His Russia inquiry, detailed in a 448-page 2019 report, laid bare what Mueller and U.S. intelligence agencies have described as a Russian campaign of hacking and propaganda to sow discord in the U.S., denigrate 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and boost Trump, the Kremlin's preferred candidate. Russia denied election interference.
"First, our investigation found that the Russian government interfered in our election in sweeping and systematic fashion," Mueller said during 2019 congressional testimony.
"Second, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired with the Russian government in its election interference activities. We did not address 'collusion,' which is not a legal term. Rather, we focused on whether the evidence was sufficient to charge any member of the campaign with taking part in a criminal conspiracy. It was not," Mueller added.
In analyzing whether Trump had committed the crime of obstruction of justice, Mueller looked at a series of actions. These included Trump's attempts to have the special counsel fired and to limit the scope of the investigation as well as the president's efforts to prevent the public from knowing about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower in New York between senior Trump campaign officials and Russians. Mueller pointedly did not exonerate the president, as Trump claimed.
"Based on Justice Department policy and principles of fairness, we decided we would not make a determination as to whether the president committed a crime," Mueller told lawmakers.
"The president was not exculpated for the acts that he allegedly committed," Mueller added.

Mueller was named by the Justice Department's No. 2 official, Rod Rosenstein, to take over the Russia investigation.

The investigation, according to the report, unearthed "numerous links" between the Russian government and Trump's campaign and said the president's team "expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts," referring to hacked Democratic emails.
Mueller, a longtime Republican, faced unremitting attacks by Trump and his allies on his integrity as they tried to discredit the investigation and the special counsel himself. Trump used social media, speeches and comments to news media to assail Mueller, accusing him of running a politically motivated, "rigged witch hunt," going "rogue," surrounding himself with "thugs" and having conflicts of interest.
"It's all a big hoax," Trump said in 2019.
"Absolutely, it was not a hoax," Mueller told the congressional hearing, noting the numerous charges arising from the probe.
Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was convicted in 2018 on eight charges of financial wrongdoing and pleaded guilty to two others, receiving a 7-1/2-year prison sentence. Longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone was convicted in 2019 of seven counts of lying to Congress, obstruction and witness tampering and sentenced to more than three years in prison. Trump later used his executive clemency power to pardon them. Trump's former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, entered a guilty plea to lying to the FBI. Trump also pardoned Flynn.
The Democratic-led House of Representatives at the time twice impeached Trump after Mueller had finished his work, though those actions did not grow out of the special counsel's findings.

GOOD

He had one job and failed to do it. Fuck him.

He's burning in hell now

Criminals love seeing competent prosecutors go away
Its easier to be mediocre chuds when you don't have to see competent, real Americans do their thing

>>1499218
What a scumbag. Gonna be so many posts like this when Trump dies.

>>1499226
I'm just waiting to see burn in hell trending followed by hearing fireworks.

>>1499227
I'm genuinely going to throw a barbecue and set off fireworks

>>1499237
I'd imagine a lot of people will. It will be like a combination of when we got OBL and Trump's loss to Biden.

And Republicans won't be able to say jack shit cause every line to cross has been erased by them.

>>1499240
>And Republicans won't be able to say jack shit
Oh they'll still whine and scream and clutch their pearls about it
Acknowledging hypocrisy would require shame and introspection, qualities and which are absent by necessity from the modern Republican

>>1499218
Republicans be like
>why yes this is the kind of professionalism and class i look for when i vote

>>1499217
How did you know?

>>1499218
imagine the parties and celebrations that will be done when trump dies, it's gonna be glorious.

>>1499249
Lol

>>1499240
Nah, Republicans will immediately go into full doxing mode and try to get as many people fired and expelled as possible.
>Rules for thee, not for me.

Choosing party over country, he failed to do his job and fucked us all. Can't say I'll miss him.

His job:
-Found evidence on everyone connected to Trump
-Everyone indicted refused to flip on Trump
-Gave evidence to congress with reasonable suspicion Trump is breaking the law and covering the tracks
-Congress be like "NO SMOKING GUN? DENIED!"

oh great he's not only Arab he's also schizo

>>1499293
His job was to make a recommendation and his report said "I can't make a recommendation because it's about a sitting president"

He could have been a great man, but with his quibbling I doubt anyone says his name again after this week

>>1499294
Sorry bro

>>1499296
If that's the case, then he was essentially set up to fail from day 1. If congress refused to look at the evidence to extend his investigation(which was being heavily rushed thanks to Trump flipping out), and given more access to presidential files to uncover Trumps crimes, then what more could he have done.

>>1499299
Grown a spine and made a recommendation. Doesn't even have to be the recommendation i agree with. But he didn't. He was lukewarm and his name will be forgotten

>>1499240
The 2020 electionb owl thread was probably one of the most interesting threads in /news/ history.
Mainly seeing real time information pouring in and /news/men correctly predicting trump was going to stage a coup after he lost.
https://archived.moe/news/thread/721741

It was still wild how close that election was, but that just shows how the conservatively biased media was able to tilt the tables in favor of trump even after he fucking destroyed everything and was getting scores of Americans killed with the trump virus.

>>1499307
no one cares boomer

>>1499299
>If that's the case, then he was essentially set up to fail from day 1.
Just say you want to impeach. That's it. Him being like "I CAN'T SHITTALK THE PRESIDENT, HE'S LITERALLY MY KING" is what set up what is happening right now. Pussy ass bitch democrats who won't stand up for themselves because they forgot that 'Presiden't doesnt mean 'king' are why we are in this shit.

>>1499309
nah, billionaires are why we are in this shit

>>1499310
The solution is to nationalize their property.

>>1499307
/news/ was dead on the money about the entire election. We called Trump losing, we called him making some stupid fucking tweet at the 9th hour about trying to "RALLY THE PATRIOTS". And everyone called that it would result in violence. /pol/ called it was a glownigger op, /news/ called that it was Proud Boys trying to break shit while using regular boomers and slight-right college students as a shield. 4chan was literally never wrong about it.

Even about 2024, everyone on this board called that Kamala had overplayed her hand and was going to lose the presidency and Red was going to gain the Senate. I don't think anyone called that they would gain the house, too.

>>1499310
>billionaires
They're a symptom of what is happening. Massive amounts of money only flowing upwards can only happen with shit like PPP where regular millionaires are scooping money out of hte treasury straight to their pockets, which would have been prevented if Mueller just told Congress to impeach the fucker.

>>1499308
>boomer
That was six years ago, are you six years old?

>>1499313
you think politicians enriching themselves started with trump? even truman had his scandals, of course they were a hand in a cookie jar by comparison

>>1499314
More important to stop the ongoing corruption first then stop future corruption then punish past corruption

He couldn't make a recommendation because there was no evidence of Russian collusion. He intentionally worded it in a way to allow Democrats to virtue signal. He wasn't trying to follow the law, he was looking for any and every reason to use lawfare against Trump and he was acting in bad faith from the beginning

>>1499313
>with shit like PPP where regular millionaires are scooping money out of hte treasury straight to their pockets
Give some examples of this

>>1499320
sure, but you can't run turf you don't own, and i'd say democrats have been pretty much fucked since they let bush punk them out of the election he stole

>>1499320
You weren't saying this when Biden was cucking the entire middle class for four years

>>1499368
A bold stance to take while Trump’s cucking the middle class.

>>1499368
Biden wasn't corrupt and helped the middle class.

>>1499369
So you have
>>1499371
>helped the middle class.
By opening the border and inflating the dollar 50%?

>>1499378
god you're esl

>>1499371
lol, fuck off child.

>>1499387
hating america on the internet is no way to go about things
just improve your own shithole country, and one day (if a white man decides to stop by and fix things for you) you'll live in a nice country too

>>1499309
Congress have delegated more and more of their power over to the president to transform it into a kings position, over them not wanting to do their jobs and still be paid for it.

>>1499381
>>1499387
found the cultists

>>1499407
Imagine spending all that time and effort and money to get to sit at the big boy table of the biggest, most powerful country in the history of mankind, then going "lol fuck it" and giving it all up.
So you can get free money I guess.

>>1499408
Found the concession shill.
Thanks again for your concession.

>>1499312
>Slight right
ff you're taking part of a coup, you're not near the center spectrum.
Also speaking of trump's failed coup, the guy who tried to pipe bomb democrats is now declaring he's covered by trump's blanket pardon for everyone involved in carrying out his coup.

>>1499218
The sheer lack of class from this fuck never ceases to amaze.

>>1499312
Odds are trump and elon stole 2024 with how things were magically outside of the margins in every single wing state, but democrats are gutless to call it out.
Just a repeat of 2000 when Republicans openly stole that election.

>>1499873
lol I guess you have no concept of how terrible the Biden admin was.

>>1499877
That's because he was too conservative and you ain't fixing all the damage trump did in 1 term.

>>1499249
His grave will be the most used urinal in the country.

for the last time, Mueller had no authority to charge anyone.
He presented his findings to Congress, and Sen Nancy Pelosi said, "thanks" and did nothing. Failure to prosecute falls solely on Congress.

>>1499923
There was nothing to prosecute though.

>>1499218
Trump was ultimately vindicated
Mueller was ultimately proven wrong

>>1499310
The state was telling businesses what to do during COVID.
How far away we were allowed to stand from each other. What products we were allowed to sell. It decided who was essential and who was non-essential.
It was the bureaucrats not the billionaires

>>1499371
Biden promised to reduce the price of housing.
It went up 36% as he was president
Biden promised to reduce the rate of inflation
It went up 20-30% during his presidency

>>1499930
Hey now, that's whataboutism. You can't justify how bad Trump is by simply poiting out how abysmal Biden was.

>>1499930
The thing people like the anons you're replying to, and likely yourself, do not understand is anyone with even slight critical thinking skills undstands that objectively a number of presidents through our history, including Biden, have been fucking awful. But saying ' old man 1 was bad to' does not make the fact that old man 2 is also a horrible fucking person go away.

Well, yea know, Hoover was pretty bad during his presidency, and didn't solve the great depression. So honestly Obama, Biden, and Trump? Actual saints. Holy even. The best.

>>1499930
>>1499933
Ah yes, Biden caused the global housing market to get worse and global pandemic era inflation. It effected the entire world. So it was clearly Biden fault. You're not a disingenuous simpleton at all.

>>1499934
Biden: terrible
Obama: ACA
Trump: way better than any modern presient easily.
Faggots: Assblasted
Toons: Seething
OP: A fag
(You): either a faggot or troon

You love assblasting faggots, don't you? Because you're so secure and straight, like all conservatives. Definitely not barely holding back your cocklust here, nosirree.

No, it wasn't satire, but thank you for pointing out right wing retards don't understand sarcasm, I'll try to talk like I'm talking to a retarded five year old so we're only a bit above your reading level.

Classic

The statement "Biden wasn't corrupt and helped the middle class." is undeniable. Because if you post proof that he undermined the middleclass and made their lives worse that is whataboutism

>>1499945

Trump is the one who's openly corrupt and destroyed the middle class and continues to destroy America, but Russians like you will choose to deflect

>>1500098
How is Trump destroying the middle class and America?
He's not responsible for the massive inflation, Joe Biden was.

>>1500101
Trump has been president for over a year and said he would fix inflation on day one. Said it over and over. Ran on it. Won the election because of that promise. When does it become his fault? 2 years in? 3 years? At what point does it become Trump’s responsibility?

>>1500228
Well we don't seem to be facing the same inflation as during Joe Biden
https://i.imgur.com/cCgEfoN.jpeg
So yeah, inflation is fixed. It peaked at 9.1% under Joe Biden, and under Donald Trump's second term the highest inflation rate has been 3% in September of 2025, or 1/3rd of Joe Biden's peak inflation
