    I thought there was lots of evidence but mueller basically said it wasn’t his place to prosecute and I’m going to leave it up to congress to do their job and prosecute.

    They did not do their job.

      Yep it was a cop-out. I will post my copy-pasta on this for anyone’s interest, but basically.

      In the worst case, it was laziness and passing the buck by Mueller; in the best case it was him trying to dodge Barr from closing the case in the DOJ. Either way the recommended charges brought forward had nothing to do with conspiracy or coordination, but rather perjury and obstruction.
