Analysis: A previously invisible Robert Mueller has finally emerged to say nothing new - and it stunned Washington | KnottMatthew

Then Mueller suddenly appeared at a podium in Washington to announce that the special counsel's office was being disbanded.He also outlined the key findings of his 448-page report - including his conclusion on whether Trump committed obstruction of justice.

Although we live in a digital age, this was a vivid reminder of the power of television. Most Americans still get their information from the nightly news or cable TV; only hardcore politics obsessives have even attempted to read the full Mueller report. Attorney-General William Barr had previously said that Mueller made his decision independent of the guidelines.

Mueller's appearance hasn't yet convinced the people who really matter - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler - to pursue impeachment. They responded by saying only that impeachment must be "on the table".

KnottMatthew Pure BS I knew Fairfax was on the skids, but, come on!

KnottMatthew Trump is a corrupt fuck. He isnt draining any swamp, he is lining his pockets and filling the swamp with hos crony yes men. US is treading a very dangerous path. This can only end badly...

KnottMatthew Hey Matthew Knott, see you next year buddy 😊👋🏼

KnottMatthew Mueller looked very frightened and had his head down the whole time. Didn’t even answer any questions and ran away straight after reading his palm cards scared littledog

KnottMatthew This is the reason why I never subscribe to SMH. So biased. This news outlet gave BS and Co all the false hope. Won the debates and landslide victory. LOL.

KnottMatthew This hearing was never about obstruction and I think Mueller is emphasising this point to hide his disappointment at not being able to find collusion, which after all was the raison d'etre for the whole inquiry.

KnottMatthew waste of time

KnottMatthew Only for the desperate Dummocraps who still can't accept the election result.

Robert Mueller resigns as special counsel, addresses Russia reportSpecial counsel Robert Mueller, breaking a two-year silence on his investigation into ties between Russia and the Trump campaign on Wednesday, said that he believed he was constitutionally barred from charging President Donald Trump with a crime, and emphasised that his report did not exonerate the president. There's nothing new to see here. There is still no evidence that Trump committed any crime. None. And Mueller might not have been able to indict Trump had there been evidence, but he could have easily recommended that Congress do so. Yet he didn't. Because there was no crime.

Robert Mueller breaks silence, insists Donald Trump was not exonerated by his investigationUS Special Counsel Robert Mueller said his investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election was never going to end with criminal charges against Donald Trump, but reiterated his report did not exonerate the president. Shorthand of Mueller’s statement: “RTFM” If he had any evidence he could have easily referred that evidence to Congress and/or the DOJ. But he didn't do that. And that's because there is no evidence. And that's because there was no crime committed by Trump. Seriously, you don't need to be a genius to work this out. So it shifted from Russia Russia Russia to Obstruction Obstruction Obstruction, only because the president pushed back after all the salacious lies and mistreatment. Did you expect he would just sit there and take it? He cooperated fully, nothing to hide.
