Wrong again. There was nothing to charge him with or anyone else- why do you think not one American citizen was indicted for collusion or obstruction? Mueller clearly said others could have been charged pursuant to his power if the evidence was there. Guess what? Not one American was indicted for either.
Directly from the statement today, "The order appointing the special counsel authorized us to investigate actions that could obstruct the investigation. And we conducted that investigation and we kept the office of the acting attorney general apprised of the progress of our work. And as set forth in the report after that investigation, if we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime. The introduction to the volume two of our report explains that decision. It explains that under long-standing department policy, a president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. That is unconstitutional. Even if the charge is kept under seal and hidden from public view, that too is prohibited. The special counsel's office is part of the Department of Justice and by regulation it was bound by that department policy. Charging the president with a crime was, therefore, not an option we could consider."
Mueller said today the only reason they didn't charge him was because they couldn't. Just like he said in the report at the time.
Read it yourself man.
No American was charged for obstruction because the President is the one who committed obstruction of justice and he cannot be charged.
Mueller quit his job today and closed down the investigation. And CNN is talking about “does this open the door for impeachment????” LMAO!
Show me in that statement where he said Trump committed obstruction. Underline it. It isn’t there.
And there it is folks. SOCIALISM.
He never said that at all. Not once. There is not one statement saying he committed obstruction.

I don't know why I have to bold it for you in the same quote I just posted...
That is not what he said but, that is what far left loons heard. Simple fact.
Well those state together don't have the vote totals of PA alone, so of course the vote totals are closely. You think you have a point with that? Of those, only NH's % total was closer than the PA vote %. Mock all you want, but you need a mirror.
I just heard the man say they didn’t determine if Trump committed a crime. I heard him say it from fis mouth, today.
You cant be this stupid. Him saying he cant say Trump didn’t commit a crime doesn’t mean he committed one. All he had to do was say- TRUMP COMMITTED OBSTRUCTION. He couldn’t make that statement. He also stated, which you conveniently left out, WE DID NOT MAKE THE DETERMINATION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE PRESIDENT DID COMMIT A CRIME.
As if the US will kowtow to China with Trump in charge. Obama? Now he'd have already caved long ago - and happily. LOL.
Because they couldn't as prohibited by DoJ rule. Otherwise they would have. So they gave it to the appropriate constitutional agent, Congress.
He couldn't make that statement because of the DoJ rule. That's why it's bolded in the quote for you...
Possibly true, but he could have indicated Don Jr and didn’t.
He could have easily made the simple statement- Trump committed obstruction. He never said it.
No he couldn't. That's what he said in the statement today and the report at the time. That's why he made today's statement, to clear up misunderstandings about the limitations he was under. "The special counsel's office is part of the Department of Justice and by regulation it was bound by that department policy. Charging the president with a crime was, therefore, not an option we could consider." Read it yourself I've posted it twice.
Lol! Wrong again. Just because he couldn’t act on it, doesn’t mean he couldn’t make the statement. After all, he made it unequivocally clear- there was no collusion.
Making the statement and acting on it are two different things. How you don’t see that clearly reflects you are blind to the facts on purpose.
Lol @ ballers.
You can smell the desperation. I've never seen a "try-hard" this badly since the early days of awful shit posts from fuzz/rq.
He's sitting on the toilet and shits on the floor. Complete whiff on every post.

He was under no limitations to state Trump obstructed. What he couldn’t do was act on his finding if he felt that way.

So with Mueller basically hanging up the cleats today, can we finally put the collusion BS to bed? Biggest waste of 2 years since Billy Gillispie.
Yes
Mueller could have said that he would have recommended charges if it were constitutional. He didn’t
So when Obama was doing all that heinous shit that made you hate him....were the Democrats acting like you guys are right now?
Dismissive?
Shifting blame?
Bringing up DEEP STATE conspiracy theories?
You guys have acknowledged time and time again that Trump is a slimeball “outsider” who’s willing to go against the norm and is known to “punch back 10x harder” when attacked.
If that’s the case, why can’t you acknowledge that he probably, whether knowingly or not, did some dirt in an effort to win or appear legitimate? Seems pretty logical to me, given Trump’s lack of attention to detail and his ego-driven motives.
OH, speaking of ego...
Barack Obama is the most narcissistic president of all time, right?
I’m a libertarian.

One thing you liberals cant deny- Mueller clearly stated today there was not sufficient evidence to make a charge of collusion with Russia. Which was the entire purpose of this horseshit witch hunt from the start.
He addressed that in the report, "The evidence we obtained about the President's actions and intent presents difficult issues that would need to be resolved if we were making a traditional prosecutorial judgment." He made the statement you're looking for. They would "need to resolve" those issues if they had been able to legally.
When Barack and Hillary are tried for treason, found guilty of treason and then executed live on national television, then the country can have closure.
You keep beating around the bush. Lol. He never said Trump obstructed no matter how you try to fit a round peg in a square hole. And you cant hide from the fact he clearly said there was no sufficient evidence of collusion with Russia- which was the reason for this mess.
Again, from today's statement, "It would be unfair to potentially, it would be unfair to potentially accuse somebody of a crime when there can be no court resolution of the actual charge." He made the statement you're looking for in as plain terms as he was legally able.
It clearly states they did not find the president did commit a crime. Trump, or anyone else, does not have to prove their innocence. The prosecution has to prove guilt.
If that’s the case, then why was there an investigation?
He was not able to make a traditional prosecutional judgement like you're referring to because of the standing DoJ rule. Not because they found he didn't commit a crime. In fact the opposite.
To put the facts before Congress for the appropriate constitutional process. It's been stated repeatedly in both the report itself and today's statement. "the opinion says that the Constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing."
