The Mueller Report thread

The actual text of Mueller's correction:
"Before we go to questions, I want to add one correction to my testimony this morning," Mueller told the panel. "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.' 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."

This is again the second time he appeared to contradict Barr's summary, only to issue a correction.  The above statement does not say, as some keep trying to suggest, that the OLC opinion prevented either charges or a determination of charges.

The correction changes a seeming bombshell to nothing new, and those reporters appeared to be attempting to engage in hypotheticals that ignored the correction.

President isn't going to acknowledge a question about whether or not he could be indicted after leaving office.  That's a stupid gotchya question and Trump justifiably crapped on it.

I dunno about a Washington Post article, but CBS addressed it:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mueller-corrected-statement-did-mueller-change-his-statement-that-trump-could-be-indicted-after-leaving-office/

But he did say in a separate question that Trump could be indicted once he left office. I think it was a Republican who he was responding to. I don't believe he corrected his statement in that regard.
