Mueller was a DOJ employee bound by the OLC opinion that says you cannot indict a sitting President. I assume he was following that rule in how he framed things. He laid out plenty of facts showing that Trump committed crimes. Bart (and Trump) tried to spin that into exoneration. Mueller clearly said that there was no exoneration. The facts are enough to indict Trump when he leaves office it the successor DOJ is so inclined. 

 

 

Chris you're overlooking some facts. It's true that Mueller believed he was prohibited from indicting our traitor in chief by DOJ policy based on a single memo written by law clerk in the 70's with zero constitutional basis,  but even with this at a given Mueller added a strange new twist,  which even Barr said was strange. This was that Mueller couldn't even say that golden toilet emperor had committed any crimes. because it would be unfair to the orange turd to say he committed any crime if he couldn't be indicted. He steadfastly refused to acknowledge that Trump had committed any crimes at all during the hearing. This was immensely helpful to Trump and the GOP. But this is only the tip of the Iceberg. Mueller also did not investigate Trump's financial crimes which were at the very heart of his Russian collusion. And speaking of collusion, , Mueller applied a ridiculous standard to clear Trump of any charges of conspiracy with Russia during the 2016 election. He also gave a complete pass to the crimes of Trump Jr who was at least as guilty as some of the people Mueller ended up indicting. And the ONLY action of Trump that he couldn't exonerate was Trump multiple attempts at obstruction of justice. In other words, had Trump have had the brain power to just keep his mouth shut and play along with this "investigation" Mueller would have in fact totally exonerated him. 

 

 

Mueller’s role is now over. The action shifts to the states and to Congress (and, of course, in 2020, to the voters, subject to the usual bullshit surrounding voter suppression and the Electoral College) 

 

I suspect that the Senate will just ignore any impeachment and the Supreme court will uphold Trump's stonewalling. Also, I think Barr will try to throw any unfavorably election results into the supreme court to ensure Trump gets a second term.  We all know how the court will rule ,  5/4 of course.
