So the point of this press conference was basically for Mueller to emphasize that the president hasn't been exonerated

Yep...stirring the pot again....

[skeeter]

One thing I did pick up is that in his own words, he gave Congress the middle finger, as far as testifying in a hearing.

It would've been nice if he'd cleared up the flap concerning Barr's summary of the report. Barr referenced a conversation he had with Mueller directly claiming Mueller disagreed with the media claims of 'mischaracterization'.

That he didn't mention it kinda implies he's OK with the left using it as a political cudgel.

Mueller repeats what he says in his report: “If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime.”

Explosive statement..gives the Dems on Cap Hill more fodder for impeachment

By saying he would have cleared POTUS if he could -Mueller seemed to make clear POTUS DID commit a crime but Justice guidelines don’t allow him to charge and therefore not pursue

[EdJames]

My two takeaways, with the second being worse than the first:

1.  He did a good job throwing gasoline onto the impeachment fire...  essentially saying that we couldn't charge Trump with any crimes at all because of the DoJ position on indictment of a sitting President....  the way to handle this is via Congress (since it isn't by federal prosecution)...

2.  By again overemphasizing unproven claims about Russian interference, he is solidifying the JUSTIFICATION defense for Comey, McCabe, Clapper, Brennan, Lynch, Yates, and the entire crew...

Bill Barr knowingly lied to the American people for the purpose of white-washing and undermining the Mueller Report findings. Shame on him.

Nothing changes from the Mueller Report. There was insufficient evidence and therefore, in our Country, a person is innocent. The case is closed! Thank you.

Mueller refuses to testify b/c knows he'd face tough questioning by Republicans exposing his reliance on Clinton dossier & the conflicts of his prosecutors/investigators. He'd also have to explain why, knowing early in probe there was no collusion,he held probe over past midterms

Anything Mueller says while not under oath is Bull S**t.

Repubs should demand he appear before Congress, I'd prefer the Senate but the House will do.

Dear American voter if you want to spend another couple years talking about Russian “collusion” vote for the Democrats. If you have spent enough time on all this it’s time to look elsewhere. I like our chances.

Uh-huh.... I say he's taken somewhere where there's running water, a couple of buckets and some towels.

If there was any idea Mueller isn't just a toad for the unelected bureaucracy his transparent, and completely unnecessary, effort to throw gas on the fire this morning should clear everything up.

Go for it, the GOP will rip Mueller to pieces under cross examination. Comey too.

[TomSea]

All the same, though, they seem to be in the minority, some say this wasn't too significant.

Did someone say this was just "bomb throwing", that sounds like a good description.

“Under longstanding department policy, a president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office,” Mueller said, adding that such a charge is unconstitutional. “Charging the president with a crime was therefor not an option we could consider.”

Then what the hell was the point of the investigation?
