Mueller Bombshell Hiding in Plain Sight! [View all]

I think everybody is missing the true bombshell in the Mueller report. But it is sitting there almost in plain sight. Ask yourself why Mueller did not draw a conclusion on the obstruction question. Not because he couldn’t decide the question, but because he believes it wasn’t his place to decide the question.

Justice department guidelines hold that a sitting president cannot be indicted. So what would be the point of weighing in on that issue?

Who is assigned the role of standing in judgement of a sitting president then? No one?

Answer the Congress, obviously! And Mueller intended to lay out the “difficult issues of law and fact” to the Congress. Mueller’s report is an open invitation to Congress to begin deliberating impeachment, with his findings as a roadmap.

That’s the real bombshell.

But a funny thing happened, on the way to these deliberations. In a brazen act of usurpation, Barr intercepted the invitation and tried to hide it.

Image if he had not. Imagine the headlines.

Dateline Washington DC. Mueller invites Congress to consider impeachment.
