If, in America, you are a federal investigator, and you don't even feel free to say the president committed a crime, what has our country come to? If we spend all these millions of dollars on an investigation, and it goes on for two years . . .
And a department policy prohibits you from telling the truth about what you found out? Yes, what has America come to that it has come to this?
Mueller told us he had to choose his words carefully, but he said:"The Special Counsel's Office is part of the Department of Justice and, by regulation, it was bound by that Department policy. Charging the President with a crime was therefore not an option we could consider."
That is succinct enough: He was bound by policy that did not allow him to charge the president with a crime.
He goes on to suggest that he doesn't even feel free to accuse Trump of a crime, much less charge him. He says, "It would be unfair to potentially accuse somebody of a crime when there can be no court resolution of an actual charge."
