  • Source: 15 Ways the Mueller Report Proves Trump Did Not Obstruct Justice

    Strictly for partisan and political purposes, and as a deliberate way to politically damage Trump, Mueller and his gang of partisan investigators laid out a media-friendly listicle of ten items they believe could-possibly-maybe-perhaps-kinda be construed as Trump obstructing justice.

    But the sheer volume of examples exonerates Trump because no prosecutor would fail to file or fail to recommend the filing of charges with ten pieces of evidence. Mueller admits he could not prosecute an obstruction case in court, which means he knows he has no case, which means Trump is innocent.

      Whether or not Mueller believed he could indict is irrelevant because he could have still recommended it, or said plainly that the president was guilty of obstruction of justice without addressing the question of indictment, but he didn't. Instead, he openly admitted that "this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime" with regards to obstruction.

        You’re making the same mistake that seer made; second guessing Mueller. There’s no need to interpret anything because he has been very precise.

          I'm not second guessing anything. I'm simply stating what Mueller did and didn't do. And what he didn't do was charge Trump with a crime, or recommend that Trump be charged with crime, nor did he plainly say that Trump was guilty of committing a crime. What he did do is say that "this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime".

            He also said that if he had concluded that Trump had not committed obstruction, he would have said so. The result is that Trump might still be indicted after he leaves office, or before that if congress decides to impeach. I don’t think they will.

                Does anybody remember Jimmy disparaging other Attorneys General, like Loretta Lynch or Eric Holder as political hacks or "unelected toadies"?

                  Imagine the reaction if Trump had described William Barr as his "wingman."

                  Imagine the reaction if Donald Jr. or Jared Kushner had a secret meeting with Barr on the tarmac of an airport in which the Secret Service detail was told to step outside while they talked supposedly only about golf and grandkids.

                    Proving a negative would have been quite a trick.

                      The point is that the evidence of obstruction is very strong. It appears that Trump was saved by the doctrine that a sitting President cannot be indicted.

                        It would be more like evidence of ATTEMPTED obstruction - where he was accused, but not found guilty, of a totally different offense.

                          Eric Holder: 'I'm still the president's wingman'


                          Attorney General Eric Holder brushed off a question Thursday about when he might leave the administration. Instead, the top lawman professed his allegiance to President Barack Obama.

                          "I’m still enjoying what I’m doing, there’s still work to be done. I’m still the President’s wing-man, so I’m there with my boy. So we’ll see," Holder said in an interview on the Tom Joyner radio show.


                          JimL is now having a heart attack.

                            And Lynch....

                            June 27, 2016 - Lynch and former President Clinton have a private meeting on an airport tarmac in Phoenix. Clinton boards Lynch's plane and the two talk for half an hour. The encounter raises eyebrows because the FBI is investigating Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server to store government documents during her tenure as secretary of state. Although Lynch denies discussing anything substantive with the former president, she later says that she regrets the encounter. She adds that she will accept whatever recommendations the FBI makes once the agency concludes its Clinton probe. Some Republican lawmakers suggest that Lynch should recuse herself from the investigation.


                            Talk about COLLUSION!!!! Jimmy is absolutely LIVID!!!!

                              This from Politico;
                              Though Mueller determined there was no “collusion” between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, he makes clear that proving obstruction does not require the existence of such an underlying crime. There are many reasons, including fear of personal embarrassment, to explain why the president might have tried to impede the special counsel’s investigation. “The injury to the integrity of the justice system is the same regardless of whether a person committed an underlying wrong,” Mueller wrote. Moreover, Mueller’s team “found multiple acts by the President that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations.”

                                I suppose that's why Mueller said, "This report does not conclude that the President committed a crime."
