Obviously you heard just what you wanted to hear. Mueller said he could "not prove" that Trump and his team worked with Russia, but he was clear that Trump and team "welcomed" Russian interference -which, by the way is against the law. He never said that Trump did not interfere with the investigation -which is what Obstruction of Justice is. Trump firing Comey and trying to cover it up, lying and covering up Jr.'s meeting with the Russians, ordering McGhan to fire Mueller, and then covering that up - are all obstruction of justice. Trump totally shut down the Cyber Warfare unit that Obama set up -which pretty much ensures Russia a free pass to keep interfering. sad.

In case you didn't know this, the Job of a Special Counsel does not include proving anything. The job of a Special Counsel is simply to investigate an alleged crime and if sufficient evidence exists to justify an indictment, then to issue the indictment to either a grand jury or a court for prosecution. If sufficient evidence does not exist to justify an indictment, then the Special Counsel must decline.
President Trump DID NOT cover up firing Comey and that was not an obstruction of justice. A POTUS has the constitutional and legal authority to fire anyone working in the Executive Branch. Moreover, Deputy AG Rosenstein sent Trump a DOJ memo recommending that Comey be fired, and president Trump acted on that recommendation.
There is no evidence, no documentation, no memo, email, or recording, and it is not mentioned in the Mueller Report that "Trump and team 'welcomed' Russian interference".
Telling someone to do something is not a crime unless that someone did it. However, in this case, had McGhan fired Mueller, it would not have been a crime. Mueller was not appointed by the POTUS and he was not confirmed by the senate. As noted above, the POTUS has the constitutional and legal authority to fire an inferior officer in the DOJ any time he pleases.
On July 13, 2018, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein announced that a grand jury in the District of Columbia returned an indictment presented by the Special Counsel’s Office (Mueller). The indictment charges twelve Russian military officers by name for conspiring to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. The indictment charged these Russians (known as "Troll Farms") on 12 counts, including
1) conspiring to access computers without authorization, and to damage to those computers, in connection with efforts to interfere with the presidential election.
2) aggravated identity theft by employing the usernames and passwords of victims in order to commit computer fraud.
3) money laundering for transferring cryptocurrencies through a web of transactions in order to purchase computer servers, register domains, and make other payments in furtherance of their hacking activities, while trying to conceal their connections to Russia.
4) conspiracy to access computers without authorization, and to cause damage those computers, in connection with efforts to infiltrate computers used to administer elections.
"There is no allegation in this indictment that any American citizen committed a crime. There is no allegation that the conspiracy changed the vote count or affected any election result."No where in this indictment does Donald Trump's name or the names of anyone associated with him appear.
As I understand it, you "model" yourself after Lord Jesus Christ, He is your guiding light. Last I heard, Jesus does not look favorably upon those who bear false witness against a fellow human being.
