[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mueller did not recommend prosecution.  Period.[/quote]

He didn't recommend it BECAUSE of the DOJ guidelines. He did not exonerate the president. That was made very specific in the report, leaving the decision to the Congress. He also cited the obstruction - lying, taking the fifth, destruction of evidence - as specific reasons he couldn't come to a conclusion on the "Russia collusion;" but the obstruction, he lays out 10 specific cases, 5 of which are absolute slam dunks, in terms of prosecutable cases.

Why are you defending a criminal president?[/quote]

Not true. Nowhere in the Mueller report says “but for OLC guideline he would have charged”.

AG’s letter explicitly states it. [/quote]

Actually it does. Did you read it?[/quote]
Moot point. The AG after discussions with Mueller said there’s no there there. Sorry you don’t like it. 
Exonerated!![/quote]

Case closed. [/quote]
This is what we’re dealing with. Facts don’t matter to these morons.[/quote]

So we need to keep reminding them of the facts.

[quote]The Special Counsel states that “while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

Prosecutors are not in the business of exonerate people. They bring charge or shut up. It's a rookie mistake to include that politically charged line in the report. Mueller did not bring charge. AG and Rosenstein didn't bring charge. Case closed.[/quote]

The DOJ doesn't bring charges against the president.  That's for another to do. [/quote]
