Mueller told Trump's legal team he will not indict the president, Giuliani tells Fox News
Fox News ^ | 5/16/2018 | Fox News

President Trump's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, told Fox News Wednesday that special counsel Robert Mueller has told the president's legal team he will follow Justice Department guidance and not seek an indictment against Trump. Giuliani, himself a former federal prosecutor and mayor of New York City, also told Fox that Mueller's investigators have not responded to five information requests from the president's team. That has forced Trump's legal team to push off making a decision about whether the president will sit for an interview with the special counsel -- a decision they had hoped to reach by Thursday. The precedent that federal prosecutors cannot indict a sitting president is laid out in a 1999 Justice Department memo. Giuliani told Fox News that Mueller has no choice but to follow its guidance. "This case is essentially over," Giuliani said. "They're just in denial."

Yes, for that. The liberal media went on and on about how Trump Junior committed treason. Mueller has filed BS charges on Russian trolls and BS charges on Flynn, but nothing related to collusion. Mueller can’t indict President Trump. His only hope of keeping the BS collusion narrative alive is Trump Junior. Every day the deep state is getting weaker and President Trump is getting stronger. Does Mueller have the balz to indict Junior? Were the transcripts related to the Trump Tower meeting released to pre-empt an attempt by Mueller to do so? The stakes couldn’t be higher.

You are not allowed to lie to the FBI, but the FBI can lie to you.

Mueller is still going to release any information that will embarrass Trump or induce Congressional Democrats to start an impeachment

It just sounds like wordplay to me. I will believe it’s over when Herr Mueller says “we are concluding the investigation phase.”


He won't do that without more indictments. Even if he indicts innocent people for process crimes.

No, not by a long shot. It may not be an indictment, but it will say something like "gross negligence and shocking lack of appropriate boundaries when dealing with foreign parties, indicating dereliction of duty."

That last phrase will be enough to impeach him. Not legal, but political...

not indict, just dig up impeachment dirt....


YES! I agree with Bill Cunningham and Mark Levin.

Mueller will decide he has the godlike power to judge Trump and will rise above us all with a smear job slander sheet saying too bad we can’t indict the criminally guilty Trump but you guys get him with impeachment based on these innuendoes and illegally taken evidence and lies told by panicky browbeaten staffers to save themselves from process crime prison terms.

Guliani says Trump won’t be indicted.
Trump now can say “Gosh and Golly! I’m going to speak freely and candidly now and tell Mueller everything I know. Being President is fun. Book some interview time with Mueller when his schedule is free.”

Let’s hope SOMEONE will convince Trump to stay totally silent.

If not, our trust and love for Trump may have been wasted.

I think it’s a good thing that Mueller admitted that he is not supposed to indict Trump, becuse I’ll bet there are some rogue federal judges who would have no problem indicting him.

Great. In the meantime, who’s going to indict Mueller?

Yep. But the Qidiots that are part of the Qanon Cult will use this as proof Mueller is a white hat working on Team Trump.

“Question: How effective would Trump be if the process was cast as political persecution? How much support would Trump have among those of us who have concluded that a military intervention is necessary to restore the rule of law? “

Not sure...If we had some public hangings right off the bat, that would have put these treason co-conspirators on their heels.

“It really is becoming time to bring in the military to conduct judicial tribunals to try, convict and punish the 100s (1000s?) of conspirators that attempted to illegally overthrow the lawfully constructed government elected by the people.”

Without a doubt

Not by a long shot. Mueller is on a fishing expedition, looking for evidence that would impeach PDJT , in expectation that the “Blue Waive” is going to result in Liberal Fascist Democrat control of the House after the Nov. 3 election.

Mueller is part of a criminal racketeering syndicate at the FBI , and DOJ, and they all should be prosecuted under RICO Statutes. This syndicate of democrat mafia want to thwart the electoral will of the People and get rid of President Trump. (Then Mike Pense would be their worst nightmare.)
