Mueller's TV statement
-
What Trump did to obstruct justice has nothing to do with the "deep state". He will be charged with obstruction irrespective of any "shadow govt". Or are you suggesting he's going to make himself ceasar? Is that what you think should happen?

Andy McCarthy explains why Mueller was wrong in his explosive statement this morning
-
he broke the law, period end of discussion. The only reason he's not being charged is this loophole in our system that a sitting potus can't be charged with obstruction. I don't know about all this family business but if they committed crimes too....well......

The dems are opening a can of worms that they are going to regret. The country has already witnessed the two tier justice system where Hillary Clinton who did actually commit crimes was exonerated by corrupt FBI officials. If Trump was guilty of obstructing justice there was nothing preventing Mueller from stating that in his report. Ken Star in his report against Bill Clinton stated Clinton was guilty of 11 charges.

Because Bill didn't obstruct the investigation. It's an apples to oranges comparison. Bill was guilty of dipping his cigars in an interns vagina and then lying about it. Mueller did not find definitive collusion between Trump and Russia but during the investigation the guy obstructed it. And Mueller put those instances in his report did he not? He couldnt' charge Trump with obstruction and he knew it. So he left it to the house and senate. Dude's hands were tied. Neither side is happy with him but I think he did it the right way.

When Clinton told Lewinsky to lie under oath wasn't that obstructing justice?
The obstructing charge is ticky tack. Trump fired Comey who deserved to be fired. Trump asked for Comey's loyalty...big deal. Trump asked Comey to give General Flynn a break because he was a good guy...big deal he didn't order Comey to do anything. Trump misrepresented why Comey was fired..big deal he could fire Comey for anything he wanted to and even Comey has admitted that. Trump asked Sessions to un-recuse himself..big deal Sessions should have never recused himself in the first place. Rosenstein had way more conflicts than Sessions and he never recused himself..and all of this is in regards to Trump being innocent of the underlying charge in the first place and he was trying to defend himself.

Just put yourself in his shoes for "just a moment". I know that's hard for a lot of you guys. Imagine the stress that guy is under....50% of the country hates your guts because you're investigating their king. The other half hates your guts cause you did your job but didn't come to the conclusions THEY wanted you to. Nothing you've ever done in your life compares to what he went through the last 2 years..he's in his mid 70's btw. And i'll bet he looks back at these two years and says active combat wasn't this much horseshit.

Mueller could have made it a bit easier on himself by having a more balanced group of prosecutors on his staff instead of packing it with partisan democrats:
The Mueller Probe: A Year-Old Hyperpartisan Circus
Team Mueller should be scrupulously nonpartisan (e.g. no donors to either party or 2016 nominee) or at least look like America (split dialectically between Democrats and Republicans). Instead, as the Daily Caller confirms, Mueller’s 17 prosecutors resemble a local Democratic club.
- 14 are Democrats
- Three are party-unaffiliated
- None is a Republican
- Twelve are Democratic donors
- One also is a Republican donor
- Two maxed out as Hillary Clinton donors
- Put another way, 82 percent of Mueller’s lawyers are Democrats, and 71 percent of them have contributed money to Democratic candidates and causes.

“Until today I have defended Mueller against accusations that he is a partisan; I have now changed my mind!” – Alan Dershowitz BLASTS Mueller’s statement
THE HILL – Comey was universally criticized for going beyond his responsibility to state whether there was sufficient evidence to indict Clinton. Mueller, however, did even more. He went beyond the conclusion of his report and gave a political gift to Democrats in Congress who are seeking to institute impeachment proceedings against President Trump. By implying that President Trump may have committed obstruction of justice, Mueller effectively invited Democrats to institute impeachment proceedings. Obstruction of justice is a “high crime and misdemeanor” which, under the Constitution, authorizes impeachment and removal of the president.
Until today, I have defended Mueller against accusations that he is a partisan. I did not believe that he personally favored either the Democrats or the Republicans, or had a point of view on whether President Trump should be impeached. I have now changed my mind. By putting his thumb, indeed his elbow, on the scale of justice in favor of impeachment based on obstruction of justice, Mueller has revealed his partisan bias. He also has distorted the role of a prosecutor in our justice system.
Virtually everybody agrees that, in the normal case, a prosecutor should never go beyond publicly disclosing that there is insufficient evidence to indict. No responsible prosecutor should ever suggest that the subject of his investigation might be guilty even though there was insufficient evidence or other reasons not to indict. Supporters of Mueller will argue that this is not an ordinary case, that he is not an ordinary prosecutor, and that President Trump is not an ordinary subject of an investigation. They are wrong. The rules should not be different here.
No prosecutor should ever say or do anything for the purpose of helping one party or the other. I cannot imagine a plausible reason why Mueller went beyond his report and gratuitously suggested that President Trump might be guilty, except to help the Democrats and to encourage impeachment talk and action. Shame on Mueller for abusing his position of trust and for allowing himself to be used for partisan advantage.

What are you not able to digest here OBF? The guy didn't give the dems what they wanted so now they're turning on him. He made it "crystal" clear that this was the last time he would speak on this. I don't give a fuck anymore about you republicans and democrats...I think you're all swine. That guy is a grown ass man and I wish there was a way to nominate him as president. Cause the guy I saw in that video is precisely the kind of serious customer I think is long over due in this country.

What part are you not getting about Mueller packing his investigation with partisan democrats or now he is doing something no prosecutor ever does such as saying Trump might be guilty even though he did not have enough evidence to indict.
"Virtually everybody agrees that, in the normal case, a prosecutor should never go beyond publicly disclosing that there is insufficient evidence to indict. No responsible prosecutor should ever suggest that the subject of his investigation might be guilty even though there was insufficient evidence or other reasons not to indict.

“If we had confidence that the president did not commit a crime we would have said so,” he said. Mueller cited a Department of Justice policy prohibiting a special prosecutor from charging sitting presidents: “Charging the president with a crime,” he said, “was therefore not an option we could consider.”
this is exactly what was said when the report first came out.

he clarified his position today to both sides. And it's the last time it happens.

That video by Andy McCarthy is from someone smarter than either you or me. You should take the time to watch it. Same with the article by Alan Dershowitz who defended Mueller as being non partisan up until today.
