The Washington Post’s totally conservative blogger Jennifer Rubin fired back at this Mediate story and said Robert Mueller “confirmed” that Russia helped Donald Trump in 2016 and thus his election still was not “legitimate”:

NO> Mueller confirmed that Russia helped him

So Mueller’s finding that the Trump campaign did not collude with the Russians doesn’t even count?
She tells leftists what they want to hear while claiming to be a conservative.

No. No he did not.

She’s also pretty invested in the whole pivot-to-obstruction narrative overtaking the media:
It would behoove the media to point out it is FALSE that Mueller exonerated Trump of obstruction. The report explicitly said that, as Barr quoted. BARR exonerated Trump which is ridiculous
— Jennifer Rubin (@JRubinBlogger) March 24, 2019
To be clear: Mueller found evidence of obstruction. Now we need to hear what it was. Barr throwing in his two cents is inappropriate in the extreme.

Recommended
Mueller should testify under oath to make clear everyone hears he did NOT exonerate Trump. He should go through the evidence he found of obstruction.

Narrator voice: It was an exoneration on the obstruction charge, as NBC’s Ken Dilanian points out:
That said, the ruling by the AG amounts to a legal exhoneration, regardless of Mueller’s language. Mueller could have made the call—he didn’t. https://t.co/dGuGsGlmFG

Very true. Also important to note DoJ rarely charges obstruction in the absence of an underlying crime. https://t.co/XPCstZZPjB
