Let's find out what's in their financial closets. Their hands are tied. You can not convict a sitting president. Even charging his kids can't happen because it all ties into the guilt of Donald. If you can;t do the first then proving the latter can't be done either.

That's utter baloney, because it was clear that Mueller and team were scalp hunting. If there was a scintilla of indictable evidence of obstruction on anyone in Trump's orbit, you would have seen a very public perp walk. 3

If the findings show anything other than #Orangemanbad, then obviously Horowitz, Huber, etc are just lying Trump stooges. 4

Don't think for one moment if there was even an IOTA of credible evidence, it wouldn't have been in the hands of the Democratic party leadership. And @plenzmd1 our justice system ROUTINELY lets people walk because of lack of evidence. Routinely. Take a look at arrest/conviction rates around the country. Edited May 30, 2019 by Joe in Winslow

That's not even close to a factual statement..an indictment simply means we going to trial...where one needs to prove guilt...trial does equal indictment

It's quite low in most circumstances. Why? Because prosecutors know the bar is high.

I agree..but your statement was there was no indictment because Mueller had no evidence, and in this case that is just 100 % not correct. He stated yesterday no indictment because the President cannot be indicted while he is the President..totally different argument

Trumps mueller jabs were kabuki theater. The design to accomplish exactly what happened yesterday. Muellers job was to isolate the corrupt plotters and have them chase their tail while good cops watched the dirty cops like Hawks, logging every corner they cut, every law they broke in their attempt to "get" Trump. Pain comes next. DR the moron Edited May 30, 2019 by McGee Return TD 2

We are all innocent until proven guilty. If a prosecutor does not have enough evidence to make a case, the subject remains innocent. Which is where we are w Trump. Mueller, by not indicting him, declared him innocent even if he wants to play semantics. There's not a single accusation of guilt in all 400 pages in the report. Not one. Starr wrote Clinton was guilty 13 times in his, and charged him. Its sad that so many liberals (I say this as one) are so quick to turn their backs on the very nature of our system of justice just because orange man bad and tds. Its not only sad, it's dangerous. 4

I think the argument from the other side is that Mueller elected not to indict because DOJ rules prevented him from indicting a sitting President. Even though he didn't state that exactly, that is the inference. 1

As covered yesterday if the only thin holding him back was that rule, they would have indicted Flynn, Don Jr, and Manafort for obstruction to make the case easier for congress. But he didn't. Because he could never make any of those cases with or without the rule. 3
B-Man Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 America left to face the nasty consequences of Robert Mueller’s actions New York Post, by Michael Goodwin Original Article ROBERT MUELLER, PARTISAN FRAUD Much has been written about Robert Mueller’s appearance before the press today, in which spoke briefly and nervously, repeating points that have already been made ad nauseam in his own report and elsewhere. Why did he do it? And why did he appear so nervous while he did it? Speculation has been rampant. Scott posted a transcript of Mueller’s remarks earlier today. Much could be said about them, but I want to focus on just one aspect of Mueller’s characterization of his own investigation. Two years ago, the acting attorney general asked me to serve as special counsel and he created the special counsel’s office. The appointment order directed the office to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. This included investigating any links or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump campaign. The key word there is “included.” What else did Mueller’s charge include? Nothing, apparently. But we actually know that there were “links” between a presidential campaign and Russians who (if they existed at all) likely were associated with Putin’s regime. The campaign was Hillary Clinton’s, and the Russians were those on whose reports Christopher Steele based his infamous dossier. 1
3rdnlng Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Mueller muddied the waters on purpose and he is the one who is obstructing justice. https://www.redstate.com/bonchie/2019/05/30/mueller-backtracks-presser-tries-clarify-matters-joint-statement-bill-barr/ "In other words, Mueller is now saying “wait, wait I never said Trump would have been charged if he weren’t President, only that the fact that he was President is why I didn’t bother to answer the question.” It’s still a weak kneed answer in my humble opinion. If that is what he meant, he could have specifically clarified that at the presser to quell the storm. Instead, his weasel language gave the entirely of the media and Democrat party the green light to claim that the OLC opinion is all that stopped Trump from being charged. He threw chum into the water and it’s really hard to interpret his actions as anything other than intentional. Now, some will take issue with the use of the word backtrack in this article. I think it’s accurate." 1

We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime. What he said is the President cannot be charged, and it is up to Congress now to decide . ***** @Deranged Rhino, i cannot edit my post he declared he did NOT find him innocent..nor guilty 1
