Special counsel and DOJ deliberated seeking subpoena for Trump

[LovingA2andMI]

(CNN)The special counsel's office deliberated at length with Justice Department officials about issuing a subpoena for President Donald Trump to be interviewed, but ultimately the decision was made not to move forward with such a significant investigative step, according to a source familiar with the matter.

For months, Robert Mueller's team had requested a sit-down interview with Trump, but the President's lawyers refused to commit and negotiations continued. Eventually, the special counsel submitted written questions to the President last fall concerning the time frame before the 2016 election, which Trump answered in late November 2018.

The source said the sensitive discussions between Justice Department officials and the special counsel team, and the determination that a subpoena would not be pursued, were based on the perception of the evidence and merits of the issues -- separate and apart from the fact that current department policy dictates that a sitting president cannot be indicted.

In other words Mueller the "Savior" COULD have DECIDED to subpoena Trump but did not. Why Not? Until this question is answered, Mueller being a "Savior" or following "The Best Investigator Ever" way to truly investigate a case is just BS.

Mueller is, was and remains a Republican. Plain and simple.

1. Bottom Line.

The rethug investigators let drumpf and his family off the hook. Unbelievable.

2. This is why the GOP is still wrapped around the axle

There is no answer they can give that won't result in them being asked, then why not release Mueller's entire report plus the underlying evidence and request Barr ask the GJ supervising judge to approve release of the GJ testimony.

3. I think your conclusions are very premature and unfounded.

Our nation owes a great deal to Mueller's and Rosenberg's defense of our legal processes. They've stood this far because of them and their teams.
