“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.”

BS. He is supposed to refer if he sees a crime. There is no in between. That is NOT the standard by which he operates.

"We are sure there is a crime there. We just could not find it so we had to not say it..." Complete and total BS.

This is a somewhat special case. He certainly could have referred with a recommendation, even knowing that there could be no actual indictment. That, however is not where the line was drawn.

Mueller decided he didn’t have a case to even attempt or recommend an indictment.
