Bob Mueller had one $40M job.

To find or not find if our President collided with Russia.

He spoke in riddles and vagueness but he refused to do good faith and his news conference is questionable at best.

What a disgrace.

Mueller: if there’s one thing this country needs right now it’s for me to go on television & make some incredibly vague statements that everyone will read their own opinions into.

It’s for the best, for America

Dear President @realDonaldTrump:

I would like to apologize on behalf of the crooked cop Robert Mueller and his sham investigation. His press conference should have been two words:

NO COLLUSION!

Perhaps he is waiting to apologize in private!

Watching Chuck Todd on NBC. He’s deluded with dreams of impeachment... Giddy over it... Pushing for it... Cuz Mueller couldn’t prove a negative...

My wife can’t stop laughing.

But most of the substance was on obstruction. Mueller reiterated that the Office of Special Counsel could not clearly determine that Trump did not commit a crime, or it would have said so. “‘If we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.”

This is a completely unfair standard and not what prosecutors normally due — investigations are not to find that a person did not commit a crime, but to find if the person did commit a crime.

More important, Mueller made clear that he considered the Special Counsel’s Office bound by DOJ policy against charging a sitting president with a crime, so his office never reached a determination one way or the other. Mueller made clear that under the Constitution, there were other mechanisms for dealing with a president accused of wrongdoing. Without mentioning impeachment proceedings, Mueller certainly must have intended to suggest it.

If that is Mueller’s view, that his office’s hands were legally tied from even reaching a decision, then why investigate at all? And why issue an opinion that he could not find “with confidence” the president was not guilty? Mueller could have expressed an opinion on guilt short of charging the president, much as he expressed an opinion that he could not find the president clearly not guilty.

Mueller breathed life into Democrat impeachment push, and may have just reelected Trump
