Mueller Report Imminent

[Franklin Pierce]

That is just Red State's obnoxious spin on what CNN said... nobody expected Mueller's testimony to provide any "bombshell" revelations. Mueller didn't venture away from the confines of the report... just like he had previously said he wouldn't.

Been watching CNN. Wolf and a three person panel.

Consensus was that Mueller did not perform well and didn’t give the Democrats what they wanted. Said the blame is on the democrats,though, for their demanding Mueller testify before Congress.

Exoneration: noun ... the action of officially absolving someone from blame; vindication, acquittal, discharge.

Sorry, but you don't get to alter the definition of a word to meet your needs. Trump was not officially absolved of obstruction. The Mueller report makes that very clear, and Mueller repeated that himself today.

Prosecutors don't exonerate. That's what I meant by Insufficient Evidence = exoneration. If you don't have the evidence, they are innocent by legal definition.

Only One small problem with that statement. Muller is the prosecutor, not the judge. It's not his job to exonerate, its his job to prosecute nothing more, or not, as he chooses.

You are still misusing the word. That report did not exonerate Trump.

...and he didn't. So, to claim otherwise... is false.

Well accept for all those arrests and indictments.....

process crimes, crimes not related to Russia and Russians that will never see the inside of a court room in the USA save one company. They pulled a mind freak showed up and asked for discovery. Instant request for more time before trial.

So he is still innocent.

They got what they wanted in terms of having Mueller on video saying that his report did not exonerate the President of obstruction. That won't put an end to Trump's rants... but it is a counterpoint.

 

[hog88]

LOL of course he isn't.

He has the presumption of innocence but not an exoneration. Mueller even said that Trump could be prosecuted for obstruction after he leaves office.

 

[AirVol]

On the one hand, Wallace is conceding that the hearing won't change any minds... so, how can it be considered a "disaster"? That is typical Fox News hyperbole. At worst, it was a waste of time. Mueller simply wasn't engaged in the hearing. It was pretty obvious that he didn't want to be there and he wasn't going to go the extra mile to defend the report from partisan attacks. He was caught not remembering some things that were in the report and it didn't look like he had prepared himself at all. However, whenever Trump goes on one of his "no collusion, no obstruction" rants in the future, the Democrats will have a video to point to, instead of just a written report. That is a positive.

Lol. Did you accidentally take your pets’ worm pills?

...and he didn't. So, to claim otherwise... is false.

Meaning... He's innocent. Fair point to point out the misuse of a word.

 

[BowlBrother85]

I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. Did you take your wife's Herp-B-Gone?

What's this magical obstruction theme you keep harping about? There was nothing to obstruct for no crime.

[NurseGoodVol]

I think they will move to impeach.
They are claiming it did not go as the democrats had hoped because he didn't provide one or two great 5 second sound bites, which appears to be the only thing many Americans can process.

He said that there was obstruction, witness tampering, and conspiracy (collusion).

Quick poll - how many people on here that watched even processed those major but simple facts?

They have him for obstruction....

 

[BowlBrother85]

Whether or not there must be an underlying crime for obstruction to take place is a matter of debate. I have heard it argued both ways.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

How many votes are they going to take on impeachment before they give up?

How many Armageddons have i been promised?

 

[BreatheUT]

You and I must be watching completely different hearings then.

No you and a couple buddies on hear was watching a different hearing that the rest of the world.

Can we get a Matrix gif some somebody?

 

[luthervol]

keep telling yourself that Cletus. You lose

I'm working up a couple of hypotheses regarding people who use the term "Cletus".

 

[NurseGoodVol]

You still haven't provide proof of this. Saying it over & over again doesn't make it true.

Have you met Luther?

 

[BreatheUT]

I looked for it on FOX, but Wendy Williams was on. Every other major network was carrying it. I think FNC just realizes that their audience prefers to be told what to think about it through Hannity.

ooooooh please regale us with some more theories from such a highly educated little girl.


You lose.

he was referring to any president being prosecuted after they are out of office.
