Mueller: Due to the DOJ rule I cannot prosecute the president. Therefore, due to the serious

[shockey80]

Nature of the crimes laid out in the report and the serious national security implications. It is my recommendation the Congress of the United States of American investigate, prosecute the crimes laid out in my report.

Mueller stopped after the first sentence, packed his bags and went home. If he added something like the next two sentences I wrote things would be a lot different right now.

Mueller made two big mistakes. He assumed Congress would read his report and do the right thing, Impeach.

His second mistake was he trusted Barr to do the right thing.

The Mueller report will live in infamy.

1. As a FAILURE to act when Mueller had the chance....

Fuck protocol.....

I agree.....

[riversedge]

2. In IMHO--Mueller made the mistake of not make a recommendation-like you wrote.

[Goodheart]

3. Mueller's lack of a SPECIFIC recommendation makes him an historical wimp and enabler in my book.

And then his meek live testimony has me wondering how the man ever rose to such an important position.

4. Mueller always kept his head low to avoid

getting it sliced off by Trumpy's helicopter blades. By avoiding getting fired, he weakened his presence as an investigator and failed to realize his mandate. That's what writers and historians will conclude.

No wonder that Mueller refused to discuss his work any further than his appearance before the House. He knows that he disappointed millions by his soft-core conclusions, and, for that matter, the entire timeline of his investigation. He didn't push Trumpy to get testimony, and he didn't persist when Trumpy lied and obfuscated. He didn't use his powers to their fullest extent. He pulled his punches.

14. Mr. Duppers & I agree. nt

[democratisphere]

5. What is the Mueller Report?

Never heard of it!

[mopinko]

6. just this once, i agree w steve bannon.

never send a marine to do a hit man's job.

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. yup. very weak sauce...but, he is a republican.

[katmondoo]

8. He could have been a hero.

[Hoyt]

9. Mueller could call a press conference today and say just that, he won't. He wimped out by letting

trump and his campaign off the hook for cooperating, conspiring, colluding with Russia. He contorted his findings to say he found no evidence of trump or his campaign working illegally with Ruskies, even said trump Junior was too stupid to possess necessary intent to indict him for trump tower meeting.

[Garrett78]

15. We mustn't forget that he's a Republican.

Even the anti-Trump Republicans are in denial. They made Trump possible via 50 years of increasingly cruel and unhinged rhetoric and policy.

10. Mueller

Mueller turned out to be both a coward and a buffoon …… Fitzmas multiplied by 1000... Let's stop putting our faith in Republican Prosecutors...

[SWBTATTReg]

11. Disgusting. Mueller failed the Country...coward - he should have charged the president and ...

then let the courts and such work out the details if his actions were legal, after all, how many others did he charge w/ crimes (and found them guilty)?

[smirkymonkey]

13. I was saying that all along, but got a lot of shit from people here who kept

saying "he was doing the best he could" and "his hands were tied", etc...

I felt he was a coward then and have not revised my opinion since. He could have been a hero and he chose the easy way out.

[SWBTATTReg]

17. I totally agree w/ you. Especially now when you see the crap rump and cronies are doing in ...

plain sight for all to see. Mueller should have sent up signals to the country, instead he named something called a "unidicted co-conspirator" / Individual 1 or something like this. Idiotic. Should have blatantly called rump out. Perhaps now in hindsight, you've been vindicated...

[Grammy23]

12. Just imaging how historians will treat Mueller's part in all of this.

For a man with a sterling reputation (prior to this debacle), he just ensured that he will be remembered as the guy who had a chance to be a hero, to really save our nation and he blew it all. He cringed, ducked and ran when he needed to man up and speak up. Too bad for him. Too sad for the rest of us.

[TeamPooka]

16. Or, at heart he is still just a Republican, which is why

They picked him for the job in the first place.
Normally special investigator is like that are appointed from the president’s opposition party to negate any criticism of party favoritism.
that’s why Ken Starr, a Republican, was appointed to investigate Whitewater

[rusty fender]

18. I'm absolutely sure that if he had been investigating

a Democratic President, who had done exactly what Trumpass had done, Mueller would have said a big fuck you to protocol.
