"The Special Counsel’s decision to describe the facts of his obstruction investigation without reaching any legal conclusions leaves it to the Attorney General to determine whether the conduct described in the report constitutes a crime.
that's not true though....
In Nixon and Clinton's investigations, the special prosecutor DID NOT recommend charges for these sitting presidents, they delivered the facts from the investigations and left it up to the congress to decide on impeachment.
In BOTH of those cases....
so Barr, is bull shitting you.... and in less than 48 hours, made that decision..... that's just bull crud imo.
Even with regular people and not Presidents, Prosecutors NEVER tell the targets, that they will never prosecute them for a crime they could not establish.... they simply do not prosecute them at that time, and hope and pray they will acquire the evidence in the future to establish the facts and prosecute them, then if they come up with enough evidence to establish beyond a reasonable doubt they are guilty at a later time, they will charge them....
The president could NOT be prosecuted, period.... even if he were 100% guilty and we all could see it. this is why it was left up to congress and why Mueller left it up to congress, just like Jaworsky did and just like Kenneth Starr did....
the AG's did not come in and make the decision for those two prosecutors.... it was for Congress to decide.
Barr was WRONG in doing what he did.... imo.
