No US persons were charged in the underlying crime.
There was an underlying crime.
This is not hard to understand.
Not an underlying crime by Trump or anyone related to him. That is not hard to understand, which means "not an underlying crime" for purposes of the discussion.
No you don't. That's a completely absurd conclusion being driven from an inability to accept that other people are capable of approaching an analysis from anything other than a partisan political perspective.
We know by the conclusion. There is no explanation for their statement other than political bias/advocacy. No objective prosecutor would charge based on the facts assembled by Mueller.
Not one. Not five. THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY former prosecutors agree:
"Each of us believes that the conduct of President Trump described in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report would, in the case of any other person not covered by the Office of Legal Counsel policy against indicting a sitting President, result in multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice."
For any Trump supporters that still insist that he is clean as the driven snow? It is now crystal clear to anyone with a brain that you are either an ignorant fool or a blindly partisan cultist. In other words, zero credibility.
Trump is a scumbag, and the worthless toadies in his Administration are not far behind.
This Trump Presidency has opened my eyes to lots of things about the federal govt.
There are safeguards that some of the other failing countries in the world didn't or don't have that add to the integrity of our govt....but this whole President can't be charged with a crime is a little disturbing. And there are other things that suggest we may not have all the safeguards we think we do or should have.
And I'm a little surprised how Americans seem to be okay with that.
As already mentioned in this thread, the report section on obstruction makes pretty clear that Mueller viewed the maniac's conduct as obstruction but felt he could not charge him because of current DOJ policy which says the POTUS is above the law.
There's no indication in the report that anyone ever bothered to consider the question. A determination as to whether Trump obstructed justice would require looking at inculpatory AND exculpatory facts and arguments. The investigators did not do this, which means their opinion is worthless, unprofessional, and contrary to law.

Didn't you say that 17 Intelligence agencies claimed that Trump had colluded with Russians? How do you know these aren't the same people?
Why AREN'T you concerned about all they lying that went on behind that farce?

Actually, with each instance of potential obstruction, the Report made numerous express mentions of potential exculpatory counterarguments and weighed them against the evidence. Try again.

The irony is staggering.
You seem unaware of the fact that the criminals who started the illegal surveillance of the Trump campaign and who proceeded with an attempt to frame him to remove from office were LAWYERS in the DOJ -- precisely the class of people who are offering the dubious "opinions" you find so convincing.
