After citing Justice Department rules that he could not prosecute a sitting president, Mueller suggested that it's possible Trump can be charged after leaving the White House.
Here's the exchange between committee chairman Jerry Nadler and Mueller:
Nadler: "Is it correct that if you had concluded that the President committed the crime of obstruction, you could not publicly state that in your report or here today?"
Mueller: "The statement would be that you would not indict, and you would not indict because under the OLC opinion, excuse me, a sitting president cannot be indicted, it would be unconstitutional."
Nadler: "Under Department of Justice policy, the President could be prosecuted for obstruction of justice crimes after he leaves office, correct?"
Mueller: "True"
Note: Mueller did not, however, say if Trump should be prosecuted
Meanwhile you've got a man (and son) that has been proven to have committed several crimes (or shady deals at best), and is actually a "wanted man" in a foreign country, being installed as the president. Oh the irony.
For daring to defy and beat the system and going on to show the world how ridiculous and power hungry the Democrats are and how connected the mass media is to them. Trump has drained the swamp of DC and shown us just how hypocritical they are and how biased the media is.
Don't worry folks the swamp is filling back in with the Biden Bunch and all will be back to stinking normal soon enough.
Of course they would love to prosecute Trump, heck they impeached him for nothing, so they could send a message to would be outsiders that dared to stick their nose into politics to never ever challenge or question the DC elite.
Heck, Trump fought for us, he stood for America and the Dems would crucify him for it.
yup, Trump has escaped all scrutiny as president. I've never seen a president get such a free ride from the press, the politicians and our federal investigative agencies. Trump is the first president whose actions and activities prior to, and after being sworn into office, to have been so systemically ignored and never investigated.
Mueller: Trump can be prosecuted after he leaves office
But he won't be. Just zip up your pants and get on with your life.
