And your point is?

Quote:And FTR - Didn't the Mueller report point out several things that congress could investigate trump on for potential impeachable offenses if they so choose? And didn't he say it was not his charge to make those determinations?

So he spent 2+ years as a special counsel with virtually an unlimited budget and could not find one thing to prosecute except for a bunch of unrelated process crimes by underlings?

This thing was a lynch mob from the start. I sincerely hope the senate or someone pursues this to whatever level is necessary to uncover whatever went on.

Dude, the investigation was for Russian meddling, not Russian collusion. Sorry that you've been taken in by the right-wing meme machine on it. And again, per policy, the investigation never allowed him to prosecute. It left it to congress.

Quote:That statement was more in line with his report, and with his earlier opening statement to the Judiciary Committee, where he said, "Based on Justice Department policy and principles of fairness, we decided we would not make a determination as to whether the President committed a crime. That was our decision then and it remains our decision today."

Mueller clarifies comments on whether he could indict Trump

The investigation was for Russian meddling—but it didn’t investigate that.

Complete nonsense.

Quote:Consistent with the special counsel’s mandate, the first volume of the Mueller report focuses on “the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.” Toward this end, its first two substantive sections go into depth on Russia’s “active measures” social media campaign, as well as the “hacking and dumping” operations through which it accessed and disseminated private emails from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and others. Both provide a fascinating account of Russian influence operations, but neither adds much to the indictments that the Mueller team has previously filed against involved persons. Instead, the important element of Volume 1 is the discussion of “Russian government links to and contacts with the Trump campaign”—or the possibility of what some might describe as “collusion.”

What Mueller Found on Russia and on Obstruction: A First Analysis

It was NOT the Investigation of Russian Collusion. It was the Investigation of Russian Collusion and the Trump Campaign, because there is not a damn word about the OTHER presidential campaign mentioned and their relationship with Russians.
