Ok, I get that Mueller is a tight place.

[imanamerican63]

But, he needs to clarify is findings to the public. Trump can't get away with this no matter what! Our country deserves to know the who, what and how deep this goes!

[SHRED]

1. He's unwillingly to testify publicly

Why?

[imanamerican63]

2. Ya' got me?

[TalenaGor]

4. my guess is his job was to find facts, not offer opinion

And if he testify, he will be asked for opinions....

[Claritie Pixie]

3. Did you listen to what Mueller said? Do you understand?

DOJ, by their own policy, is unable to charge or absolve a sitting president.

Mueller can't charge and Barr can't absolve.

The evidence is there. It's up to Congress to do their duty and take it from here.

[imanamerican63]

7. But the report is highly redacted by Barr!

So, Mueller needs to clarify his findings!

[Claritie Pixie]

8. No. Congress needs to do it.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

12. 1/8th of the report is redacted.

Not exactly heavily redacted.

[imanamerican63]

16. The parts that redacted are the highly critical parts!

You are splitting hairs.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

17. I read the report. Pretty easy to get what was going on.

Most of the redactions were about ongoing investigations.

[Pantagruel]

5. Mueller is bound by law and DOJ policy

Today he asked Congress to do their jobs.
Congress can still use Mueller to make their case but he's not going to be judge and jury.

9. tight place?

he can testify truthfully or he can remain loyal to an authoritarian who will feed him to his twitter followers one piece at a time.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. "loyal to an authoritarian"? You weren't listening. He's telling Congress to impeach. . . . nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Clearer? He says Pay Attention Americans and My Hands are Tied Yours are Not.

Pay attention, Americans! (His last piece of the statement)

And I will close by reiterating the central allegation of our indictments that there were multiple, systematic efforts to interference in our election. That allegation deserves the attention of every American. Thank you.

My hands are tied, yours are not!

And second, the opinion says that the constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrong doing.

Could not be clearer.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

13. Agreed. It's all there, plain as day. nt

[HopeAgain]

15. "There is probable cause to believe the President

committed an impeachable offense." How about something like that for clearer?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. As he said, he can't say that because there would be no trial of sitting Pres so no defense.

People, including sitting Presidents, are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

But, people can't read the true impact of what Mueller said because he really said all the things Democrats have been asking him to say, but only in prosecutorial language.

[HopeAgain]

20. President apparently won't need to defend himself,

and Mueller is just passing the buck. I think he had the authority to draw a conclusion, just not to file an indictment. The real problem will have been those who chose to be bystanders.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. Depends whether Ds impeach & Rs convict or if Ds investigate & PUBLIC CONVICTS (de-elects). . . . nt

[HopeAgain]

14. Typical law enforcement/military mindset

Following protocols/superiors over doing the right thing.

[gratuitous]

18. Yeah

I can't say that I'd want Mueller as my neighbor: I see your house is on fire, but I can't call the fire department without specific authorization.
