The report states that they do “not conclude that the President committed a crime”. Clearly that means he committed a crime but they decided not to charge.
There have been multiple discussions already. They have all focused on a very small piece of Mueller’s report. There has been wild speculation regarding contacts and testimony.
So now let’s break it down. Mueller found no evidence that anyone on the Trump team was working with the Russians. Yes, you can point to all kinds of contacts, but those are irrelevant because Mueller made it clear that he found no evidence of collusion.
In regards to obstruction, he chose to punt. Thus no criminal indictments for obstruction. In a separate meeting, when asked if he deferred because of DOJ’s policy about indicting a sitting President, Mueller said that wasn’t why he didn’t find for obstruction.
So bottom line no criminal proceedings will ever come from the collusion delusion. If you disagree, please feel free to point to the specific language where anyone in Trump’s orbit was charged with any crime related to collusion or obstruction. Pointing to all of the contacts and testimony, is meaningless as that is simply fodder for DEMs in the House to continue to go after the President. Outside of impeachment, there is nothing they can do.
As I understand it, Mueller never had the power to indict. That power rests with the AG. Mueller could have made a request to indict but it would be Barr’s final decision. And so we don’t know if any such request was made.
