All three should be behind bars.

Special prosecutor Mueller’s statement upon the shuttering of his two-year investigation into the Trump campaign was weird even by the standards of the weirdness of the past couple of years. “Charging the president with a crime was not something we could consider,” he reported. Indeed, even pursuing that question, he added, would have been unconstitutional under long-standing Justice Department guidelines.
But then he said that if his office could have exonerated the president, it would have: “If we had confidence the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.”
Granted, he said pretty much the same thing in the report he produced: “If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the president clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state.”
His statement was only 8 minutes long. The report is 400 pages long. It matters what he chose to repeat from it and what he did not. He wanted the American people to hear him speak those words. He wanted to emphasize this point.
The “I couldn’t exonerate him” point is discomfiting for another reason, which is: Since when do prosecutors exonerate people? That isn’t a prosecutor’s job. Maybe in the aftermath of a wrongful conviction, with irrefutable physical evidence, prosecutors will say something exculpatory. But even in most of these cases, they usually drop charges on grounds of insufficient evidence, not positive proof of innocence.
The obvious rejoinder here is that the president of the United States isn’t just any person and that it is bad for our government and our country for a dark cloud to hang over the president’s head. Therefore,dissipating that cloud would be a good thing (even if such a purpose was not in any way Mueller’s charge when he was hired in 2017).

All three should be behind bars.
Sessions washed his hands of responsibility. ‘If you want peace, prepare for war’. Sessions did not want to wage political war with the Dems. He chose the easy route because he knew he was ill equipped. Trump should have fired him as soon as it was evident he was no soldier.
This is proof that Mueller was both but a deep swamp minion. This is just him continuing the coup attempt. He is the Benedict Arnold of the 21st century!
If I had a Uranium One investigation pending, I wouldn’t be throwing grenades on my way out the door, Bob.
I think Robert is the wrong first name for him.
I think he should be Richard, because he really is a Dick.
Benedict Arnold maybe, but more like a backstabbing Democrat like Nathan Bedford Forrest, who kept murdering the future after the battle was lost and causing untold damage to the Union and the Republic, to his Eternal Shame.
I watched his idiocy and it seemed to me that he was scared and would have wet his pants if someone yelled “Booo”. I don’t know why he came across as fearful, maybe it’s because he knows what is coming if and when the Russian Hoax documents are finally released.
One big question I’ve always had is, if he was charged with investigating “Russian interference” in the 2016 election, why didn’t he investigate Clinton obvious involvement with the Russians and the fact that the dossier was at least partially of Russian origin
For Mueller and his merry band of Clintonites to come out with a 440-page “report” and not this statement by Mueller, how can anyone with any sense even take either of these events seriously since they were designed to “get Trump” any way they could.
Mueller’s past includes framing innocent people.
John Durham (recently appointed by AG Barr to investigate the origins of the Mueller investigation) turns out was the Special Prosecutor appointed by Janet Reno who uncovered Robert Mueller’s role, then head of the FBI Boston Office, in sending 4 innocent men to prison in the 1990’s. Durham sent one FBI agent to prison for 10 years but was unable to prosecute Mueller because Janet Reno limited his powers at the time.
I don’t think AG Barr is going to limit his powers this time. I think Durham wants a rematch and Trump and AG Barr just gave it to him.
Read it for yourself.
“Back in the late 1990s, there were “allegations that FBI informants James ‘Whitey’ Bulger and Stephen ‘The Rifleman’ Flemmi had corrupted their handlers.
So, in 1999, Janet Reno appointed John Durham as Special Prosecutor and charged him with investigating FBI corruption in Boston.
As it turned out, FBI agents aided mass murderer, Whitey Bulger and hid his crimes. Bulger was a protected informant.
Durham sent one agent involved to prison for 10 years.
Then-US Attorney, Robert Mueller is probably the one who should have landed in the pen. He allowed four innocent men to be sent to prison for a murder he knew they didn’t commit. He did it to protect Bulger.
One of the four men was in Florida at the time of the murder and could not have committed the murder.
When Durham went through the documents. He found that the four men, Enrico Tameleo, Joseph Salvati, Peter J. Limone, and Louis Greco, had actually been framed.
Four people who were innocent were kept in jail for years in order to protect the status of Whitey Bulger as an FBI informant.”
The Boston Globe wrote:
“[Mike] Albano [former Parole Board Member who was threatened by two F.B.I. agents for considering parole for the men imprisoned for a crime they did not commit] was appalled that, later that same year, Mueller was appointed FBI director, because it was Mueller, first as an assistant US attorney then as the acting U.S. attorney in Boston, who wrote letters to the parole and pardons board throughout the 1980s opposing clemency for the four men framed by FBI lies. Of course, Mueller was also in that position while Whitey Bulger was helping the FBI cart off his criminal competitors even as he buried bodies in shallow graves along the Neponset…”
In December 2000, Durham revealed secret FBI documents that convinced a judge to vacate the 1968 murder convictions of ”four other FBI informants because they’d been framed by Robert Mueller’s FBI.
“In 2007,” to help protect Whitey Bulger (that’s what all those people were held in jail for) “the documents helped Salvati, Limone, and the families of the two other men who had died in prison to win a US $101.7 million civil judgment against the government.”
Durham got the two surviving framed men released from prison.
Robert Mueller was knee-deep in this scandal, along with Andrew Weissman and the agent sent to prison, but because Reno gave him very limited authority, Durham was not able to prosecute Mueller, who was not in the FBI at the time.
Mueller kept four innocent people in jail for years to protect the informant status of Whitey Bulger, a mass-murdering Boston mobster who ended up dying in California, and it ended up costing the government $100 million plus in civil judgments.”
“...Basically a compromised, corrupt man who is himself running scared...”
Yep, running from justice and more exposure. As fast as he can. Like the establishment and swamp rat that he is.
who kept murdering the future
It was an obvious cheap shot if his report was his entire testimony why was he making signals to Congress in a final appearance today without being subject to questioning.
It’s not a good idea to insult a guy like Barr who doesn’t need another job and has a lifetime of injustices piled up that he wants to clear up.

I hope and pray it will be done......hope can lift spirits, prayer can move mountains......;)
Sessions is a modern day Pontius Pilate.
Replying to:
No he’s a %@%@ing son of a wh@re.
That ####.
I will stop typing on this subject before I get banned.
Me too...can’t finish the thoughts I have about the the so called FORMER HONORED MARINE AND HEAD OF FBI WHO HAS SERVER THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS WITH SUCH DISTINCTION AND ALL THE CRAP I HAVE PREVIOUSLY SEEN WRITTEN ABOUT THE RAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who has in on so many different shenanigans I have read about over the last few years that sound totally illegal and under handed!!!!!!!!!!!!
by killing the truth
My fondest dream at the moment is that when mueller (and comey and weissman) go to prison, that they are put in the general population, right among people who they themselves sent there.
Barr should get the laugh laugh, subpeona the bastard to a GJ set up to investigate the origins of the trump fiasco. Get him on the record and parse every blasted word he says verses his public and court statements looking for a perjury trap.
If his report is actually his testimony, then he shouldn't have any problem with attaching his signature and an oath to the document. And then being ready to defend himself from perjury charges if it turns out if there is anything untrue in the report.
