re: *Mueller Corrects* We did not reach a determination as to whether POTUS committed a crime

internal memo

I'm aware. However, the memo was merely a non-binding opinion, and Mueller had just as much authority to move forward with indictment process despite the memo as he did to adopt it. He had full discretion to make that call. It simply makes sense to investigate and indict where he believed crimes existed, of any existed, and let the Judiciary deal with the question of constitutionality, as it's supposed to work.

Also, Mueller hopefully understood the relevance of the situations in 73 and 00....73 you had Nixon's (head on the line) own DOJ opining that the President not be indicted, same situation in 00 with Clinton's (head on the line) own DOJ. The obvious intent of the opinion of protecting those Presidents on a partisan basis should have been clear to Mueller and persuaded him to let it be settled in the court system once and for all.

That he backed off of that option convinces me that he ultimately had no good cases against Trump to put into play. So he did the next best thing....the rest is history.
