Saying that what Trump did is "obstruction of justice", in a legal sense, is not what the Mueller Report (even with the biased Mueller team driving) concluded. Mueller testified that he was allowed to conclude his investigation "unencumbered."

Suppose I wanted to convince the world that you are guilty of fraud (I do not believe you are guilty). I see that "misrepresentation" is a synonym. I find something you posted somewhere that contained an error. I wrongly accuse you of fraud. Since you have posted on a conservative forum, the media and Twitter universe repeat my claim.

You may honestly believe that Trump is guilty of "obstruction of justice," but if so, why would you try to convince FR readers? You might have more success elsewhere. But even some relatively sane "progressives" realize that, unless real evidence appears, that that charge is nonsense.

Aaron Mate and Jimmy Dore are good examples.

I am not convinced he is guilty of OOJ. I agree with the stance taken by Mate and Dore. I am simply pointing out the allegations. Mueller’s statements are contradictory. He says what you indicated below, but he also says there were instances of non-cooperation and obstruction. He is not willing to say “there was no OOJ”, just that it was decided that a charge to that effect will not be pursued. I think we ought to appreciate the maddening nuances of the report and acknowledge them.
