Trump got reelected today
Thank you Mueller
shareYes thank you Mueller for telling the American people yourself that you could not and did not exonerate the president of crimes irrespective of what trump and Barr might claim. Hooray. Trumptards really needed to hear this.
shareAm I the only one who got this impression that Mueller is...worried? He was so very careful with his words and obviously wanting to avoid perjuring himself. However, the key takeaways (for me at least) in regards to Mueller's demeanor were:
-A feeling of uncertainty about how to handle charges against Trump
-A FEAR of bringing charges against Trump
-An uneasiness about being a part of this investigation any longer
-Wanting to quickly slip away from all this
What happened? That's what I want to know. That man seems frightened, if you ask me.
He gave voice to the most controversial findings of the report: He could not make a decision to charge the President with obstruction because DOJ policy considers it unconstitutional to indict a sitting President.
But he also echoed the finding of the report that if they had found that the President did not commit a crime, they would have said as much.
What I find hard to square is that Mueller is kicking the obstruction of justice case to congress for consideration of impeachment but is refusing to testify to congress about it. That’s a disconnect that became even sharper during his statement.
I haven't watched the video presser yet, just read a transcript of his statement, so you could be onto something I haven't picked up on yet. But his nervousness could also just be a byproduct of the general aversion he has in front of cameras under the glare of the national press.
His statement of having nothing to add
I think any personal attitude showing is just due to the long ongoing spectacle, the GOPeetapers lying about his words, and perhaps a general discontent with how this government is evolving (he doesnt see that it is inevitable because he is part of government).
Mueller wussed out!

Littering maybe...he's left a trail of destroyed deep state careers all over DC - right Paul Ryan? share
