Mueller spoke yesterday about his report yesterday for the first time. He made clear that the report did not exonerate Trump. Since the report details Trump's various attempts to obstruct justice that was not a surprise. He also clarified that he followed policy so charges were never considered to charge a sitting President no matter the evidence. It left conservative friendly voices on Fox agreeing with me about Barr misrepresenting Mueller.
I question your reading comprehension skills, M E M:
Barr immediately after reading the report rightly determined there was not evidence to prosecute obstruction of justice (as Mueller should have, if Mueller had not been a partisan weasel shaving his report to aid the House Democrats politically, and give them the slightest window of ambiguity to open more investigations.
In our system, you are either 1) found guilty (with the evidence to prosecute)
or
2) found not guilty because there is not sufficient evidence to prosecute.
The >>>FOUR<<< previous investigations including the Mueller report found Trump not guilty and insufficient evidence to prosecute.
It was not legally correct or valid for Mueller and his investigators to say "We find insufficient evidence to prove Trump guilty of obstruction of justice, but we can NOT certify Trump's innocence." That is a new and un-Constitutional standard, declaring Trump guilty until proven innocent.
NO!!
The standard is Trump and every other American is presumed innocent unless PROVEN guilty.
And Mueller in his report said there is insufficient evidence to prosecute Trump to find him guilty. PERIOD.
Mueller's job was simply to say whether to prosecute or not, instead of waxing philosophic for 448 pages, to give Democrats the thinnest rationalization for opening a 5th (Nadler), 6th(Maxine Waters) and 7th(Adam Schiff) investigation of Trump.
AGAIN: >>>FOUR<<< previous investigations have found no evidence against Trump, and no justification beyond political weasel-moves to continue with more investigations. The Mueller investigation was extraordinarily well funded, and these new partisan-Democrat House investigations don't have the same resources and powers to find anything new. It's all political theatre, to smear and damage Trump going into the 2020 election. And Trump will win anyway.
53% of the population polled don't want further investigation, FOUR investigations is enough.
58% don't want to hear the Mueller report raised as an issue any more.
PERIOD.
Barr has said that Mueller could have recommended prosecution, and that the prosecution of the case could just be set aside until Trump is no longer president, after 2020 or 2024. It seems to me Mueller as a decades-long FBI prosecutor and attorney, if he really felt he had the evidence to indict, could have found a way to do so.
Mueller's plan is clearly to convict Trump
in the court of public opinion and damage Trump politically, since he cannot prosecute Trump based on the facts.
