Any person with a decent mental faculty should be able to properly translate that to "Congress, the ball's in your court, now read the report and charge the man to protect the country & democracy" right? Right?

What a sham

What kind of person would say it like this

Muller: “If we had confidence that the president did not commit a crime, we would have said so"

What he really said ..we do not have any evidence to charge Trump.

This was just a ploy to push the ball back in Nancy Policy lap to try to get her to push forward impeachment proceedings.

Translation: We have confidence that the president did commit a crime. The ball is in your court. The court of law.

Look where his confidence is.

What he really said is what he really meant.

If Muller was a cop on the scene of a house with billowing smoke, he could have told the reporters, "If we had confidence that the house was not on fire, we would have said so."

It's not the job of the cop to put the fire out. That job belongs to the firefighters.


BTW, nice play on words. "Nancy Policy." I say, run with it!

Trump's presidency? It certainly is a sham.

No surprise you can't understand plain English. Being in a cult of personality has destroyed your less than stellar brain.
You describe Trump lying under oath as him being smart to not implicate himself but don't realize that means you admit the truth is he's a criminal.

Mueller said exactly what he means, DOJ rules did not allow him to even consider criminal charges, but congress can...here's 400 pages of evidence about multiple high crimes that does not in any way exonerate the president. Congress has a duty to examine and act on that evidence. You hear that as "total exoneration, case closed".

What about the other three scandals that were exposed today? How will you excuse today's undeniable criminality, unpatriotic incivility, and his admission that his presidency is illegitimate?

One, perjury by dozens of official Trumpees about the racist census changes that prove they were designed to give "Republicans and non Hispanic whites an electoral advantage" and hurt the Democrats, and would have that effect according to studies they also hid and lied under oath about. Proof of the racist conspiracy going back to 2015 was uncovered, contradicting their testimony that the order came directly from the DOJ based on questions first raised in 2017. Gonna just wait until 10am to hear the party line in court, then whatever new lie they tell will be your answer I expect.

Two, the constantly shifting denial of the official Whitehouse orders to hide the John McCain and barring of sailors from the ship from events because the Biggest Loser throws a childish temper tantrum when he hears or reads the name. Gonna blame that on a subordinate and deny responsibility for those under him acting incredibly, offensively unpatriotic and disrespecting the military on his behalf in his name purely to stroke his ego...."with good intentions" (keeping Trump's ego unbruised), and just ignore the reason they had to do it too I expect.

Three, the accidental admission that Russia actually got him elected. That you'll call an intentional misunderstanding of a poorly worded tweet by the fake news lefty media not a Freudian slip or confession I expect.

Thanks for the opportunity to shine more light on more daily proof he's illegitimate, unfit for office, and surrounded by unscrupulous and lawless sycophants.

If any normal citizen had done what Trump did they would be indicted, you are FLAT out wrong on this as usual. You RWNJ's need to grow a spine...

I don't think you followed what he was saying... he said he's not legally allowed to say Trump committed a crime. All he can do is present the evidence (that he committed a crime) to congress, and hope they are clever enough to act on it.

Muller could have come out ans said in plain wording that Trump was involved in illegal activity A, B and C.

However we do not have the prosecutorial authority to bring charges forward. It will have to be settled in the House and Senate.


But Muller didn't because he did not have enough to charge Trump with anything of real matter.

The report is also in plain English, it's worth a read. It shows the Russians did things we should prevent any foreign government from doing. It also shows there is no collusion or obstruction. It would be nice if everyone could read the unredacted version but 6 dems have read it (or had access to it) and aren't claiming anything new.

If you think the Russians are the only foreign govt guilty of meddling in US elections you're a fool.

And what did he really do? Nothing worth bring charges or stating such should be brought forth.

Clinton had 11 indictments brought against him by Star. Muller brought ZERO.

BS

Muller has nothing of true substance. He stood up there and re stirred the pot to push Nancy Pelosi along towards impeachment. Muller is nothing than a warped frustrated old man. Spent 30$million and came up empty. Just another another Trump hater.

A true fund raising ad. This just to ding the POTUS so they can say during the 2020 complain that trump was impeached.

Nancy is smart and know there is no no crime or political will to move forward.

Deep state is doing what it does best. And Trump is winning.

400 pages of substance you ignore.

Made $15 million, a 50% profit, way better than Trump's business acumen ever...he would have just lost $30 million.
Edit: and today thanks to Mueller, you, I, and every American has an apartment in Trump tower, forfeited by Manafort along with tens of millions for those crimes that you insist never happened. You must have just jizzed in your pants at the news and be ready to kneel for Mueller in appreciation.

Nancy is too politically minded to ignore politics and do her duty. There's plenty of political will, evidence, and obligation to impeach.

Derp state. This nonsense is just retarded. Did Obama need to purge Republicans from office to govern? No, and they were hyper obstructionist from day one, denying him legislation they wrote and appointments from their pool of candidates. Using the words "deep state" is proof of your complete irrationality.

Your ignorance is just pathetic....

No, he, in plain English, explained why he could not do exactly that. You ignore the explanation and claim the opposite, like your illegitimate messiah.

Trump cucked you and is screwing your wife....I mean country.

Muller didn’t exonerate me either and I’m sure if he could conclusively say that I haven’t committed a crime, he would have. Perhaps I need to call and turn myself in.

Mueller didn't investigate you.
He said very clearly, both in the report, and in his press conference, that he could not recommend charges or make any decision on whether the President had committed a crime because of the protection the President has from prosecution without an impeachment.
Or in his words, “the Constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing.”
Period. He cannot make that decision. So when he says, “as set forth in the report, after that investigation, if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.”
He's saying, he cannot accuse the President of a crime, but he can't say the President is innocent, because it wouldn't be true.

If you bothered to actually go to the source, you'd see it's very clear what he's saying. He's just ethically and legally obliged to say it in an indirect way because he (unlike some people) actually respects the rules, laws, and constitution of the United States.
