Mueller, in First Comments on Russia Inquiry, Declines to Clear Trump

It's clear where Mueller stands on the issue:


"If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,” Mr. Mueller said, reading from prepared notes behind a lectern at the Justice Department. “We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime.”
He also said that while Justice Department policy prohibits charging a sitting president with a crime, the Constitution provides for another process to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing — a clear reference to the ability of Congress to begin impeachment proceedings.

Then democrats should impeach. Spend the next year on impeachment. Then the senate will send you to your room.

 

[Claudette]

If Mueller had anything he would have said so. If he had enough to charge him with anything he would have done so.

He cleared Trump even if the lefty loons don't want to believe it.

Hope the Dem House spends all of 2019 with investigations and hearings. They will pave the way for a Trump win in 2020.

Go Dems.

Mueller wants Congress to fire the gun at Trump he was unable to put any bullets into. It's a recipe for more partisan
obstruction, more partisan witch hunts, more partisan muck raking.

The public has seen there is no "there" there. They want to get on with life.
Mueller is lying about why he couldn't charge Trump with any sort of crime. It has nothing to do with DOJ policy...it has everything to do with a total lack of evidence of a crime.

Yup. If he had the evidence he would have let everyone know that evidence.

Since he didn't then you can bet your ass he couldn't because he had no evidence.

He cleared him. It was an independent investigation and there were no charges of collusion/conspiracy or obstruction.

It's over snowflake.

They have to impeach now .. They have no choice ... They are bleeding constituents like a ripped sow. They did this to themselves. The misinformation demon they released is now beyond their control. Trump most likely wants them to do it.

Mueller failed the country in this little speech.
This was an opportunity to put country first and politics second.
Despite an exhaustive, expensive and lengthy investigation that left no leaf unturned, and certainly looked beyond what was even connected to collusion - they did not find evidence to present for prosecution.
At this time he had the opportunity to say simply that. But as I am sure he was given extreme pressure from Democrats, he instead chose the partisan route and carefully word it so while saying there was no evidence, still left the door open to say "oh - but he might be guilty of something...I just don't know...but we didn't find it,,, but I can't say he didn't".
Weak and a complete failure to the American people.

It’s not his job to “clear” anyone, it was his job to gather evidence of any crimes and recommend charges be brought up. He found no evidence of “collusion”, period.

Yup. He did exactly what his job was. Nothing more or less.

Mueller's statement today would have been more useful if he had delivered it exactly two months ago:

Robert Mueller's public statement was 'not good news' for President Trump: Judge Napolitano

"Judge Napolitano said these rules, however, are up for interpretation. According to the judicial analyst, the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) ruled in October 2000 that a sitting president should not, 'not cannot,' be indicted while still in office 'because of material disruption to his constitutional duties.'

"He said the guidelines are 'advisory only, not mandatory'

"Napolitano said there is 'no way to reconcile' what Mueller said today with Attorney General Bill Barr's previous assertion that the OLC guidelines were not the reason Mueller declined to recommend an obstruction charge."

 

[blackhawk]

As far as I can see all he did was just repeat what was in the report there was no new information or any bombshell everyone still believes what they did before he made these comments.

It’s not about impeaching Trump. I know you’re kind doesn’t get this, but it’s all about doing the right thing.

1) HIS SPEACH WAS MORE THEN JUST NERVOUS, HE SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS IN DEEP INTO SOMETHING HE HAS NO CONTROL OVER
this is important to discern the whole picture:
2) his comments contradicted his written report
and his conversation with Barr, and sounded
EXACTLY LIKE CONGRESSIONAL TALKING POINTS AS IF COHERSED AND THREATENED(COMPROMISED).
There is only 2 explainations for this: 1 he was forced to or 2 he left a protection for himself since in a number of ways he was at a conflict of interest and broke the law by not recusing himself.
3) He found no proof either way of a crime or not a crime, but liberal media and Pelosi and Nadler just use one talking point to misslead people by eleviating the
"no proof of an obstruction crime".
Then they turn on Barr for not getting their verdict and then Pelosi admits her abuse & treason crime by stating they have other ways "to get him". That's in addition to their comitting
obstruction by trying to oust Barr to obstruct with the investigations against their collegues.
Mueller was nervous because the oversight of the congress by the OCE might bring up contacts with him, leak violations, obstruction, instruction, or questions on his conflicts of interest.

This is the communist play book! Divide us!

Mueller could have found trump guilty of everything and sent it to Barr for him to send to Congress!

This is
What the left does. Now we fight it out

Well how was Mueller going to know that barr was going to stand up in front of the American people and under oath lie?
We already know from the Michael Cohen trial that Donald Trump is an unindicted co-conspirator in multiple Felonies.
Amash, the only Republican with balls was willing to stand up and demand Trump being impeached, got a standing ovation at a town hall.
A standing ovation.
Publicans are going to have a heavy political price to pay for putting a criminal into the oval office and threatening the existence of the United States.

This was all stuff that was known before Mueller's press conference, but Drumpflings refused to believe it.
