 >At the same time , 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.  Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.

+Mueller Report Shows Depth of Connections Between Trump Campaign and Russians
+https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/01/26/us/politics/trump-contacts-russians-wikileaks.html
+“Donald J. Trump and 18 of his associates had at least 140 contacts with Russian nationals and WikiLeaks, or their intermediaries, during the 2016 campaign and presidential transition, according to a New York Times analysis.
+“The report of Robert S. Mueller III, released to the public on Thursday, revealed at least 30 more contacts beyond those previously known. However, the special counsel said, ‘the evidence was not sufficient to support criminal charges.’
+“Very few, if any, of these interactions were publicly known before Mr. Trump took office.”
+At least 36 contacts by Sr, Jr and Jared alone.
+"If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the president did not obstruct justice, we would so state. We are unable to reach that judgment. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment."
+-- Mueller report
+. Mueller found evidence Chump obstructed justice (p. 157 & 182).\\
+. Mueller listed that evidence in 10 areas (p. 15 -156)\\
+. Mueller said he would not indict Chump because of DOJ policy that prohibits criminal indictment and prosecution of a president (p. 1 & 15).\\
+. Mueller said he would not accuse Chump of committing federal crimes because that would place a burden on his capacity to govern and preempt constitutional processes for addressing presidential misconduct (p. 1).\\
+. Mueller said Congress may apply obstruction laws to the president's corrupt exercise of the powers of his office in accordance with the constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law (p. 8).\\

+Before longtime POSPOTUS confidant Roger Stone's arrest:
+"The Special Counsel has now secured guilty pleas from President Trump’s personal attorney, his campaign manager, his deputy campaign manager, a foreign policy advisor to his campaign, and his National Security Advisor. He has filed 191 charges against more than thirty individuals—almost all of whom are in President Trump’s orbit, Vladimir Putin’s orbit, or both. The President can pretend that this investigation has nothing to do with him and nothing to do with Russia, but these indictments speak for themselves."

+Indictments of top aides:
+Nixon: 12 in 6 years
+Bill Clinton: 3 in 8 years
+Obama: 1 in 8 years (Petraeus’ misdemeanor)
+President* Trump: 6 in 2 years
+President* Trump's pace is worse than the worst POTUS, Nixon, and worse than any Dem.
+Finally, Barr, Rosenstein, Mueller, Senate Repugs, all of our intel agencies and even Pence ALL agree: POSPOTUS fanboys were and still are useful idiots for Russia. However, they will never admit it. If they had the smarts and spines for that, they never would have become Trumpettes.

 Democrats said at the time that the memo’s description of McCabe’s closed-door testimony was incorrect. In an interview with CNN, McCabe said his testimony had been “selectively quoted” and “mischaracterized” in the GOP memo.
