"“Mueller’s report says he chose not to decide whether Trump broke the law because there’s an official [DOJ] opinion that indicting a sitting president is unconstitutional, & because of concerns about impacting president’s ability to govern &
preempting possible impeachment,” Amash wrote.
“Barr’s letter doesn’t mention those issues when explaining why Mueller chose not to make a prosecutorial decision,” he continued.
“Barr’s letter doesn’t mention those issues when explaining why Mueller chose not to make a prosecutorial decision,” he continued.
“He instead selectively quotes Mueller in a way that makes it sound — falsely — as if Mueller’s decision stemmed from legal/factual issues specific to Trump’s actions. 
But, in fact, Mueller finds considerable evidence that several of Trump’s actions detailed in the report meet the elements of obstruction.”"
