Mueller, (aka db cooper) was not allowed to declare the President committed any crime.
Bull Shit - you are completely misrepresenting what the OCL states. It does NOT say a Special Prosecutor can not REPORT that he and his team found evidence of a crime. It states a sitting President can not be INDICTED for a crime.
Nice try to spin, snowflake....almost as good as Mueller declaring, 'If I was confident the President had not committed a crime I would have said so'...which is NOT the same things as saying, 'The President committed a crime'!
If Mueller and his team went into the investigation with the understanding that they could never REPORT that the President had committed a crime and could never INDICT the President, WHY THE HELL DID THEY WASTE 2 YEARS DIGGING INTO HIS FINANCES, BUSINESS DEALINGS, AND INVESTIGATING HIM SO THOROUGHLY IF IT THEY KNEW IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING?
Sorry, the entire argument Mueller makes and you defend does not pass the common sense / logic test....
The report did find evidence and they presented it in the report they submitted. They cannot say, "based on the evidence we presented we think the President committed such-n-such a crime". It's up to the House to determine. So Congress needs all the evidence Mueller gathered for review before they can make a reasonable determination.
Bullshit!
IN THE 'CLARIFICATION' OF MUELLER'S PRESS CONFERENCE COMMENTS
RELEASED BY MUELLER'S OFFICE HOURS AGO, MUELLER'S OFFICE STATES THAT THE OCL'S DECISION NEVER IMPACTED HIS DECISION - WHICH SUPPORTS THE US AG's TESTIMONY UNDER OATH THAT MUELLER TOLD HIM IN 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS THE OCL NEVER PLAYED A PART IN HIS DECISION - AND THAT MUELLER DECLARED HE COULD NOT / WOULD NOT COME TO A DECISION AT ALL REGARDING OBSTRUCTION.
HIS OWN OFFICE JUST DECLARED MUELLER DID NOT MAKE A DECISION EITHER WAY ON OBSTRUCTION.
THAT MEANS MUELLER FAILED TO / REFUSED TO MAKE A DECISION TO FIND / ISSUE A RULING THAT TRUMP IS GUILTY OF BREALING THE LAW.
IN THIS NATION AMERICANS HAVE THE AUTOMATIC PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY, WHICH MUELLER - ACCORDING TO HIS OWN OFFICE - DID NOT DO!
*** MUELLER ACTUALLY
READ HIS PRESS CONFERENCE STATEMENT ... THAT MEANS MUELLER SAT DOWN AND TOOK TIME TO WRITE OUT HIS COMMENTS THAT HE READ DURING THE PRESS CONFERENCE ... ONLY TO HAVE HIS OFFICE SEVERAL HOURS LATER ISSUE A 'CLARIFICATION' OF WHAT HE REALLY MEANT TO SAY RATHER THAN WHAT HE ACTUALLY WROTE / SAID.
BTW, MUELLER'S OFFICE'S RUSH TO OFFER A 'CLARIFICATION' OF MUELLER'S COMMENTS IS A DEMONSTRATION OF WHY MUELLER IS SCARED TO DEATH OF TESTIFYING UNDER OATH....
DOJ, Mueller’s Office Release Joint Statement Clarifying Mueller’s Comments
There is also a new thread on Mueller's Office's 'retraction' / 'clarification' of what he 'really' meant in his Press Conference...
