Mueller: Charging president with a crime was 'not an option we could consider'
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 05/29/19 11:15 AM EDT

Special counsel Robert Mueller said Wednesday that charging President Trump with a crime "was not an option we could consider" due to Department of Justice (DOJ) regulations.

Mueller said that his office interpreted current DOJ guidance that states a sitting president cannot be indicted as meaning his team could not bring a charge against Trump as they investigated him for obstruction of justice.


The special counsel said that the Constitution requires a "process other than the criminal justice system" for taking disciplinary action against a sitting president, but did not mention impeachment directly.

Mueller also reiterated that while his final report "does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him."

"After that investigation, if we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime we would have said so," Mueller said.

So, if the report found that the President DID commit a crime, then they COULD exonerate him?  That statement of M's does confuzzle me a bit.

Muelleris a tool of the permanent administrative state; which was hell bent on harming Trump, either by finding a crime, or hanging a cloud over him.

See Justice Kavanaugh.

Guilty unless proved innocent.
etc.
The party of Omar, AOC, Clintons, is running the show, by smear, etc.

The American voters had the audacity to elect outsider Trump, and they must be shown the insurance policy."
