Sam Elliott special kind of stupid

i think hes probably innocent, the only thing between knowing if the collusion was criminal or not is behind the redacted stuff

Well, there's all that obstruction of justice stuff. Like ordering the White House Counsel to fire Mueller. That's obstruction.

If there was no crime , what was being obstructed ? Someone please answer that question ?

Sure. I can answer that. It doesn't matter if there is an underlying crime. If you attempt to obstruct justice, that's a crime in and of itself.

To make a comparison:

you approach someone to kill your boss.
You pay them money to murder your boss.
But it turns out that was an undercover cop.
You get arrested.
You go to trial.
You go to jail.

Was there a murder? No.
Was there a crime? Yes.

You attempted to murder someone.

Let's say you decide to rob a bank.
You and your friends head off to the bank.
Your friends tell the cops your going to rob the bank.
You go in anyway to rob the bank.
The cops were waiting.
They arrest you.

Did you rob the bank? no.
Was a there a crime? yes.

You attempted to rob the bank.

In the Mueller report, there are 10 specific instances that are laid out where Trump attempted to obstruct justice.

Those are 10 specific crimes that need to be addressed.

Why wasn't Trump indicted?

Because of the standing DoJ policy that says a sitting President cannot be indicted, they must be impeached.

Mueller turned in his report so the House and Senate can move forward with impeachment proceedings.

How about I reframe this for you?

The way that Mueller setup the investigation - specifically starting with the concept that a President cannot be indicted by the department of justice because he would be unable to confront his accusers (the basic concept afforded the accused but that a President lacks) - the investigation could only come to 2 conclusions.

Those conclusions were Not Guilty or Not Not Guilty.

They found him Not Not Guilty.

The same people who won't accept the Mueller investigation are the same ones who refuse to accept the 2016 Election results .

How about I boil it down even further: Mueller turned in a piece of paper that says "Hey, here's a list of all the shit he did. A lot of it is against the law. My boss says I can't have him arrested and taken to court. It's up to Congress to either impeach him or wait until he leaves office and then we'll arrest him and take him to trial."

Does that make it easier to understand?
