“I want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by Mr. Lieu who said, and I quote, ‘You didn't charge the president because of the OLC opinion.’”
“That is not the correct way to say it,” Mueller said. “As we say in the report and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime.”
There seems to be a lot of misinformation circulating around the net and otherwise, so to be clear. The Special Counsel did not indict the President of the United States of America for obstruction of justice because the Office of Legal Counsel states the DOJ cannot indict a sitting president. Maybe there is someone who can actually straighten this out.
