'There were multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election, and that allegation deserves the attention of every American,” Special Counsel Mueller stressed as he concluded his statement.

"I would not provide information beyond what is already public in any appearance before Congress," Mueller said.The former FBI director said he did not plan any further comment on the investigation or the report.

Under longstanding Department of Justice policy, Mueller said,"a president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office." Mueller explained that while existing legal guidance"explicitly permits" investigating a sitting president, the guidance also says that accusing a president of committing a crime is governed by different rules.

"And from them, we concluded that we would, would not reach a determination one way or the other about whether the president committed a crime," Mueller said."That is the office's final position and we will not comment on any other conclusions or hypotheticals about the president."

as he laughed off with taxpayer money, what's he got, Swiss or Cayman Island account?

Could he repeat this in language a kindergartner could understand so that the president understands?

Establishment Republicans are the domestic enemy of the constitution. Establishment Democrats are weak and feckless, unwilling to uphold their Oath of Office. Our democracy will not survive.

It appears that the attention that the POTUS and Attorney General are giving... is not to Russian Interference, but to investigate the investigators. Putin must be friggen thrilled.

Mueller is retiring and left crap on the fire to keep crap going, while he is laughing at them at home

So President Obama doesn’t face any disciplinary action for knowing of Russian meddling in our elections and not telling us till after the election?

Including NBC illegally releasing AH tape. Just saying.

Yeah but our president didn't have anything to do with it. The Russians just like many other countries try to influence our and other countries elections. This isn't a new thing that just started in 2016. The only reason it came to light when it did is cause the dems....

russia conducted a MILITARY OPERATION against US. Just because it helped Dear Leader get elected does NOT make it okay, folks. I miss the days when republicans would have been enraged by such an attack.

Well if it was such a big deal why did Clapper, Brennan and Comey protect us from it? Just another Obama administration failure.

Yes, by Russia. He was not referring to Trump colluding with Russia when he that. You're Welcome eediots.

'If we had confidence that the president did not commit a crime, we would have said so.” — Robert Mueller
