Mueller To Make Statement Today

Joint statement from Special Counsel office and DOJ

But a joint statement by Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec and Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mr. Mueller, disputed that the special counsel contradicted Mr. Barr.

“The Attorney General has previously stated that the Special Counsel repeatedly affirmed that he was not saying that, but for the OLC opinion, he would have found the President obstructed justice. The Special Counsel’s report and his statement today made clear that the office concluded it would not reach a determination – one way or the other – about whether the President committed a crime,” they said.
There is no conflict between these statements,” the statement continued.

So then...

Safeguarding everybody against tyranny etc etc.

Congress can do anything it wants. But the talking point that "Mueller only did not Indict because he could not because of DOJ policy" is clearly false. Why isn't that reported while the talking heads repeat the lie?

Mueller stated he was not prosecuting Trump because of the "Policy".

Great.

If the "Policy" prevents prosecution of a sitting President (Mueller also said it's unConstitutional), then why leave it up to the AG when the same "Policy" applies ?

Why not "Refer" the "Matter" to Congress in writing and in plain English with some hard evidence attached like they did with Clinton ?

Smells like a Red Herring was launched 😎

Well, for one, they still don't have the unredacted report, and the White House is stonewalling their subpoenas. They need the committees to do their jobs, lay out everything they have, not just the Mueller report, but everything that sprung from it, including Trump's issues with state courts, like the NYSD, and then decide if, when and how to move forward. Once they've laid out their case, and voted on it, it goes to the Senate. I'm sure that Mitch McConnell will, as always, do the right thing, protect American interests and its constitution. It'll all be on record.

I bet he NEVER starts the process

Let it go!

Why would they vote, when no coherent summary of their case has been put forward?

If thats the case what are you yammering about?
Lacking a "coherent" summary and all?
Who will put this together for the house dems?
The jackass scared guam will capsize?

Answer the subpoenas and issue an unredacted copy of the Mueller report to qualified congressional committee members.

The only thing they don't have access to is the grand jury info, which they or anyone else can petition the court for (and probably win).
They could also subpoena Mueller, who Barr has not prohibited from testifying, but they don't seem to want to ask him straight questions and get a straight answer, I guess. Very curious why that is, isn't it?

That's harsh. So even if the man didn't do anything wrong and the charges were bull#, his political opponents get to wade through every book and cranny of his personal and business life at the expense of the American taxpayer.

This plot knows no bounds

They're not even hiding it at this point. This is all about not being able to get over the election. They really need to grow up.

As opposed to the " unqualified " committee members?
Who decides that?
None of which is currently stopping fat Jerry from taking a vote.
Who is going to go to court to get a judge to sign off on getting the secret grand jury info?

I love clown world's reaction.
Pelosi-"Trump is goading us to impeach him"

Honk...Honk...

I just hope you guys are right otherwise you might find yourselves living in a Russian dominated oligarchy instead of the democratic republic we've inherited from our forefathers.

Did you bother to proof read what you just wrote?

There was zero - ZERO evidence of conspiracy or 'collusion' as you guys harped on about for years.

So, if he didn't conspire with the Russians, and there is no 'there' there at all whatsoever with regard to Russian links or connections that might be cause for concern, why would you be fearful of finding yourself 'living in a Russian dominated oligarchy' in the future?

If all Trump was guilty of - which he isn't, but even if he was - what would that have to do with 'Russians'?

The 9 or 1 (or however many) actions of potential obstruction he outlined might rise to the level of obstruction, under certain circumstances, but Barr, Rosenstein and the OLC quickly determined that they did not.

Democrats already set the precedent that obstruction isn't grounds for removing a President from office. Clinton was black and white guilty of obstructing justice but they voted no to remove him on those grounds.

Oops.

Oops is right. That report did actually outline the criminal acts Clinton had committed.

There is/was nothing preventing Mueller from doing the same thing.

The unwritten DOJ policy of not indicting a sitting president is advisory only, and there is certainly no Constitutional provision preventing it.
