If you have been watching the news for the past month, you have most likely heard “Barr”, “Mueller”, “collusion”, “obstruction”, “exonerate,” every day. On some news stations the Mueller Report has been covered on a daily basis for two years; others decided to wait until facts came out. So, when Attorney General Barr released his summary and eventually a redacted version of the Mueller Report, most people expected a clear decision on whether Trump’s team colluded with Russians. Barr’s summary was straightforward, and he even used a quote from the report. “The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.” Barr also reported that Mueller would not draw a conclusion on whether Trump commited obstruction, thus leaving it up to Barr to make a decision. The media has unsurprisingly continued to push the story of Trump colluding and obstructing despite the two-year investigation’s findings. Recently, they have been reporting that Mueller’s team has been unhappy with the way Barr has been portraying the findings. Today, Barr is set to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee and respond to accusations from Democrats that he attempted to present the investigation’s results in Trump’s favor. This issue is important to the nation because it displays how politics is being infused into justice. This hearing could possibly result in new laws affecting how presidential investigations are handled in the future.
Do you believe politics are invading justice, or has it always been this way? Should the media focus on evidence supporting the prosecution, or should they focus on the result? Do you believe the left-wing media will focus on this through the 2020 election, or will they find something else to rile up voters? Do voters still need to make a decision on whether Trump is guilty or not, or should they trust the ultimate findings of Mueller’s team?
I think the invasion of justice is just starting to get bigger and more attention, but it seems that in some instances that politics has already invaded justice. Media should focus on exactly what the facts are whether it is papers during the hearings or trials, or if may just be what is stated after the investigations are over which are the results. However, media will never be like this due to the never ending bias that all forms of media will have.
ReplyDeleteI think that justice is being invaded by politics. We should be focusing on more important issues than this. If he was guilty then they would have had evidence by now. This investigation has wasted a lot of time, we just need to make a decision and move on!
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt, politics have invaded justice. The investigation has gone on for far too long already, but the left wing will milk it for all it’s worth. There has been no evidence found that states that Trump colluded with Russia. I also think that people will find something else to falsely accuse Trump of just because they don’t want him in office.
ReplyDeleteI believe that justice is being invaded by politics. People are trying to push their agenda and not trying to benefit America, but themselves, and the media is just trying to make money off stories and push their agenda as well.
ReplyDeleteI think everybody would agree that the media should focus upon the results of the investigation as they are the definite. However, it is clear to see that the media favors the evidence supporting the prosecution as it coincides with their motives and agendas. In addition, it allows them to manipulate and twist the truth. Sadly, no media source in existence is completely unbiased. It seems as if the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" has been annihilated by modern politics. Witch hunts and investigations such as these have become common. Left wing media will definitely focus on the investigation and report all the way through the 2020 election. It has become their final plan in the utter attack and slander of President Trump. Even though the Muller report literally stated "The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities," they still aren't giving up. Left wing media is still trying to draw the investigation out and possibly find any minuscule amount of dirt that they can. It would not make sense for anyone to not trust the findings in the Muller report. The investigation was carried out by the people that were on a mission to take Trump down and prove that there was collusion. They failed in finding any sort of evidence, not to mention that they easily could have falsified evidence in order to incriminate Trump.
