"I think there’s enough there that any other person who had engaged in those acts would certainly have been indicted. But because of the rule in the Justice Department that you can’t indict a sitting president, the whole matter of obstruction was very directly sent to the Congress," she said.
"If you read that part of the report, it could not be clearer. As I read basically what I thought it was saying is, ‘Look we think he obstructed justice here are 11 examples of why we think he obstructed justice but we are under the control of the Justice Department, and their rule is you can’t indite,'" she added. Attorney General William Barr released the redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on collusion between President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia. The Mueller probe failed to find any evidence proving President Trump committed a crime. "The evidence we obtained about the President’s actions and intent present difficult issues that prevent us from conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him," the report states.
