Mueller Report should be end of the story

The Mueller Report was released several months ago in its entirety to the public. Those who can read, let them read. The special counsel was charged with investigating two allegations. One, if there was collusion between Mr. Trump's (now President Donald Trump) re-election campaign and the Russians. After two years and $30 million dollars, the evidence and conclusion: No collusion.

Did President Donald Trump commit obstruction of justice during the investigation? Based on the evidence found, Mr. Mueller could not charge the president with obstruction. Curiously he added that he could not exonerate the president either. Exonerate? In a criminal case you are either innocent or guilty, not exonerated. No obstruction. Should have been end of story. Not so fast.

In his press conference, Mr. Mueller made the following strange and disturbing observation that even if President Donald Trump is not legally culpable for obstruction, there are other ways of holding a president accountable for any wrongdoing. Astounding. How could a man of once-impeccable judicial reputation act so irresponsibly? To throw fuel on the already blazing fire of House Democrats to call for impeachment, Impeachment? This reckless, irresponsible statement assured and now delivered on endless investigations by the House Democrats.

The result, congressional chaos until the 2020 election. Mr. Mueller shame on you.
