Andrew C. McCarthy: Robert Mueller Violated Prosecutorial Standards By Smearing Trump Without the Evidence For an Actual Criminal Charge

In his report, Mueller didn't resolve the [obstruction] issue. If he had been satisfied that there was no obstruction crime, he said, he would have so found. He claimed he wasn't satisfied. Yet he was also not convinced that there was sufficient proof to charge. Therefore, he made no decision, leaving it to Attorney General William Barr to find that there was no obstruction.
This is unbecoming behavior for a prosecutor and an outrageous shifting of the burden of proof: The constitutional right of every American to force the government to prove a crime has been committed, rather than to have to prove his or her own innocence.
This is exactly why prosecutors should never speak publicly about the evidence uncovered in an investigation of someone who isn't charged. The obligation of the prosecutor is to render a judgment about whether there is enough proof to charge a crime. If there is, the prosecutor indicts; if there is not, the prosecutor remains silent.
If special counsel Mueller believed there was an obstruction offense, he should have had the courage of his convictions and recommended charging the president. Since he wasn't convinced there was enough evidence to charge, he should have said he wasn't recommending charges. Period.
Anything else was -- and is -- a smear. Worse than that, it flouts the Constitution.

The Federalist's Margot Cleveland agrees:

After two years and spending an estimated $35 million, Robert Mueller issued a 448-page report that ignored the governing special counsel regulations. Those regulations required Mueller, at the conclusion of the special counsel's work, to "provide the Attorney General with a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached by the Special Counsel."
Yet, instead of issuing the mandated closing documentation, Mueller explained that his team "determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment" of whether "to initiate or decline a prosecution."

Attorney General William Barr spoke during today's press conference of Mueller's failure to perform this regulatorily required duty. When asked why he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein felt it necessary "to take it to the next step to conclude there was no crime," Barr retorted:
The very prosecutorial function and all our powers as prosecutors, including the power to convene grand juries and compulsory process that’s involved there, is for one purpose and one purpose only. It’s to determine yes or no, was alleged conduct criminal or not criminal. That is our responsibility and that’s why we have the tools we have. And we don’t go through this process just to collect information and throw it out to the public. We collect this information. We use that compulsory process for the purpose of making that decision. And because the special counsel did not make that decision, we felt the department had to. That was a decision by me and the deputy attorney general. Yes.

Yet Mueller wrote that if Trump had proven that he clearly was innocent, then Mueller would have declared him such.

The burden lies on Trump? And at the "clear and convincing evidence" standard of evidence?

The "clear" standard is a high standard of evidence, a midpoint (or so) between the civil courts' preponderance of the evidence standard and the criminal courts' requirement of the state to prove every element of its case (including intent) beyond a reasonable doubt.

And this burden, we're now told, did not lie with the state but with with the accused.

It's not just that Trump must prove his innocence by the lesser preponderance-of-the-evidence standard -- he must prove his innocence by the clear evidence standard.

That's one step shy of saying that Trump must prove his innocence beyond a reasonable doubt.

Why stop at the "clear and convincing" level? Why not shoot the moon, Andrew Weissman?

And because Trump did not meet this made-up standard of providing the prosecutor "clear" evidence of his innocence, Mueller hits him with a "talking indictment" and smears him.

For instance when Trump supposedly denied that he helped write some memo for Jr. about the tower meeting (one of the 10 possible incidents of obstruction the report details), it turns out that was a press statement (not Trump's statement) issued in error by a confused spokesperson. These are molehills that the dems will try to spin into mountains, but they are silly.

Interesting, too, Guiilani says that one of the Mueller lawyers was a well-known terror, who has had two cases flipped by the Supreme Court for misusing this same type obstruction/fraud charge, and who is known for failing to turn over exculpatory evidence. He apparently treated the witnesses "horribly." I might dig around to find out who this is.

95 The "clear" standard is a very high standard between the civil courts' preponderance of the evidence standard and the criminal courts' requirement of the state to prove every element of its case (including intent) beyond a reasonable doubt.

And this burden, we're now told, did not lie with the state but with with the accused.

And because Trump did not meet this made-up standard of providing the prosecutor "clear" evidence of his innocence, Mueller hits him with a "talking indictment" and smears him.

How very Napoleonic of him.

103 This is unbecoming behavior for a prosecutor and an outrageous shifting of the burden of proof: The constitutional right of every American to force the government to prove a crime has been committed, rather than to have to prove his or her own innocence.

But Mueller wasn't a prosecutor. THey couldn't get a Special Prosecutor because there was no crime and no whiff of a crime to prosecute. Mueller was some sort of retarded, halfway compromise of a Special Investigator, hired because Trump committed the perfectly legal and proper and RIGHT act of firing the miserable piece of treasonous shit, James Comey.

Posted by: Insomniac - Founder, Farmer Liberation Front at April 18, 2019 07:05 PM (NWiLs)

If I understand correctly, McGann said Trump told him to fire someone on the investigation because they were hopelessly conflicted (they were at Hillary's parties, gave her lots of money, etc.) and Trump was reasonably concerned he was being set up. Trump said he didn't remember the conversation that way, but in any event, McGann didn't fire anyone because of policy reasons. And whether actually firing whoever would have been obstruction- given the circumstances and lack of underlying crime -is highly doubtful.

Posted by: LASue at April 18, 2019 07:26 PM (XROPS)

119 In his report, Mueller didn't resolve the [obstruction] issue. If he had been satisfied that there was no obstruction crime, he said, he would have so found. He claimed he wasn't satisfied. Yet he was also not convinced that there was sufficient proof to charge. Therefore, he made no decision, leaving it to Attorney General William Barr to find that there was no obstruction.

I've been hearing from my lib friends (yes, I have a few) about what a great soldier/Ranger/ hero Mueller was in Vietnam.
Yeah right. So were a couple of hundred thousand other guys.
While on Active Duty, I did a number of Article 15-6 investigations and sometimes, as unpopular as they were, you had to lay it out for the boss. This is what you find! No mealy mouthing.

The worst part is Mueller really had a chance to restore some dignity and credibility to our justice and law enforcement agencies that have clearly been weaponized as political tools. On that he failed and failed miserably by yielding to the worst political inclinations possible.

One day, if our countries citizens stand against each other in battle, you can thank people like Bob the Ranger Mueller and his band of partisan Douchebags.

Did it strike you as odd that the only person Barr praised today, effusively, was Rod Rosenstein, the guy Barr asked to stay at the DOJ and help wrap this whole thing up?

I've said this a hundred times but go look at the events of May 2017. Look at who opened the investigation, look who took it away, look at the result.

No collusion, no obstruction, no impeachment.

This didn't all happen by chance.

Posted by: JackStraw at April 18, 2019 07:35 PM (/tuJf)

176 123 The question that needs to be answered is at what point in this investigation did Mueller know there was no collusion.

yes, Margot Cleveland makes a very persuasive case that Mueller was nigh-certain there was no collusion back in 2017, I think. Search the federalist for her articles.

We saw the Progs in Congress throw away the legal principle of "innocent until proven guilty" during the Kavanaugh SCOTUS hearings. We shouldn't be surprised that they'd push that illegal idea once more during the Mewler investigation.
It's Prog incrementalism and it's designed to chip away at our legal foundation just a bit every time it gets used, like in this situation. Eventually, people will forget that we're all supposed to have the right to be presumed innocent and we'll become Russia or some third-world shithole in short order.

Just as planned.
Ok, now how do we reverse the radical Left/Prog's destruction of our rights? And who's going to do it? Anybody? Bueller?

I think this is basically like angrily shouting "I don't care what you do, but I hate that guy and I want him gone - now!" But nobody followed through on that. So the next day everyone had calmed down, in effect nobody did anything but the president had "ordered them" to "do something wrong".

No I am not.
There is no evidence that the Russians interfered in the election in any material way.

There is no evidence the hacked the DNC, Podesta or Hillary.
There is no evidence that they ran disinformation campaign that amounted to anything.

Per Mark Zuckerburg, the "Russian" ad buy on youtube was $4K.

Hillary and Co spent 1 billion on advertising.

There is no evidence they penetrated or attempted to penetrate voting systems.

In short, the Kenyan Dogeater and his crew did more to interfere with the election the Russians could ever dream of.

The Russian interference assertion is complete and utter bullshit.

A lot of folks think this means Barr and Trump aren't willing to get rid of him.

I think it means he's flipped - and in a big way. Rosenstein is covered in this, and everyone knows it. Didn't Barr specifically thank him for 'staying on' and postponing is "much deserved" retirement?

Yeah, they're going to roll this up in short order.

And for those who want to know why the indictments haven't been issued, ask yourself: Who was on Mueller's team? Who did he pick?

Everyone who was implicated, that's who. If Sessions or anyone else laid a finger on them before the investigation was over, it would have been OMG OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE!!!1

Trump is not as other men.

I thought that would be obvious by now.

Again, consider what would have happened if Trump or Sessions went after McCabe and Strzok. Both are peons, little petty players. The path would immediately lead higher and likes to Mueller's team.

At that point: OBSTRUCTION!!! TRUMP IS TRYING TO STOP THE INVESTIGATION.

Trump therefore chose to let it run its course. He's like a prize-fighter letting his opponent wear himself out before hitting back.

Now Mueller is gassed, swaying on the canvas, and Trump can take the whole conspiracy apart.

The best kind of nood, short of pudding cups or flaming skulls.

334 All day, many Democrats have flat out said "Russia attacked the United States, and......."

Help me out here, I missed the battles.

335 Edelweiss; a song sung by a wealthy patriotic family and their fellow citizens, as they escape the snare laid out for them by an evil, power-mad Police State.

"You don't really belong to them, Rolfe. Put that gun down. And put down that tweet, Maggie. You don't belong to...oh, I guess you do belong to them after all."

Yes--now I understand.

336 Better question: Why does Spaghetti taste different from Ziti, and why does Ziti taste different from Pasta
Shells?

It all tastes the same. You've been gas lighted.

341 CNN, MSNBC, and the rest are DNC televangelists.

Yeah, its all really just bread dough shaped into rubber hoses. My Italian wife thinks their shape determines how the "gravy" tastes on them, but what does she know?

344 Dare I say, source? Can you back it up, Sharkman?

I'm not hating if you can't, I'm a cheerful baseless speculator myself.

No source other than reading between the lines for about three years, adding in what we already know about how Brennan and Clapper illegally spied for years on Americans, understanding just how corrupt Hillary and her Cabal have been and of course realizing Obama was the most lawless president we have ever had.

We shall see.

346 that CNN panel wasn't a news panel, it was an encounter group for DNC televangelists to process their feelings about the OrangeManBad not being indicted.

347 342 - the shape of pasta is designed to work with certain sauces. Long flat fettucini allows a rich alfredo cream sauce to coat each strand. Ridged tubes like rigatoni capture more chunky and robust sauces like bolognese. That might be why certain pastas taste different...it's how they carry the sauce.

348 i don't want to spread rumors but i've heard things about Harf that make me not really attracted to her.
I'll leave it there.

349 The thing that made Hillary's email server a "nothing burger" to the Dems was the claim that there was no provable breach by her server.

The emails that Trump hoped Russia would find were the 33K emails that were under subpoena that she *deleted* and bleach-bitted.

So, if the Russians *could* find deleted emails, it would habe been PROOF of a breach that they deny.

Why isn't more made of this stupid "He told the Russians to hack" ass-narrative?

350 Nunes just pointed out that the basis of Rosenstein's scope memo to Mueller was the Steele dossier, and there was no doubt at that point it was fraudulent. So both Mueller and Rosenstein knew the "investigation" was a pretextual farce to oust the president--that's not quoting Nunes directly but the logical inference. It's hard to grasp how terrible that is. No wonder the scope memo remains under seal.

It's a forest for the trees thing, but the omissions in Mueller's findings are the most telling aspect (outside what Nunes caught).

There is a very strong case to remove sovereign immunity for those victimized by what happened here. That's almost as important as criminal prosecutions.
