It was Mueller's job to decide. And he didn't.

From an email that TPM received from a reader:

“We’ve credited him (Mueller) with far more moral rectitude than he has actively shown. ..........
It is inexplicable that he deferred the question to “the politicals” especially in light of Barr’s well-known opposition to any obstruction charge. Imagine a judge in a criminal or civil matter saying “fuck if I know” “.
Josh Marshall has a different take on this but I agree with the email writer.

1. This presumes that Barr is telling the truth about what Mueller's report says.

We know that Barr claims Mueller didn't make any adjudication. We have no reason to believe that.

4. Exactly. At this point I don't trust Barr any more than I trust Trump.

2. I totally agree with the email writer.

3. This is bullshit. We can't know until we see the report.

What if Mueller said deferral to Congress is required because of DOJ rules preventing indictment?

Where is the report?

5. Where's the report? Well where is Robert Mueller?

6. Nobody knows what Mueller's intention was

We can only make assumptions.
