigate Hillary and Obama” -Barbara\n

“When you follow the legal ins and outs of these issues closely, I’m inclined to think that this question is premature. We saw the “Barr Report”, which I’m inclined to believe is an umbrella to protect those in the criminal arm of what is left of the GOP. #releasethemuellerreport before our democracy goes down in flames for good 😢” -Laura\n

“Although the Mueller report did not find “collusion,” which spares us all a huge fight, the Russian and other foreign and domestic tampering with our voting must be fully exposed and dealt with.” -Paul\n

“Honestly... I'm just glad it's done...” -so.miller\n

What do you think?

How did you feel about the findings in the Mueller report? Were you disappointed? Why? Should Mueller’s findings be a “be cause for celebration by Trump supporters and opponents alike”? Join the conversation.
