Robert Mueller gave the Shakespeare conclusion - "dear Brutus..."

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” *
― William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

In my opinion, if Americans can't see the truth in the message below, delivered by special prosecutor Robert Mueller, then we deserve what we have in the failed and flawed leadership of the evil Donald Trump.

Mueller:  …[I]f we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, however, we are unable to reach that judgment. … Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime [add: because to do so would violate due process principles], it does not exonerate him.’ (italics added)..(published opinion by Lani Davis, in The Hill...)

And Mueller's refusal on Wednesday to state legal conclusions on the overwhelming evidence of obstruction of justice in his report, he was actually adhering to due process principles. He passed the baton to where it belongs: the impeachment and removal power uniquely possessed under our Constitution by the U.S. Congress.

Special counsel Robert Mueller, in his first public statement about his Russia probe on May 29, did not exonerate Donald Trump. He, instead, explained why his office never indicted him for the crime of obstruction of justice.

"As set forth in the report, after the investigation, if we had confidence that the president did not clearly commit a crime, we would have said so," he told reporters at the Justice Department Wednesday.

*Prophetic Shakespeare.....
