Lieu: Mueller ‘Absolutely’ Reached a Conclusion Regarding Whether Trump Committed a Crime freebeacon.com/politics/lieu-…
During Mueller's testimony, Lieu asked if the reason the former special counsel did not indict Trump was because of an Office of Legal Counsel opinion prohibiting charging a sitting president.

"That's correct," Mueller responded.
"I want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by Mr. Lieu who said, and I quote, ‘you didn't charge the President because of the OLC opinion,'" Mueller said. "That is not the correct way to say it.
...As we say in the report, and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime."

Why Fortress Washington Loves Illegals - The Post & Email thepostemail.com/2019/07/26/why…
Conservative pundits would have us believe that the Democrats want open borders to usher in hundreds of thousands (or millions) of future Democrat voters. Sure, that’s a factor, but there’s more — MUCH MORE.

The reason boils down to MONEY! Hold that thought.
The Chamber of Commerce all but openly advocates for open borders. So, too, does the Democrat Party. Even many Republicans secretly want open borders, even if they won’t openly say so. Why would they do that?

Leftists’ Effective Dirty Trick newswithviews.com/leftists-effec…
I heard another black pastor’s sermon attacking Trump while listening to Christian radio with earbuds on my phone during my daily walk.. He said that President Trump’s MAGA slogan does not include all Americans. He bitterly asked his congregation, “When was America ever great?”
As a proud grateful black American, I thought, “One of numerous occasions in which America was great was when 600,000 Americans sacrificed their lives in the civil war to liberate blacks from slavery.”

Mueller Testimony: Democrats Continue Mission To Destroy Trump A Flop newswithviews.com/mueller-testim…
Hillary Clinton claims the U.S. State Department was successful in achieving its tasks under her direction, it appears that once again the former First Lady and Senator is exaggerating her successes during her tenure as Secretary of State
On the campaign trail, Clinton – who claims she still believes there is gender inequality and the continued bullying of woman in America – remained silent about a report that told voters a different story about her fighting for women’s rights.

Mueller just issued an impeachment referral to Congress, in case his report was not clear.

1/ It shouldn't have "surprised" anyone, let alone "everyone," that Mueller declined to opine on whether Trump committed obstruction statutes--even though Mueller's report, fairly read, makes it crystal clear that Trump did so.

😱A NIGHTMARE SCENARIO: The Mueller Investigation is a cover up scam, to sacrifice a few scapegoats to pacify the plebes, defuse a social explosion, to whitewash Trump and the GOP... using as a pretext for secrecy the DOJ rules, executive privilege, and top secret classification.
I KNOW PERFECTLY WELL THIS IS A CONSPIRACY THEORY, and I do not believe it... YET. But that is exactly what people will deduce if justice is denied, Trump & associates get immunity and impunity, or we get anything less than 100% fully & detailed transparency we can believe.
Without full disclosure, the longer it takes, the more obstacles in its way, the less credible it becomes. Anyone who can predict what a cover up of this magnitude will do to America, let me know! Trump is clearly guilty & absent being proven innocent beyond a shadow of a doubt.
