Robert Mueller has handled the case over to the politicians ….
They will dig…
But with a Republican US Senate majority?
There will be ON impeachment…
The problem for Donald Trump?
He WILL STILL he under legal pressure from Congress, other Federal Attorney’s and State prosecutors….
Special counsel Robert Mueller wrote in his report that Congress has the authority to conduct obstruction of justice investigations, stating that such probes provide a check if a president is corrupt.
“With respect to whether the President can be found to have obstructed justice by exercising his powers under Article II of the Constitution, we concluded that Congress has the authority to prohibit a President’s corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice,” Mueller wrote in his more than 400-page report.
Mueller said he reached this conclusion after his office set out to examine the past legal precedent governing such matters because the Department of Justice (DOJ) and courts have “not definitively resolved these issues.”
“We therefore examined those issues through the framework established by the Supreme Court precedent governing separation-of-powers issues,” he wrote.
He also noted that the DOJ and the president’s legal counsel have argued that the president “is subject to statutes that prohibit obstruction of justice by bribing a witness or suborning perjury because that conduct does not implicate his constitutional authority.”
Democrats will likely use Mueller’s remarks as a shield to defend their half-dozen investigations into Trump’s administration, businesses and campaign amid calls from Republicans for the probes to shutter.

Well?
Judge Andrew Napolitano, a senior judicial analyst for Fox News, wrote an editorial arguing that President Trump has indeed obstructed justice.
“The president’s job is to enforce federal law. If he had ordered its violation to save innocent life or preserve human freedom, he would have a moral defense. But ordering obstruction to save himself from the consequences of his own behavior is unlawful, defenseless and condemnable.”
