Mueller said specifically they wouldn't say so without an indictment as the accused would have no legal process to show otherwise.

Mueller essentially said we would have but we couldn't. Congress, you're up.

where did he say that?

i thought he said, we can’t conclude there wasn’t a crime, and even if there was we can’t indict a sitting president, so congress you’re up.

he’s going to get impeached.

will be nice to get back to governing.

On obstruction he didn't say they couldn't conclude there was a crime, he said they decided not to make a judgement because of the DoJ guidelines which allow investigation and the preservation of evidence but not indictment of the President.

The case for obstruction is all there, it's why nearly a thousand former prosecutors have signed the letter stating just that.

...he might not be able to indict but he could certainly come to a conclusion or a judgment based on his exhaustive investigation and evidence as to whether Trump committed any crimes...that he's engaged is this sophistry is a reflection of his failure and frustrations and he's probably getting a lot of heat from the media and democrats who are similarly frustrated...sore loser democrats are really embarrassing themselves...can't wait for the impeachment and I'm begging the dems to subpoena Mueller to testify....he should answer a few questions...if there really is a case for obstruction then fire away...this should be really entertaining

I think he was pretty clear in stating that rendering a judgement in a manner where the accused has no ability to put up a defense isn't fair and that Congress is the proper place to hear this out.
