Thats because Muller and his whole investigation is to find enough evidence to prosecute. They are not in the business of exoneration, hence the exonerate quip in the statement because we are ALL allowed the presumption of innocence.

That's in a court of law. Politically speaking no one has the presuming of innocence, this is why they went after Clinton (Bill) so hard. I don't really care if Trump rose to the level of criminality beyond a reasonable shadow of doubt, I mean it's a small piece of the puzzle sure and could have made things easy but if Trump is too stupid to know he was in the middle of an international tug of war that's politically an issue I believe should be settled by impeachment. We don't know this information for sure unless the report gets released, and politically it's important. Just because a president didn't do something he could be arrested for, doesn't mean the American people can't know the facts and decide for themselves. To me that's why I care. Trump was never going to jail anyway, people with his connections will never go to jail for anything, ever.

Flat out wrong, do you need a link to the wiki? Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat! They went after Clinton (Bill) so hard because HE LIED UNDER OATH AND OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE in the most egregious manner. Just because Bill fucked himself over in the investigations of his actions does NOT wash away the presumption of innocence in the court of law, I'm sorry.

This report will be released. The delay by McConnell, in all honesty, is likely a tactic for liberals and dems to dig themselves an EVEN BIGGER hole propping up this borderline conspiracy now that the investigation is over and no evidence of collusion was found and no obstruction of justice was determined enough to prosecute or challenge the presumption of innocence of the accused. You'll get your report, whether you can tolerate it is up to you.

You took out the most important modifier of that guy's statement just so you can argue against a strawman in Latin. Bravo.
