It's amazing how Trump fanatics don't want to believe what Mueller really said. He clearly told Congress it was their job to take up the issue now.

He also CLEARLY said it was clear the Russians wanted Trump in office, and did everything they could to make sure that happened.

No we believe what Mueller said, we are just pointing out that it wasn't Mueller's job to assist Congress to build a case for impeachment. His job was to investigate Russian collusion and criminal obstruction of justice. He did so with regards to Russian collusion and stated his findings that there was sufficient evidence to find Russian meddling in US elections, but insufficient evidence to find a broader conspiracy involving Trump. However, he failed to do his job with regards to the obstruction investigation, refusing to state whether or not he found sufficient evidence for criminal obstruction. He left it up to the interpretation of others, so don't go crying "this is not what I had in mind" when the interpreting doesn't go your way.

In the end, Mueller tried to be cute with his report. The fact that he did not charge *ANYONE* in Trump's campaign with criminal obstruction even though *THEY* are not immune to prosecution demonstrates that his refusal to come to a decision is based on insufficiency of evidence. So instead of giving Trump a clear win, he decided that he wants to instead transform the report into a roadmap for Congress to seek impeachment. [/quote]

Did you miss the Cohen and Manafort trials?  The investigation did result in charges.

Good Lord, so many stupid people.[/quote]

Yes, there were charges, but not the grounds of obstruction of justice related to Trump's actions with regards to Mueller's investigation. No indictments resulted from "Volume II" related activities based on Mueller's report. I don't understand why people like you are so infatuated with the idea that other people are stupid when it is yourself that is uninformed. [/quote]
