The one citation you did make was from several Legal experts that that confirm what you say, Two can play at that game I could find a lot of Legal experts that say the opposite, But I'll resist.
Here is the conclusion from Book 2 of the Mueller report.
"Because we determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgmentthat would need to be resolved if we were making a traditional prosecutorial judgment."
-- It was a very hard decision for us to make so we decided to pass it off on the AG and DAG.
"At the same time, if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state."
-- It's to difficult for us to resolve but we can't prove he didn't commit obstruction of justice.
"Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment."
-- We don't have any evidence the will hold up in a court of law.
"Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him."
-- We can't prove that the President committed a crime, But since we are not using traditional prosecutorial judgment, we'll take the position of the defense and tell you that we could not prove he did not do it.
We first see that Mueller is stepping out of his traditional role as Prosecutor as High-lighted in the first sentence. So he is refusing to make the Legal decision he was tasked to. ei... as we have been saying he did not do his job and left it to his boss the Attorney General, Mueller is not working for the Congress.
In the second sentence Mueller admits that he does not have the evidence that there was a crime committed. With no evidence of a crime being committed anything else is hogwash (Sorry, One Bad Pig). You can't be convicted of a crime that never happened.
The third sentence is eliminated by the second. It a crime did not exist you don't have to prove someone did it. It is just ludicrous to believe you have to prove no one did a crime that never happened.
The fourth sentence supports the second out right when a Prosecutor can't even that someone did not commit a crime that ends it for the investigation and he is saying he could not prove that a crime was committed. No Crime = No Guilt.
Mueller's Introduction was a nice History lessen but that is it. Although it does have a citation that's worth mentioning:
Attorney General a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions [the Special Counsel]
reached.
reached.
This supports what we have been saying about Who the report is for. It makes it clear that the report is not intended for Congress, but is intended for the Attorney General. Tass, JimL Please stop insisting that this was a report intended for Congress.
