Mueller edges closer to saying Trump committed obstruction

In his congressional testimony Wednesday, former special counsel Robert Mueller again walked up to the line of saying President Trump committed obstruction of justice — but didn’t quite cross it.

Mueller reiterated the assertion in his report that he was constrained from bringing charges against Trump because of a 2000 memo from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, which states that “the indictment or criminal prosecution of a sitting president would unconstitutionally undermine the capacity of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions.”

Mueller’s report, which was released in April, detailed 10 incidents of possible obstruction of justice by Trump.
Under questioning from Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., Mueller agreed that Trump’s conduct appeared to meet the three requirements for a charge of obstruction: an ongoing federal judicial proceeding, knowledge of that proceeding, and a corrupt attempt to interfere with the proceeding. But he stopped short of saying that the president actually committed a felony.

“The reason, again, that you did not indict Donald Trump is because of OLC opinion that you cannot indict a sitting president, correct?” Lieu asked Mueller.

 “That is correct,” Mueller replied.

Mueller was also asked by Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., whether "lies by Trump campaign officials and administration officials impeded" his investigation.

Earlier in his testimony, Mueller said that while the longstanding policy prevents the Justice Department with charging the president with a crime, Trump could be indicted after he leaves the White House.

“Could you charge the president with a crime after he left office?” Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., asked Mueller.

“Yes,” Mueller replied.

“You believe that he committed — you believe that you could charge the president of the United States with obstruction of justice after he left office?” Buck asked.
Mueller answered “yes,” but the exchange did not clarify whether he was just acknowledging that the impediment to indicting Trump would be removed after he left office, or claiming that the evidence was sufficient to sustain a charge.
So, the report does not state, nor imply, Trump did anything specifically that was or could be felonious...it pointed to actions which "could be" "considered reasonable" for further investigations, but allegations of impropriety where not found within the scope of the investigations fact findings. The Dems are using "double speak" to invalidate the past 2 years of investigative analysis. The Dems have concluded Trump is guilty and are going to extreme efforts to "make it so".
Innocent until Proven Guilty - a hallmark of American Law, a foundation upon the establishment of the Constitution, is being demolished by the Dems.

Let's hear from  Witchy :
Some one needs to remind Nunes that it was Republicans who started the Steele Dossier and that John McCain gave it to the FBI first
Update: 
 A Conflake was just trying to bully Mueller and tell him he did not have the power to exonerate Cheeto.....but but but Cheeto is the one who said Mueller exonerated him!!!!

The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website funded in large part by New York hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer, initially retained the firm Fusion GPS that conducted opposition research on Donald Trump and a number of other Republican candidates.
I thought the GOP were the party of family values and law and order. The Russian Crime boss is none of those. Trump is an adulterer and he has broken just about every law there is to break. He cons people out of their money like Trump University, refuses to pay contractors that do work for him, uses his position in the WH to profit his companies, invites Russians into the WH, colluded with Russians and betrayed the country for his own personal gain. I don’t believe anything the con man says?
How can there be law in order when the guy in the WH is a criminal? From day one, trump attacked our FBI and Intel officials. The FBI was known as honorable until trump came along? Trump is supposed to represent the law for all the people of this country. Instead, he chooses to enforce the law on others like DACA and Muslims while claiming foul when he himself is under criminal investigation. Now trump has kidnapped children and babies from parents. Even worse, girls are missing and can’t be found. Why isn’t this a crime? 
 Where is congress? What does it mean when the guy that’s supposed to protect us and enforce laws is the law breaker?
Can we please learn a lesson from this? Never allow a person to run for office that refuses to show his tax return, declared bankruptcies, can’t get a security clearance, American banks will not give him a lone, known to be an ill moral person or has shown himself to lack wisdom!
Meanwhile, the REPUBLICANS were UNABLE TO REFUTE A SINGLE FACT ON COLLUSION and obvious OBSTRUCTION.  We have a FELON in the White House.  He can join his buddies in the JAIL CELL.
Not one Republican could REFUTE a SINGLE FACT about Trump AND HIS OBSTRUCTION.
When you watch the Hearing  and see all this People in that Room  and Outside , they all want to take a Paycheck home. Guess what . We the   People pay all their  Paychecks  for all that  Nonsense ,beyond obvious what happened....cheeto is an illegitimate president, corruptly installed by a hostile foreign power and a corrupt electoral college.....time for the House to hold preliminary impeachment hearings and eventual impeachment of this criminal president.
