Understand this situation. A LIFE LONG law enforcement agent / lawyer has essentially stated that after a year and a half of intense investigation with the FULL authority of the Government and cooperation, occasionally forced from numerous witness, that it CAN NOT DETERMINE IF A CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED. James Madison comes to mind:

The internal effects of a mutable policy are still more calamitous. It poisons the blessings of liberty itself. It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood: if they be repealed or revised before they are promulg[at]ed, or undergo such incessant changes, that no man who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow.

What if the Rosenstein led DOJ refused to release the docs at Trump’s request? The full story of “resistance” to POTUS has not been written. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

Dems would attempt 'peachment if they found a carrot on the street in front of the white house.

This is nothing, it is not even a summary of nothing, it is nothing.

What there is out there is enough to hang the lot of them for attempting to overthrow a sitting duly elected president because they did not like his politics and his voters.

Their chosen system of running presidential politics broke down, did not work, failed miserably, was kaput, lousy candidate (sucked big time and hated by majority of voters, even dems!)

Thier shiite stinks, they know it, everybody knows it across the globe.

The after party cleanup will be a chore.

I doubt that any trial lawyer would say this ...... But anyone who has ever had a case that went to court and was tried to the end...not settled on the courthouse steps, has had to sit through both the plaintiff’s and defendants lawyers summations to the jury, knows that during the summation to the jury an attorney is not obliged to stick to the facts. He can argue the evidence or he can argue his opinion or anything else he deems helpful to his case. And that is essentially what Mueller has done. This is the very same tactic prosecutors use in court in their summation before the jury votes in an effort to put doubt as to innocence in the jurors’ mind. This tactic has absolutely no place in a report on fact finding. He might as well have said that the investigation did not find that Trump was innocent of murdering the Ramsey child. “If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell” ― Carl Sandburg And do not forget that Mueller is really no better than Comey and Brennen. He just worked in a different way. He has good reason to see the end of any investigation of the FBI, DOJ, obummer white house, etc.

… and...….as we all know; - A person is innocent until proven guilty.

Trump is innocent.

They have not found any proof of any crime that would convict President Trump of any wrong doing in a court of law.

Game over for the Special Counsel Coup attempt to overthrow the newly elected President of the United States.
It was a failed attempt.

If I had any doubt that muller is a lying SOB I would have said so, but I can’t say with certainty that he isn’t a miserable, sniveling, piece of crap sworn to the service of the democrat party.

In other words, Orange Man Bad but we just can’t prove it.

We did give it our best shot though. It only took two years and $30 Million Taxpayer funded dollars.

I didn’t think the scope of the investigation was to determine that the president did not commit a crime but rather that he did. Impeach if you must, but you will gain no respect for doing it, and may have issues walking around in public in your home districts.

Trying to shift attention away from investigating the investigators


And in the attempt, confessed to being a total failure.

Trump has made a fool of Mueller and Mueller is proving it.

This is what happens when you don’t drain the swamp or lock anyone up.

This was strategy right out of the gate.

This was the entire reason for the never ending and infinite expansion into every cell of every Trump relationship, as well as engaging the highly corrupt and anti-Ameeican Southern District of NY.

And it’s all coming from the same people who regularly violate at least half of the first 10 Amendments, who hand delivered uranium to Moscow, shut down proven criminal investigations, silence real witnesses, and obtain criminal records activity for the purpose of destroying the evidence, or granting imunity to all the guilty.

And do not forget that Mueller is really no better than Comey and Brennen. He just worked in a different way.

That's exactly my take away on this. The unconstitutional 4th branch of government (the DC bureaucracy otherwise known as the Deep State) is simply flexing its muscles in an attempt to get the elected government to back off.

"Mueller could barely read the statement prepared for him, he constantly stumbled over it."

And in regards to your other comments, I totally agree. I've been saying that he probably doesn't even know what's in the report, because he didn't write it, and left the majority of the legwork, and writing to his minions. He'd actually have to read it, to know what's in it. No wonder he doesn't want to appear in front of Congress, and only agrees to if it's behind closed doors. He doesn't want people seeing how inept he is.

Mueller was sick that day and missed that lesson in Logic 101.
