[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mueller was the prosecutor in this instance.

A prosecutor has one role in this case: based on evidence to prosecute or not.  He chose not to prosecute.  He waffled on obstruction--but, that means he chose not to prosecute.

If Congress wishes to prosecute, that is their prerogative.  But, Comey chose not to do so.  We don't know why--but,my guess is that he would not be able to win it.  Why?  Because wanting to obstruct justice is not the same as obstructing it.  He did not fire the people he told to fire Mueller.  Had he wanted to do so, he could have.  He turned over voluminous amounts of documents.  He did not exert Executive Privilege.

Who really tried to obstruct justice?  Those who leaked fake documents to media.  Those who started an investigation based on questionable sources.

Wonder how many other political foes have been spied upon?

Time to join the real world.

First, Comey was FBI, it isn't traditionally the FBI role to do anything other than investigate. Hence the "I" in FBI. But in cosulting professionals, they felt they didn't have a winnable case, hence no prosecution of Hillary.

Second, the DOJ guidelines are clear about indicting a sitting president. Mueller cited those guidelines at the top of the report. His mandate was NEVER going to be to decide whether or not the President should be indicted. If the White House wants to waive those guidelines (they didn't) or Barr wanted a direct decision (he didn't) then perhaps the answer would be different.

Third, what fake documents were leaked?

Fourth, "spying" is different than surveillance in a counterintelligence investigation. Just this morning in testimony, FBI Director Wray (a Trump appointee) indicated the same.

You need new sources of information.[/quote]
