Mueller doubles down, says his report doesn't exonerate Trump
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 07/24/19 09:39 AM EDT

Former special counsel Robert Mueller on Wednesday doubled down on his assertion that his report did not exonerate President Trump, conflicting with the president’s repeated arguments that he was “totally” cleared by Mueller’s investigation.

“The finding indicates that the president was not exculpated for the acts that he allegedly committed,” Mueller told lawmakers, after being pressed on the matter by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.)

“The president has repeatedly claimed that your report found there was no obstruction, and that it completely and totally exonerated him,” Nadler said to Mueller. “But that is not what your report said, it is?”

“Correct,” Mueller replied.

Can someone show me such a report that exonerated anyone ever?

Yes, that is not a function of that type of report.

Word games. Total lack of evidence is not exoneration, but after nearly two years, 100s of interviews, reams of documents, and tens of millions of $$, it's a distinction without a difference.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

If Mueller had truly believed Trump should be indicted for obstruction he could have very easily written that in this report...with the caveat that he couldn't because of the two DOJ memos on the subject.

But he did none of that.

And it's not a prosecutors job to exonerate anyone.  Saying he can't exonerate Trump is merely a statement of fact. 

So the Dems can claim that Mueller's report didn't exonerate Trump all day long...it doesn't mean squat.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Not sure if you feel the same...but from what I've been hearing so far...Mueller isn't sure of what's in his own report.  IMHO they should be grilling Andrew Weissmann instead.  He's the real force behind this whole mess.

Did anyone ask Mueller where, in the DOJ, resides the Office of Exoneration? The democraps use the canard of no exoneration because of their belief the American people are stupid. Actually, the democrap voters are.

Actually, someone did.  Don't think he got an answer though.

@Bigun

I heard it mentioned on the radio and didn't dare believe someone had the stones to say it. It's an awesome jab at the corrupt Mueller. Kudos to whoever said it!

The one that said Clinton was guilty, but she wasn't guilty-guilty?

No, she was guilty, but she didn't mean to be guilty.    *****rollingeyes*****
