Mueller Report Shows He Chose Not To Charge Trump Because Obstruction Was In Plain View | MSNBC

Ok Congress! Do your job and use all means necessary to oust this president! I have already written letters to my representatives and Senators!

[dnice]

So let's say this is true. The only question with any relevance to me: what is Congress going to do about it? This report does *not* exonerate him.

So sad for our country. Even with the spectre of Nixon, I never thought we would see its like again. Boy, was I wrong.

[davidv]

Ok Congress do your Constitutional duty, IMPEACH.

[diomedes]

Lesson learned : " commit your capital crimes and conspiracy to crimes publicly and you'll getaway with it, especially if/when you are a PRESIDENT OF USA ".

The difference between trump and nixon? nixon did the "right thing", and resigned.

A guy and his 3 buddies try to brutally rob another guy in bright daylight and in front of a police officer. The robber fails because just when his knife is on the victim's throat and his hand is in the victim's pocket, he slips on a banana peel. His mates run and leave him lying there. Everyone, including the policeman, sees the attempt. One woman yells: "look, that guy is being robbed!", but everyone just shrugs it off, because it was a failed attempt. The police offers a helping hand to the robber and says "quite well played sir, but better luck next time. Oh, and get better lackeys, those ones are useless!". Then he walks to the yelling woman and tells her to shut up or she'll end up in court for defamation.

That's basically what happened here.

Trump's lawlessness on full display, so is Barr's loyalty to him.

[sagisli]

The President should be held to a higher standard, not lower. Pelosi and Nadler must show courage and act

[seungyuno]

I was today years old when I learned that obstruction done in plain sight is not obstruction.

[agolftwittler]

So if I commit armed robbery in plain sight I won't be charged ?

[katiekane]

The very act of lying implies criminality. If you've done nothing wrong, you dont lie or ask others to do so. Pretty simple.

[pquodling]

Any person in Trump's place with the slightest sense of ethics, would hand in their resignation right now.

[southernvegan]

THIS IS SUCH AN EMBARRASSMENT FOR OUR COUNTRY!! AS A VETERAN, I SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. IT'S TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE!!! 🇺🇸

[Noreb]

"Id love to sit down with Mueller! " -trump - lie number

[johno]

Turn out the VOTE for 2020!! End the total insanity

[elram]

Key moment: Mueller was not allowed to interview Individual 1.

[cacarotogod]

So you're saying guilty, but to powerful to persecute?

[metu]

What we have been saying... hello! Arrest him!

[bendover]

Officer: We have video evidence of you killing this guy.
Perp: So I am being charged with murder?
Officer: No, we have the crime in plain view.

[gwen]

2020 will not be kind to the Republican Party!
