BOTH STORIES CANT BE TRUE.
Mueller either lied to America or to Barr.
"It would be unfair to potentially accuse somebody of a crime when there can be no court resolution of the actual charge," Mueller said, after all but stating that Trump committed a crime for which Mueller never charged him. Just as Mueller's own words today prove that he didn't want his team's report to speak for itself, the report itself proves that Mueller and his team don't believe it's unfair to accuse somebody of something a court cannot resolve.TMWISH said:

You can get the entire report on Amazon for 9 bucks. Read it. It's all there. Don't be afraid.Doc Holliday said:Mueller said that the indictments "contain allegations and we are not commenting on the guilt or innocence of any specific defendant."TMWISH said:

"Every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty."
Had he stopped there, he would have been correct. But then he crafted a brand new standard.
"The order appointing the special counsel authorized us to investigate actions that could obstruct the investigation. We conducted that investigation and kept the office of the acting attorney general apprised of our work," Mueller said. "After that investigation, if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so."
According to Mueller and his team, charged Russians are presumed innocent. An American president, however, is presumed guilty unless and until Mueller's team determines he is innocent.

These are the same disgusting immoral people who will argue that Comey deciding not to charge Hillary despite evidence of a crime, is perfectly OK. Then they turn around and don't have evidence of a crime and think POTUS should be charged.Oldbear83 said:

They also think white men are under attack despite the fact that POTUS and VicePOTUS are old white men and so are most senators, the vast majority of governors of various states, most CEOs, most investment bankers, a majority of federal judges and most state judges.

Incorrect charge from Jinx. I call out liars, but only liars for lying. I have disagreements with people I do not call out, because they are making honest statements even if I disagree. I also address the point until and unless someone demonstrates they are only there to be a turd in the punch bowl, like quash.Jinx 2 said:Oh, and P.S.

This was a remarkable abuse of power. I'm honestly surprised how far out on a limb Mueller just went. His political motives have been apparent since he delivered the report, but I never thought they were so intense.Doc Holliday said:

Not sure I buy that.
I am sure Trump and AntiTrumps have mixed feelings about this. Mueller gives me the impression of a guy just doing his job, and trying his best to stay clear of the politics. He will answer a subpoena from Congress, but will decline to answer questions beyond the purview of the report. Democrats have a decision to make...
I found him to be very clear. It's not his job to charge the president. There is a constitutional process for charging a president with a crime.

I've read enough of it to get the point. I don't see where you're finding the dissonance. Mueller had a dubious case at best.

He said today what he said in his report. The mental gymnastics to make it something else is giving me the giggles.

Barr says Muller said that. Muller sent Barr a memo that says he misrepresented his findings.
You are correct. This is clearly a contradiction.
