162. The fact

he refuses to prosecute, but could go outside the scope and indict whenever it suits him except when its trump or trumps kids , none of whom Mueller interviewed.

The fact the report is full of “buts”

The fact that trump hand picked Rosenstein who now stands up for trump.

The fact that Rosenstein hand picked Mueller

The fact that Mueller helped another highly decorated veteran get off scott free from his role in the Iran Contra scandal.

The fact that the tentative agreement was made for him to testify now broken. And of course the blame put will be put on Barr.

Instead of arresting ppl for obstruction, stands behind a policy, not a law, to not prosecute, yet the same GOP he’s worked with for decades said it was fine under Clinton,

The fact he’s a Republican and there isn’t one honest patriot among them in the current environment.
