Related: About this forumPBS Newshour: 3 Legal Experts Interpret the Mueller Report
So the obstruction case...Mueller stated the guideline of the OLC of the DOJ is that a sitting President can't be indicted, so that's why he doesn't recommend that. But he says he doesn't reach a conclusion either way as to whether Trump obstructed justice. (the female expert talks about this)
As I recall, Barr's summary specifically said that it was not because Mueller couldn't indict that Mueller didn't reach a conclusion about obstruction. Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly, but that's what I recall.
