Despite Attorney General William Barrs assurances and President Donald Trumps boasts, the Mueller report doesnt come close to exonerating the president of wrongdoing. Instead, it invites Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings. Its time for Congress to heed that invitation.
In its extensive discussion of the constitutional issues implicated by special counsel Robert Mueller's 22-month investigation, the report asserts that Congress has the authority to apply law to all persons including the President. Specifically, Congress may protect its own legislative functions against corrupt efforts designed to impede legitimate fact-gathering and lawmaking efforts. The authority to prohibit a presidents corrupt use of power, the report finds, is essential to our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law.
The report declines to reach a judgment on whether the president has committed a crime because Mueller views himself as bound by Department of Justice policy against indicting a sitting president. This does not mean that the president has not committed a crime. Indeed, Muellers refusal to reach a judgment is based partly on principles of fairness to the president: while people accused of a crime usually have the opportunity to give their story at trial, in this case, when no charges can be brought, the accused has no opportunity to clear his name. Mueller pointedly notes that the sitting presidents immunity, however, would not preclude prosecution once the President's term is over or he is otherwise removed from office that is, impeached.
In these passages, Mueller invites Congress to take action, either through impeachment or by exposing a disgraced but politically acquitted Trump to criminal prosecution after he is no longer president so long as that time comes within the five-year statute of limitations for obstruction.

Desperate and more desperate.
They’re terrified that it’s really going to be gone and that Trump will come after them.
This is the Hail Mary last ditch pass to see if they can get anywhere near the goal.
One last Big Con: it’s...it’s...Obstruction! Yeah, Yeah! When you fight back against our Frames, yer..yer...guilty!
Psychopaths all: they never quit.
Poor little baby never made it to the Supremes.
I think this stuff is weird.
2 years of investigation and everyone knows they have nothing. Explicitly and exactly Nothing. No crime. Nada. And so they seem to be pushing for a quick finding of Guilty.
What?
Pulled his nose out of the Clinton family ass long enough to give his uneducated opinion?
No person is above the law?
It seems there are a bunch of people are - beginning with Hillary, Lois Lynch, on and on.
And Comey, Clapper, B and M Ohr, Strozk, Page, McCabe, Halper, Mifsud, Brennan, Podesta, Rhee, Weissmann and...drum roll plz....his Imperial Majesty, Grand Inquisitor Mueller.
..drum roll plz....his Imperial Majesty, Grand Inquisitor Mueller.
Everyday you can find morons posting about hate as if hate were a bad thing.
Tribe doesn’t really believe that an impeachment will be initiated by the DemonRats (despite the bleatings by say a dozen or so of the most nutty ones)... Tribe is just setting himself up for a two year gig working for a network where the enemedia will carry out their own mock impeachment in the effort to help their Democrat friends in 2020.
The Mueller investigation was never about collusion. It was about the Deep State trying to protect its own, paralyze the Trump presidency and ensuring he would either be impeached or not re-elected.
He wanted that badly & now you never even hear of the guy.
But note this. You tried and failed so now it will be his turn and I just bet when you Nadler are put under the same scrutiny it will result in criminal charges against you and yours.
This be treason.
And BTW,Larry....Professor Dershowitz disagrees with you.Vigorously disagrees!
Tribe’s name must certainly be on a list of a nature such as the visitor log at Epstein’s pedo island temple.
You tell’em Larry baby. Get those morons fired up to make fools of themselves as some of them are going to prison. Thank you God for NEVER allowing this hate filled turd onto our Supreme Court.
