While I wish there were more things done by Mueller, especially concerning Don Jr. And Jared Kushner, I can't believe that people are attacking him for not coming out and making an announcement about Trump. Do we have such short memories that we have forgotten that this exactly what James Comey did to Hillary right before the election? I believe that Meuller is following DOJ policy to the letter, and I can't fault him for that.

(26,793 posts)Mueller was in something of a bind on how to handle obstruction when it came to the president... but he has no such bind for anyone else in the administration.
Unless you're in the camp that says that Mueller is acting as part of Trump's defense and is hiding the good stuff... you have to assume that he uncovered nothing that could be prosecuted other than what has already been charged or referred to other prosecutors.

(3,077 posts)I think some people probably do. But that is not his job. He did what he could. He did what was required of him. And as much as some people wanted to write the narrative that Mueller was going to save the day, that was not his role. I admire his restraint. I had no expectations whatsoever.

(3,344 posts)Trump isn't charged because he is President, not because evidence couldn't be found of guilt. Requires a more nuanced response from Mueller.
