Mueller never said it didn't meet the threshold of making Trump's actions a crime. Quite the opposite, in fact, as he said that if he believed the threshold was not met (e.g., that no crime was committed), then he would have said so.

He did NOT have the option of charging the President with a crime.

This is NOT good nor does it clear the President.
Mueller wrote an impeachment report.
He must have been investigating for congress but that's outside his authority to do. He couldn't even turn over his report to congress. The A.G. has to do that, if he decides too.

The entire process has been a cluster ****

What you are claiming is that the president is above the law because of a rule made up by a department in the Executive branch.

Circular logic.

No person is above the law. What the rule actually says is that the investigators in his office can gather evidence but the charges can not be brought by his office. The charges would have to be brought another way.

It was not wasted. Many indictments were charged against various other people. Crimes were committed and discovered.

No he did not. He had an indictment memo written while cogitating on the policy around whether or not that was possible.

Trump was not cleared today. The only body which can prosecute Trump is Congress. Let the impeachment begin.

I don’t see how the House cannot impeach after this statement.
