Just got home from work and missed everything today...

Can someone briefly summarize what went down, including the context of the "I'm fucked" remark? I'm too tired to have to read through everything to get a picture of what happened and where we stand right now.

Thanks in advance!

just not chargeable conspiracy. Loads of obstruction that needs to be evaluated by Congress not Barr. Mueller could not come to complete conclusions because too many of Trumps people and Trump kept lying to them. Sara Sanders admitted lying about everyone hating Comey, on and on. Total Shit Show. Trump was getting phone calls from (redacted), telling him more dirt and emails dropping. Plenty more to come I'm sure.

Barr has been exposed as the maggot's lying personal lawyer, not the people's lawyer.

Every conclusion that Mueller made was prefaced with: he could not endict a sitting president. If he found indictable crimes he could not reveal he had because he could not endict a sitting president. As much as he could not indict he could not exonerate with the evidence he had. He was leaving it up to Congress to do their job.

The evidence is damning. Worse than we could have imagined.
