Mueller Report Imminent

[BearCat204]

I think the Senate is charged with deciding guilt, but I could be wrong.

Job of the Senate, yes

 

[volfanjustin]

He explained why he didn’t do that.

Less than an hour ago.

Because he didn't have anything.

“If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,”

 

[BearCat204]

That is essentially what I was saying. If they appear impotent, it equates to political backlash. The expectations of the Dem/Moderate base will shift towards impeachment, I believe. Doing nothing is looking more like political suicide.

How is this and "they believe Trump will attempt to obstruct impeachment inquiries/proceedings to the point that it makes them seem impotent" essentially the same?

Mueller could've still declared Trump guilty in the report without indicting him.

Again, him using that DOJ statute to try to justify his decisions is just plain stupid.

Correct

How does a prosecutor decide guilt? He literally said it was the DOJ's policy not to charge a sitting president, no matter what.

Mueller knew there was no collusion before he even started this charade. He looked very nervous in his statement. Something is about to drop.

He explained why he didn’t do that.

And in the report. That has been out for over a month.

Sadly, you can't understand it for him. Watching him struggle with this is sad.

Indicting and saying there is evidence that they are guilty are really different things IMO. (At least when acting in the capacity that Mueller and his team were in this situation)

If it goes badly for Trump, it will be tweets about Mueller being a secret Democrat and employing 18 angry Democrats (which is simply a fable by Trump). If it goes well for Trump, he will tout how smart and credible Mueller is.

And the GOP sheeple in the Senate, at Fox, and Walmart cashiers across the midwest will dutifully follow suit.

Remind me again , who carried the state of Florida in 2016 ?

Dumb Mr. Polymath

I want to see more about why he and Barr are directly contradicting each other. There were more people in that room and hopefully they will speak before Congress on this.

What’s quickly getting lost in the narrative is the results of the initial charge given to Mueller. There were exactly zero indictments on anybody in the Trump campaign related to conspiracy in the Russian election tampering. That’s a pretty clear statement, in fact he said while it was clear that individuals in the campaign could see the help they might get nobody engaged the Russians. In the report they outlined that in fact the campaign resisted efforts of the Russians to engage.

So who’s watch did this interference happen on? And what action was taken in response to the knowledge of the activity while it was ongoing? Why isn’t that being discussed/looked into?

My own inference on the non-decision decision of obstruction was Trump telling the Muell to piss off on the interviews. I’m guessing that didn’t sit well with the Muell and he implied as much I’m his speech. And I don’t blame Trump. I wouldn’t have talked to him either.

Without a conclusion/findings section where the team recommends specific actions, this whole thing looks more and more like political theater.

Because, if he is successful, they look weak. It doesn't matter now, Mueller just gave a sufficient nudge to make it happen.

Yes impeachment is the equivalent of indictment of a sitting POTUS and the Senate conducts the trial to determine guilt or innocence.

Mueller had pressure on him to find something but he could not. He was squirming in that speech.

They knew that from the beginning and now since there was no collusion and their slimy hero even said it they no longer care about that

 

[volfanjustin]

“If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,”

He had a report and a press conf and had every opportunity to say the President committed a crime.

Yeah but Andrew Napolitano is a flaming lib. Right. Right?

 

[FLVOL_79]

So basically Mueller said he wrote a report and that's that. Glad he cleared things up for everyone!

 

[Matt2496]

Yeah but Andrew Napolitano is a flaming lib. Right. Right?

Lib no. Never Trumper yes.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Btw does anybody know if any of the Dims have bothered to read the unredacted report yet so they can get their notes in order for drafting the impeachment declarations?
