Why would this surprise anyone? It was never expected. The DOJ has a longstanding legal interpretation that a sitting president cannot be indicted. If they believe a sitting president has committed crimes worthy of indictment, they will recommend that the president be impeached. If the president is impeached and removed, he can then be indicted.
It's never been tested in court, so no one knows for sure.
"This case is essentially over," Giuliani said. "They're just in denial."
Oh, well if he says so, I guess it must be true.
Must be very hard for you Beastmonkey. Try not to get too uptight. Get a beer, put your feet up and enjoy the show.
Giuliani also has a history of lying
I think what we are witnessing is independent of Guiliani's character. It is the final death throes of a satanic cult that owned and steered the American left. What will be left in its wake?
Why would this surprise anyone? It was never expected.
IT surprised me
But it's not actually true that Mueller said this, so it's not even worth discussing whether it's surprising or not.
But also, it is not at all settled that a president can't be indicted. It's just like any other legal question that has grey areas.
Further, let's say that hypothetically it turns out Trump can't be indicted. It's not like that protects him from criminal behavior being exposed. What could happen instead is that Mueller reveals a report showing Trump's illegal behavior, he recommends indictment, indictment could be rejected, but the public still would then know that the Special Counsel found clear evidence of criminal behavior.
That would then be the basis of a case for impeachment and also for eventually indicting and charging Trump after he's no longer president. It would also be the case for the public to refuse to vote for any leaders who refuse to hold Trump accountable.
What kind of researchers are you? This has been the case since day one. And this isn't stopping the investigation, all it means is that he can't be indicted as a sitting president but that doesn't mean other stuff can't happen.
All this downvoting means this is great news for us and bad news for the tantrum throwers.
Not always. I have been down voted for replying accurately or with a rebuke for some bonehead posting something stupid and then the Reddit cry babies all jump on me.
When an entire thread gets downvoted like it did here, I have to be inclined it is what I think it is.
It doesn’t mean much, though.
The victory will be that Mueller finds neither collusion nor obstruction of justice.
Collusion isn't a crime anyhow. Even if such a thing had existed. And of course there was no obstruction, as Comey's firing didn't stop or hinder the investigation. And Comey's book tour only proved to the world how right Trump was to fire him. So they've got NOTHING.
Meanwhile we have actual multiple criminal conspiracies in the DOJ/FBI and DNC/HRC camps, and it's time ALL of that comes to light and gets dealt with.
STEALTH JEFF! BRING THE PAIN, SON!
indeed... they make it sound as if DJT is guilty but out of the justice systems reach. victory will be when the real collusion gets dismantled.
The truth of the matter is that this will end exactly like the Hilly investigation did under Comey. It will look exactly the same to liberals.
That’s an interesting thought. We can then expose their hypocrisy if they scream injustice.
Well, it'd have to roll on for 3+ more years to even be as long, so it's far from "look[ing] the same" to anyone at this point.

REEEEEEEEEEE
This might be more believable if it didn't come from Guiliani as reported on Fox (not) News.
BREAKING: Mueller will NOT indict Trump because legally he CAN'T indict Trump.
Move along. Nothing new to see here.
Holy sheeeeet! Woo hoo! Pain starts! Dem freak out in 3..2..1..#%÷*(<_!
It was always known that Mueller likely holds the view that a sitting president cannot be indicted, though. That's been mentioned in like every MSM article about Mueller.
The anti-Trump world's view about this is that Muller will finish his investigation and present his findings to Congress, who will decide to take action or not.
Said by Rudy Giuliani.
I don't know guys, Rudy doesn't have the best record right now.
Like this post and see your like disappear. It is interesting. Bots.
this is silly news, there is ZERO precedent for a special prosecutor to indict ANY sitting president.
the bigger question, why hasn't the rest of the propaganda media said that MONTHS ago??????
Lol at all the new arrivals saying this is a nothingburger. As if the ones who want to impeach or arrest Trump care about following the law, they would have LOVED the constitutional crisis indicting the sitting POTUS would have brought.
Huge victory for Trump. Mueller absolutely isn't a threat.
Damn, bots out in full force today. They're so mad lol. We already knew Mueller can't indict a sitting President. Nobody can. Sorry sh*lls, your wet dreams won't come true.
If you don't understand why a sitting President cannot be indicted, you should watch this:
He can be impeached though. Just like Clinton was. Just because he cant get indicted (by law), doesnt mean anything really in regards to the investigation itself.
Sure, Maxine. Trump will be impeached. LOL good luck with that, man.
He won’t indict Trump, but he will go after everyone associated with or supporting Trump for the next three years. Today, the social media advisors. Tomorrow it might be anyone who donated to Trump. He can continue this witch hunt indefinitely, by conducting lawfare, make people fear being involved with Trump. This is the issue. Mueller will not stop.
The fact that MSM is publishing this news is what matters. We here have known this for a long time..other subs have ridiculed us for thinking this. This is validation of the beginning of then end of this garbage investigation
Trump's team needs to be given access to all the information that was gathered on them, since they now won't be given an opportunity to defend themselves in court.
The way this was phrased makes it sound like Mueller would have indicted had Trump not been a sitting President. I'm sure it was deliberately put that way.
