Now if only we had an American President who was ready, willing & able to defend US elections free from foreign governments' interference instead of being soley focused on 'covering his a$$'.

There's no reason to "defend" US elections against foreign governments' interference while ignoring vastly more serious interference from other sources, particularly the mass media.

He found no such thing.

He assembled facts regarding ten episodes that he then presented to the AG and Rosenstein to let them determine whether there was obstruction. They determined that, under the law, the actions reported by Mueller were not criminal.

They sure started crying when Trump started threatening to bus all those illegals to their back yards.

What nonsense. Mueller clearly identified who could make that determination - a prosecutor after Trump’s term or Congress now. The premise the he punted to Barr or Rosenstein is contradicted by the plain language in the report.

Hope the DOJ sends an attorney who sits behind him and on every other question interrupts with "We can't answer that due to an on going investigation".

What are you hoping for here? That there is ongoing investigation of Trump? Or just an absence of governmental transparency? Your post makes little sense.

Yeah you must have been asleep during the recent House Investigation when the R's were in charge and people like Peter Strozk could not answer so many questions due to the Mueller Investigation.

Yes there are a lot of DOJ Investigations currently going on that we know about by people like IG Huber and IG Horowitz.

There are going to be a lot of question Mueller may not be able to answer due to on going Investigations.

The should make the looney D heads explode when he cannot answer.

That is the point you apparently can’t or won’t allow to soak into your understanding...
Mueller could not come out and point the finger of complicity at Trump—
That would be considered a prejudicial act because there could not also be a simultaneous indictment for that perceived guilt

The DoJ rules say that if you CAN’T indict someone for a crime—
You can’t claim they committed it...

Ergo, there was no way Mueller COULD indict Trump
Because Trump as a sitting president can’t ge indicted according to the OLC’s memo—not a law—a memo

Why were 14 Russian GRU hackers indicted?
Because they were found implicated of criminal activity and they AREN’T the president of the US
Why was Roger Stone indicted of criminal acts???
Because there was sufficient evidence to indict and try him and HE is not president of the US
Why have Michael Cohen, Flynn, Rick Gates, and others been indicted, plead guilty, made a plea deal and are awaiting sentencing or going to jail???
Because there WAS sufficient evidence and THEY ARE NOT POTUS!!
Why is Manafort serving time in Federal jail?
Because there was sufficient evidence, he was found guilty, and he IS NOT PRESIDENT!!!

I just can’t say this enough but the only reason Trump WAS NOT indicted ia because he is PRESIDENT!

Not because there is NO evidence, not because there isn’t sufficient evidence, not because he was innocent, not because Mueller is stupid or a Democrat—-
But ONLY because Trump is protected by that OLC memo which has NO defined legal precedent...

And I think it is certainly within the realm of possibility that there ARE sealed indictments and ongoing investigations against Trump, his 3 oldest children, his SIL, and others in his inner circle—

The Dems played a lot of defense when Peter was being questioned, wonder what they were afraid of.

And AG Barr's clock is running out. If I were him I'd resign now.

The Mueller investigation is over. There is no reason for him to not answer due to an ongoing investigation. Everything in this investigation is just about out there now.

It don't. Just partisan dribble.
