It’s a circular defense created by a prior conclusion. If there was no evidence of intentional wrongdoing, the downstream events cannot be prosecuted. This is by design.
____________
With that in mind, how could the Bill Barr DOJ prosecute on evidence of behavior from within a report where the Rod Rosenstein DOJ conclusion was no evidence of “intentional wrongdoing”?"
In short, he can’t.

I think they are all too old to be in any position of authority. Insanity or borderline. Hard to believe Mueller is “respected”. He is a mental mess.
I’ll bet Mueller’s ‘fixer’ attorney wife advised this ‘circular defense’ in the OIG report.
Don’t know anywhere else online that got most of this correct to date. We don’t know all the evidence and where it leaves, but CTH outlines some of the limitations.
Right now, it’s an all-out war not seen since JFK promised to break up the CIA into a thousand pieces.
Sessions , in my opinion, was the “Insurance”. Horowitz and Huber are the evidence.
These legal niceties are irrelevant. There is plenty of evidence that Spy-gate occurred and much of it is already safely in the public domain - that’s not the problem.
The deep state coup attempt was undertaken with reckless abandon in the belief that Hillary Clinton would be POTUS. Mountains of incontrovertible evidence against hundreds of coconspirators at every level of the Obama administration piled up in the months leading up to the 2016 election, because in their arrogance, the perpetrators were confident they would be rewarded, and certainly never punished.
Much of the evidence is in the form of self-incriminating communications - they weren’t even hiding their actions - often they were boasting about them in order to endear themselves to the soon-to-be Clinton Administration.
Only after Donald Trump won the election did the coup attempt become a cleanup operation - but there was never any chance of that being successful - there is too much evidence already secured.
The real reason that there will be no high level indictments or convictions of Spy-gate coconspirators is that such things NEVER happen. And it’s not because of a two-tiered justice system or a truce between the Bushes and the Trumps.
It is because it requires more than legal due process to get a conviction on political crimes - it requires the political will in the Senate to do so - which in turn depends on public outrage, which can only be ginned up by the Left, against the Right, through use of the MSM propaganda ministry.
Regardless of what the law says or what the evidence shows, a crime is only a “scandal” when the MSM wants it to be. And unless a crime is perceived by the public as a Watergate style “scandal”, the wheels of political justice (impeachment, threat of removal, resignation) simply will not turn, because politicians are ultimately guided only by sticking their wet finger in the air to see which way the political winds are blowing. President Trump is in the clear because the MSM has failed to gin up sufficient public outrage against him, so the Senate will not vote to remove him.
As for former Presidents or their high level cabinet appointees being put in jail or executed - just tell me the last time that happened.
