Mueller made it clear both in his report and in his statement that since the DOJ policy was not to indict a sitting President, it was unfair to accuse him of crimes when he couldn't defend himself in a court.
Why is this so difficult to comprehend?
Mueller said no such thing. He said he could not indict him. He didn't say he could not be accused of a crime.
I really don't know what the right course of action is, my lean has always been not to impeach as that will only increase the divide and go nowhere with a GOP Senate. And I don't really see any grounds for impeachment.
With that said Mueller's comment clearly showed Trump and Barr were full of crap when they claimed the report was a complete exoneration. The words "If we found the president did not commit a crime, we would have said so" are pretty clear and not open to interpretation.
Those weren't the words. It was "clearly did not did not commit a crime".
Yeahyeah, everything is Obama's fault. Thanks, Obama! But that doesn't change the fact that an illegitimately elected national security threat occupies the oval office, and according to Mueller, can't be indicted simply because he's president.
"There is not a syllable in the text of the Constitution that supports the conclusion reached by either the Nixon-appointed OLC lawyer that Nixon was immune or the Clinton-appointed OLC lawyer that Clinton was immune. The foundation of Mueller’s reluctance to indict is rotten to the core."
So that being the case why didn't he do it?
I don't know why he didn't do it, but it would have been a political disaster for the Left if he had. Trump's lawyers would get to cross-examine Hillary and Obama for days on end. And Brennan and Clapper and Comey and Strzok, all while Barr took notes for prosecutions for perjury, 1001, et cetera.
Of course you don't. None of us here on CD are privy to that information.
Yes, actually we all are. We are all able to read Mueller's report.
