ForReal, Mueller Warns of Russian Sabotage and Rejects Trump’s ‘Witch Hunt’ Claims

""What bullshit and stupidity it is to think that simply because someone spoke to a Russian, it somehow
translates into election interference and lends credibility to a delusional conspiracy theory.

"What bullshit and stupidity it is to" even suggest that Russians (Russia} did not interfere to help Trump in the 2016 election.

When asked whether Mr. Trump “wasn’t always being truthful” in his written answers to the special counsel’s questions, Mr. Mueller responded, “I would say generally.” He called Mr. Trump’s praise of WikiLeaks during the 2016 campaign “problematic” and said it “gave a boost to what is and should be illegal activity.”

He said that he and his team chose not to subpoena Mr. Trump out of concern that a battle over a presidential interview might needlessly prolong the investigation, and said that Mr. Trump could be charged with obstruction of justice after he leaves office.

Mr. Mueller also acknowledged that his investigators had explicitly declined to exonerate the president’s efforts to impede the inquiry. “The finding indicates that the president was not exculpated for the acts that he allegedly committed,” Mr. Mueller said.

So Mueller didn't subpoena Trump for the same reason the Democrats didn't subpoena Bolton, Pompeo and others in their impeachment inquiry.

IF Trump had been open and honest in the search for the truth then neither Mueller nor the
Democrats would have had to worry about delay because of Trump's obstructionist activities.
