No, but I lost countless hours of sleep reading through all the leaked e-mails and as a result have been able to predict the news cycle for the last 3 years(to the point of even impressing people I know personally)

And I'm pretty sure that all this anti-Trump stuff originated in Hilary's campaign. The Russia stuff, everything. 

Also, what little faith I ever had in politics has been completely destroyed as a result.

I don't really care anymore. I am not interested in the Mueller report. 

You can at least have the comfort of knowing that I don't vote. I'm at peace with the reality that no matter what happens I am going to have to live with other people's bad decisions.

Did you have a point to begin with?

And on that note, do you recall a news source that took a statement by Robert Mueller, William Barr, or Donald Trump and twisted words or removed context?

Why yes, yes I did

At that point, was President Trump referencing the summary, or a single quote of the Mueller report?

Irrelevant in the context of this discussion

Well if President Trump referencing the summary sent by the Attorney General to Congress is not relevant as it previously was to your own words, then I don't know what is.  If the single quote by Robert Mueller is not relevant, as you previously indicated, then we are back to square one.

I probably should've clarified. It's irrelevant whether or not Trump was referencing Barr's conclusion in the summary or not. The impact in terms of removal of context and twisting of words seems to me to be the same. Either the quote was the basis, in which case there is a definite twisting of words, or Barr's conclusion was the basis, in which case the context of Mueller's quote has been removed

You have probably figured out by now that the quote of Robert Mueller is not the basis, right? That doesn't seem remotely reasonable. You know that the quote was not removed as well assuming you have read the summary.

Well the basis is the summary in its whole which includes the quote. I don't think it's reasonable to focus on Barr's conclusion and ignore Mueller's quote. And hence no matter which way you look at Trump's tweet, it's a distortion or it's misleading of Barr's summary

Have you read the sentence right after Robert Mueller's quote?

Donald Trump is the best example of someone the media can't tell the truth about.

Which is why Donald Trump won the election.


But that is just like my opinion, yo.
