Post #66, right before yours. I even underlined the vital bit so you couldn't miss or ignore it.
Actually read #62 which clarifies the underlined point even further. Mueller was asked specifically if he didn't charge Trump with a crime due to DOJ policies regarding indicting a sitting president and he absolutely refused to give that as a reason.
Try reading what has already been specifically posted on this issue. You seem like you won't pay attention to anything
that spoils your preconceived narrative but there it is anyway.

Democrats have an uncanny knack of misinterpreting the written word. We saw it with the Russia affair and now we're seeing it with Ukraine. Why don't Democrats stop fighting against our country and start doing their job? They're hurting everyone with these BS investigations.
I don't know what the Democrats hope to achieve once obtaining Trumps tax returns. Good example: Filthy rich Leona Helmsley, she claimed that only "little people pay taxes." Result: Massive tax penalties and prison time. If Trump was dodging his taxes, the IRS would have done to him, the same they did to Helmsley. At most, because of legal loopholes for the wealthy, he may have been able to avoid paying his taxes. Not a crime.

Written words are precise. The report is damning to the so called President. Time for patriotic Republicans to get on board and right the ship.

Jesus! Hiding behind the Mueller report again? I can see desperately clinging to a raft if you are out in the middle of the ocean.
But clinging to a report that cannot and does not charge Trump with a single crime? That is real desperation.

No one is looking for actual crimes.
No one thinks there are actual crimes
The left simply wants to destroy the country

You are blind, Boo. You're just not picking it up. Viva Trump.
A Star Is Born in the Battle Over Trumpās Tax Returns.
A star is born. The big news in appeals court ruling in the Houseās subpoena for President Trumpās tax records is not that the court supports it, though thatās no small thing. Itās the dissent by the newly minted appeals judge on the D.C. Circuit, Neomi Rao. She reckons that the way House is going after Mr. Trump violates the constitutional prohibition against bills of attainder.
Brava, your honor. The chief editorial writer of the Sun has been singing this song since Senator Biden and his Judiciary Committee colleagues launched their attack on Justice-to-be Clarence Thomas. The prohibition on bills of attainder, in which a legislature condemns an individual, are flatly prohibited, both to the state and federal governments. Theyāre as un-American as titles of nobility.
Judge Rao cuts through the Houseās humbug about how this investigation is being made pursuant to the legislative power ā as if what the House wants is better laws regulating the president. If that had been its interest, of course, the House would have been trying for generations to pass laws cramping our presidents. The judge gets that the claims to a legislative purpose are gossamer.
The judge quotes a memorandum by the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Elijah Cummings, a major figure in Congress. The memo, Judge Rao noted, said the committee was investigating āwhether the President may have engaged in illegal conductā and notes that this information would inform āits review of multiple laws and legislative proposals under our jurisdiction.ā
What the judge sees in that is the committee announcing ātwo distinct investigationsā ā āone to explore allegations of illegal conduct by the President; and another to review multiple laws and legislative proposals within the Committeeās jurisdiction. Yet, she notes, the committee ājustifies both inquiries under the legislative power,ā and, she adds, the courtās majority accepts that framework.
She, however, does not. Congressās legislative powers, she notes, are ālimited and enumerated.ā In America, ālegislative power does not include the exercise of judicial power to determine the guilt or innocence of individuals.ā
The full opinion is here.

Oops! Now Trump has lost his appeal to keep his tax returns from the House
Trump: "We'll win," he said. "You know how many cases I've lost and then we win?"
Uh.... Lemme guess... All.of 'em, right?
