Weeks before his testimony, Mueller was specifically told by Barr that if he found reasons to bring charges against the president that he could do so and not worry about the rule being discussed in the media that you can’t indict a sitting president (MSM was hedging their bets so that if Trump got off, they could say that it was only because of this rule)
When Mueller turned in his report, he to.d Barr and Rosenstein to their face (and my understanding g also in writing ) that the reason he did not bring charges against Trump was not because of this technical reason.
During the morning of Mueller’s testimony, he shocked the crowd when he answered a leading question from a Dem affirmatively that the only reason he didn’t bring charges was because of the rule preventing charges from being brought against a sitting president (implying that Trump would have been otherwise indicted).
In the afternoon session, Mueller opened it by clarifying that he had misspoke and that it was NOT the case that the only reason he didn’t indict Trump was because of this rule. Muellers words were intentionally used to hurt Trump.
The Dems in the MSM and on this board prefer to remember the morning testimony without the afternoon addition.
