Brit Hume Comments on Mueller's Statement May 29, 2019:

“I didn’t really hear him say anything that wasn’t in the report. That whole disposition about whether they could or could not charge a sitting President, that was set forth in the report as part of the rationale for not reaching a conclusion on whether the President obstructed justice. I tend to think Andy McCarthy was right, that it was his job to make a determination one way or the other and let the Department of Justice go ahead and invoke the “We can’t prosecute guidance” or not. Look at this this way, if this is the guiding policy, that would mean that had Mueller found collusion, coordination, conspiracy he wouldn’t have been able to say that either, for the same reason. Now I think everyone will recognize that that doesn’t make any sense. As it happened, of course, he didn’t find that and was able to say that; but, if he had found otherwise, he is saying here that he couldn’t say it, he couldn’t conclude that, which means that from the beginning if there were anything found, he was on a fool’s errand. He was setting out to do an investigation about which on neither major matter involving the President could he reach a conclusion. We can see that there is something faulty in his argument, but it is going to be picked up and cited as evidence that there was obstruction, you see. And, only Department guidelines prevented Mueller from reaching that conclusion.”
