(4,292 posts)He said it would be "unconstitutional" to file an indictment -- or even prepare a sealed one for later use -- against a sitting president.
That's a DOJ opinion.
Reminds me of papal infallibility and sovereign immunity.

(63,940 posts)let's call those offices of our Reps and Senators. Please they need to hear from us.
Start the impeachment inquiry. I can hear it now, a number of Americans want to see an Impeachment inquiry.

(4,894 posts)He avoided completely investigating (did not subpoena Trump to testify) and avoided stating the obvious on obstruction because he felt he couldnt indict and felt that if he opined on the issue POTUS wouldnt be able to defend himself as he could do in a court of law. That is too bad. No one told Trump to obstruct. To say he cant indict is a license for Trump to continue illegal behavior. Truly a mistake in my opinion.

(6,139 posts)He could still state in the report which laws trump broke. He doesnt have to charge him with anything but report the facts.

(9,493 posts)From MT news wire:
(snip)
US stocks continued to slump at session's half as a report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller weighed on the markets, adding to the already bearish sentiment.
The report indicated that Russians had in fact interfered with the 2016 presidential election and suggests it is up to Congress to determine whether the president committed a crime.
Earlier, sentiment was weighed down by global growth fears as the trade war between the US and China continued, with Beijing saying it is planning to use restrictions on its rare earths as a weapon against the US, in an apparent retaliation to Washington's move to impose sanctions on Huawei Technologies.
