Mueller should have just said “trump is guilty but the DoJ won’t let me charge him.”
Instead he stood silently while barr and trump misrepresented what he found and now the average joe who isn’t following this doesn’t think there’s a reason to impeach.
More than one pundit on the Left has bemoaned the fact that what the Mueller Reporter needed above ALL ELSE was a competent writer, or, at least, a decent editor!
To this criticism, I concur. It is written in a “sort of” amalgam of English and ‘legalese’, which makes for extremely awkward reading – and in today’s population, I suspect that the significance of a “double negative” is completely lost, as is the importance of a word like “shall” when used in the wording of a statute!
Mueller MUST BE COMPELLED to testify in open televised session of Congress – there are just too many functionally illiterate members of the American populace to expect them to wade through the almost 500 page Mueller Report, and the largest segment possible needs to be exposed to what Mueller found in his two year investigation.
If this means exposing Mueller to the ignorant and stupid ‘banalities’ of the republican members of the committee, then so be it. It might even be refreshing to Mueller to be exposed to such nonsense – he been surrounded by intelligent people for too long, anyway, and having to deal with such institutional stupidity might do him good – at the very least, it will bring forth the reason America needs to HEAR FROM HIM in his own words in his own voice!
If nothing else, hearing from the republicans will make him ‘appreciate’ that hardly a one has bothered to actually READ his report – either that or they didn’t understand all the big words he used! God knows, little Billy Barr surely didn’t (read it or understand it or both – you choose!)
I once read where a woman said “At least he never hit me” of her dead husband. What a thing to have carved on your gravestone. Apparently Donny’s rooting for something like “Never impeached (yet)”

Mr Mueller used his words very carefully because of his position. Considering this we know what he meant.

Barr: Just say “case closed” Mr. President. Our minions will get in goose, I mean lock step behind us.

Barr, quoting: “Not… guilty.”

Well, Trump is not guilty of some things and not not-guilty of others. There’s a lot of “not” in there, so… :)

The term numb nu*s comes to mind when talking about this president.

Whatever Trump says, bet on the opposite being true.
