Mueller: Charging the President with a crime “Was not an option we could consider”
Am I missing something? If they could not charge POTUS with a crime, then doesn’t that mean that they were NOT investigating him? Doesn’t that mean that they had to be investigating someone(s) ELSE????? Otherwise, what was the point of the investigation????
So, WHO was being investigated?
RM doesn’t seem to have addressed that. (Though I confess I only heard bits of it on the radio in between running errands. Gotta listen/watch the whole thing later.)

There are rules that say a sitting president cannot be indicted, therefore for Mueller to charge him but not indict him and go trial would be unfair, legally speaking.

He did address it basically said the people needed to know what happened.
What I'm curious about is Barr told congress that he talked to Mueller about no charges for obstruction and Mueller told him the "you can't charge a sitting president" precedent DID NOT enter into his determination.
Somebody is fibbing...
