As per Meullers report: "If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment. The evidence we obtained about the President’s actions and intent presents difficult issues that prevent us from conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." So on the core principle: in the U.S. criminal justice system, no prosecutor including a special counsel (incl Meuller) has the authority or role to formally declare someone's guilt or innocence outside of bringing charges and securing a conviction in court. Prosecutors decide whether there's sufficient evidence to charge (prosecute) or to decline prosecution (often called a "declination"). If they decline, the subject remains presumed innocent, full stop and no public "not exonerated" asterisk attached. This is where Meuller stumbled and stepped all over his tongue. Watch J Radcliff nail it down. Meuller is a scumbag hack. John Radcliff destroys Meuller.mp4 Further context: Trump celebrated because Mueller never gave him the full exoneration he claimed, and the lingering stink of "not exonerated" is exactly why the bad blood never died. Some of you should begin by reading the actual report next time instead of recycling 2019 talking points. MAGA stays winning on facts, even when the other side brings feelings.
