"Today’s hearings were extremely important and made clear — counter to the president’s tweets today — that the Mueller report did *not* exonerate Trump, and did *not* clear the president of any wrongdoing." —@MMCinDC, our Chief Oversight Counsel

Thread:

@MMCinDC "On the contrary, Special Counsel Mueller testified that Russia interfered in the election to help Trump and that Trump welcomed that help — about which Mueller said “problematic is an understatement.” Another description would be: Just shy of a criminal conspiracy."

@MMCinDC "Mueller also made clear that he could not indict the president due solely to longstanding DOJ policy — not because of lack of evidence of wrongdoing. That is, with the same evidence, any other American would have been charged with a crime."

@MMCinDC "This is why Congress’ investigation is so important. With the justice system unable to act, only Congress can take action to ensure that no person is above the law — not even the president."
