Page 3, Obstruction of Justice: "...After making a “thorough factual investligation” into these matters, the Special Counsel considered whether to evaluate the conduct under Department standards governing prosecution and declination decisions but ultimately determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment. The Special Counsel therefore did not draw a conclusion - one way or the other - as to whether the examined conduct constituted obstruction. Instead, for each of the relevant actions investigated, the report sets out evidence on both sides of the question and leaves unresolved what the Special Counsel views as “difficult issues” of law and fact concerning whether the President’s actions and intent could be viewed as obstruction. The Special Counsel states that “while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

Weasel Mueller is trying to say I would have loved to nail the President but I couldn’t find the smoking gun.

Don’t care. Politically, the report amounts to an exoneration of the President. That’s all that really matters in the court of public opinion.

The Trump haters have been routed.

" . . . determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment . . . "


Very strange phrasing. It sounds like they are trying to say, "We found the President's actions were not criminal, but we want to make it sound like they were."
