“If we had confidence the president DID NOT commit a crime we would have said so. We did not however make a determination if the president did commit a crime.”

That is precisely why Trump can’t afford to delay. Release it all, release it now and let the chips fall where they may. Just get it the hell out to the public.

Mule head sure sounded nervous today delivering this screed that he was put up to

Those of us in the know know that this is no good guy in anyway shape or form and has no character and is merely a hard-core tool of the left

What we are seeing right now is there trying to run as much interference as they can before all the intelligence is the classified and all of the various Felonise they were committed by Obama clapper call me Clinton and all these scumbags are exposed for all the world to see

He didn't even need to say anything of substance for the Democrats to say that he said something of substance. Just a bunch of Machiavelli showmanship, staging, drama & treason.

No they won’t. They will continue doing just what they’ve been doing.

Exactly. Impeachment is risky, and can easily get out of their control, and make Trump a martyr as it did with Clinton. They can't risk that, so they will just make the next 17 months a running stream of accusations and outrage to try and defeat Trump, keep the House and challenge the Senate.

Presumption of innocence before the Law is “White Supremacy”

It’s up to the accused to prove their innocence, Comrade.

The guy has lost more than a step. Getting into Joe Biden area. Can’t believe no questions welcome to the USSR.

Can Barr arrest Mueller for anything? I don’t believe for a minute Barr, who’s far away in Alaska now, knew this was going down.

So we’ve now enshrined Dan Rather logic into criminal law.
There’s no proof Trump committed a crime - but we know he did therefore we should impeach him.

This is bullshit, unconstitutional, anti-American and an outright witch hunt as well as governmental power run amok.

Mueller should be immediately charged with malpractice - he knows it which is why he just resigned.

If the Democrats insist on impeachment at this point then they must be forced out at gun point.

This is out of control abuse of government offices and MUST BE CHECKED

“They won’t impeach....”

I disagree. The Rats HAVE TO impeach now, as the pressure from their base will be intolerable for them. They don’t care what the Senate will do, they just want an impeachment to influence the 2020 election.

Which is why Mueller needs to be subpoenaed and appear before Congress next week. But the GOP wont support that. So the only option available to President Trump is to just let the Mueller Dossier and all its innuendo stand.

Robert Mueller 11:05 - “All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.”

Robert Mueller 11:06 - “If We Had Confidence President Did Not Commit a Crime We Would Have Said So”

I’m hoping that with this latest from Mueller, the declassified documents will show up soon.

*************

You mean like the FISA docs that Trump said he would release about 8 months ago? Our side is giving away way too much ground to the Deep State.

This is a big, complicated investigation. Waiting to put together some comprehensive report will take forever. Barr should be releasing information in tranches according to a logical taxonomy so people can see hard evidence and facts. That will help turn public opinion. Right now our side is just shooting blanks.

I’m wondering if Barr would have prevented Mueller’s statement if he had not been in Alaska yesterday and today. The timing is interesting. Mueller should not have made such a statement at all. His announcement should have been limited to:

“I am resigning from the Department of Justice. I will not be testifying before either the house or the Senate. The redacted Special Counsel’s Report stands as written. I want to thank the men and women who worked with me in the past two years. I will take no questions. Good bye.”

Bingo! Presumed innocent but suspected of guilt.

Mueller could barely read the statement prepared for him, he constantly stumbled over it. This was the ONE time he would speak publicly, and he was incapable of giving a smooth performance.

There’s no way he could stand up to questioning without being exposed for the figurehead he was.

He would have to have Weissman at his elbow and after every question asked of him, turn to Weissman and ask, “what should I say?”

They all knew the framing of Donald Trump for conspiracy to hack the DNC and Podesta was a hoax from the very start.

Yet if they could somehow have pulled it off, they would have gotten the president removed from office for that. All they were left with was trying to convert the president’s justified outrage over the hoax into “obstruction of justice.”

These are scum deserving of no respect from any American who treasures our Constitution and the Rule of Law.

One can only conclude from that circus that AG Barr does not have a problem with Mueller undermining POTUS.

I can write 400 pages of report on Mueller without finding that he committed a crime but I guarandamntee you I can honestly report that I did not find him innocent. It won’t take me two years and millions of dollars to do it.

"I thought Mueller looked uncomfortable as he spoke. His reputation ain’t what it used to be."

I didn't watch him, but based on his past unethical behavior, his expensive report, and his comment today, I highly doubt he will be able to quietly ride off into the sunset. Instead, he'll be vilified, and remembered as a compromised, and inept individual.

(hat tip ProtectOurFreedom) Dems, who have never had any issue with illegal release of stolen classified intel,
(including keeping classified data on HRC's private server and Huma Abedin's laptop),
are suddenly concerned about Pres Trump's LAWFUL declassification of data. Go figure.
