Mueller knew that Barr would block an indictment of Trump because Barr has a personal view of obstruction at odds with the statute itself. Barr's view requires that the obstructer has done his obstructing in order to impede the investigation or prosecution of a crime that the obstructer himself has committed. Thus, in this narrow view, because Trump did not commit the crime of conspiracy with the Russians, it was legally impossible for Trump to have obstructed the FBI investigation of that crime.
Napolitano is a moron. First, he's misstating Barr's view of the law. Second, Barr's view is correct. It is highly implausible to claim that Trump obstructed that investigation corruptly, and there is NO ALLEGATION that he obstructed any investigation of conspiracy with the Russians. None.
That’s not true, no matter how often lemmings repeat the lie.
Obstruction of justice is a crime onto itself.
Unto.
It is a crime unto itself, but it has "elements" that must be proven, and the fact that there was no underlying crime pretty much negates any assertion that he had a corrupt intent.

Your read Mueller's report and still don't know what's in it? Wow!

I do, and that's not in it. You tell me which of those "episodes" alleges this. I dare you to try. You will fail.
Mueller's discussion of alleged "episodes" of possible obstruction did not include anything claiming that Trump obstructed any investigation of conspiracy with the Russians in any way, shape, or form.

This is why Mueller punted the rest of the work to Congress. He gave them the road map and they are obligated to pursue further investigation. It's as simple as that. And I call you out for claiming you read the report which you clearly did not. And the birther-in-thief is still obstructing justice.
Any time a foreign power meddles in our election it is an attack on our republic. Patriots care about this. What do you suggest would be an appropriate response, pretend nothing happened?
That's exactly what you're doing about all the other foreign powers that have meddled in our elections (as well as domestic interference that is a million times worse than anything Russia did), all of which is A-OK with you because this has nothing to do with patriotism; it's all about overturning an election for partisan reasons.
