By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow April 23 at 12:35 PM For many, the Mueller report is a frustrating document. Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III cleared President Trump of conspiring with Russia, but he decided it wasn’t his place to accuse a sitting president of obstruction of justice. So even if Mueller, in his heart of hearts, believes Trump broke the law, he is leaving it for Congress and voters to decide.
The Mueller report details 10 areas in which Trump could be viewed as obstructing justice and then analyzes each of them for these three criteria. It does not directly say whether each criterion has been satisfied, but it’s possible to deduce from Mueller’s words whether he believes the evidence supports that conclusion.
Nexus: “The President’s conduct towards Manafort was directly connected to the official proceedings involving him.” Nexus: “The President’s efforts to have McGahn write a letter ‘for our records’ approximately ten days after the stories had come out — well past the typical time to issue a correction for a news story — indicates the President was not focused solely on a press strategy but instead likely contemplated the ongoing investigation and any proceedings arising from it.”
Nexus: “By the time of the President’s initial one-on-one meeting with [former campaign manager Corey] Lewandowski on June 19, 2017, the existence of a grand jury investigation supervised by the Special Counsel was public knowledge.” Nexus: “Substantial evidence indicates that by June 17, 2017, the President knew his conduct was under investigation by a federal prosecutor who could present any evidence of federal crimes to a grand jury.”

Ban fake news wp
While Dems daydream & whine about d biased & poorly-researched Mueller Report, Trump is busy making inroads & winning hearts
LoL!
It wasn't his place to charge Trump because a President cannot be charged with a crime when exercising his legal authority which is what he was doing in every instance described by Mueller.
Can someone confirm this:
Mueller failed to declare if he has found what he was looking for. He was not supposed to go 'fishing' for something, it doesn't work like that - it never worked like that
I hear what your saying but it should definitely be a crime for the President that represents the people to LIE to the People on a daily bases.
Arrest TRUMP on his way out of the PEOPLES HOUSE. ..
Should, but can’t. Thanks for playing.
