The burden of proof has been changed for Republicans, who now are guilty until they prove themselves innocent.
not innocent until proved guilty.
This gives a free impeachment vote to the Democrats in the House. The Senate can fight it out.
And Trump may well lose in the Senate as he only has 30 reliable Republican votes.
If Trump were gone, and Mr. Pence were to become President, that would simplify a lot of issues for a lot of people.

“Nothing new here except a public statement saying he won’t provide any additional details to the House committee.”

He emphasized that several times. Was this his way of assuring the suicide/accident folks that he wouldn’t EVER spill the beans?

More the other way around: If we had evidence that the president committed a crime we would have said so, but we found no evidence whatsoever.

Has he ever heard “ innocent until proven guilty”? It is NOT “guilty until proven innocent”

Well, what crime do you think he might have committed?

Yes. Excellent point.

"Collusion" is not a crime, just an attractive leftist talking point. What else? Didn't say. Let Congress and MSM supply some gossip and false rumors against Trump.

Unless a uranium for cash deal is being done by the Dems. Then silence is golden.

Trump has no reliable votes in the Senate. They ALL hate him. The Senate GOP only supports POTUS minimally to hide that fact.

No doubt about it.

This is the ultimate “you’re guilty until proven innocent”.

The job of a prosecutor is not to exonerate. It is to prosecute if the evidence supports it, otherwise we side with the assumption of innocence.

This is just an excuse for the left to assume the opposite. They need a reminder.

To call Mueller a weasel, at this point, would be to insult weasels. The man is being willfully seditious, trying to undermine the electoral process, the authority of the President. and the legal understanding of guilt and innocence.

The correct statement from Herr Mueller would be "Lacking any evidence of actual wrongdoing, we found the President not guilty."

Put his lying DS ass, under oath, in front of a grand jury. I really don’t think this stunt will play well with Barr. This is just part of the coordinated new attack on Barr’s investigation. Schift for brains and Warner yesterday, this hack today, the stooges in the media always.

Trump has plenty of reliable votes in the Senate.

Republicans in the Senate has one large thing to fear...

Trump’s 90% approval among Republican voters.
