Who invented the obligation/requirement to "exonerate"?

When did "exoneration" become a thing? Who declared it a requirement of the SC Investigation? Why are so many people buying into this arbitrary rulemaking? It seemed to take on a life of its own about the time the report was released. I'm disappointed that the Republicans aren't killing it and burying it forever. It's such a stupid, desperate narrative. Enough.

A couple GOP congressmen took Mueller to the shed on this yesterday.

Mueller and his Merry Band of Democrats couldn’t make the case for Obstruction so they created a brand new non-legal standard: exonerate. Low T and low information libtards think this is actually a thing.

Who?

The Left.

The side that depends on dishonesty and obfuscation to deceive and manipulate its voter base.

Exoneration in prosecutions has never existed ever in the history of our country. It seems to have been created to excuse Mueller in including part 2 of his report. Without that theory in place, there can only be part 1.

Thats how you know its a hack job. He turned jurisprudence on its head so he could publicize things he thought might hurt the POTUS.

And in doing so - to undermine a sitting president.

That’s sedition. These assholes should be charged with it. But technically they didn’t release the report. Not sure how that works.

Wow.

Robert Mueller changing the job of a prosecutor from proving someone ‘Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt’ to ‘Not being able to exonerate someone accused of a crime.’

Dangerous and ridiculous.

Leftists don't like to lose.

When they realized the verdict would be "not guilty", they couldn't accept it.

Therefore they moved the goalpost from "guilty/not guilty" to "not guilty/innocent". Of course, no one is ever declared "innocent", just "not guilty". To a liberal, this assures a victory for themselves.

It's called "New Law".

It's a new standard of criminal law invented by Der Staat to be used against political opponents of the Revolution.

Those who stand in the way of the creation of the United Socialist States of America are subject to New Law.

“Did not exonerate the President” removes the presumption of innocence. Which held President Trump to a higher standard than what is required by our judicial system.

The report basically states he did some bad shite, not necessarily broke the law and even though we could not find a crime doesn’t mean he didn’t commit one. So we cannot exonerate him.

It’s ok to say that behind closed doors when prosecutors don’t have enough evidence to file charges but for them to publicly state those concerns would lead to defamation lawsuits.

It is just not American.

I suppose I am possibly on the hook for just about every crime committed around Louisiana last night.

It actually started with Kavanaugh. "Somewhat guilty until proven really guilty - just give us a minute."

Isn’t all this what Janet Reno warned against when the CLINTON administration let the Independent Counsel statute expire and the reporting requirement amounting to a pretty big reason why?

You are correct... and this "narrative" is what happens when you're intellectually bankrupt, desperate and start pulling stuff out of your butt to try and recover...

I seem to recall Trump making claims very early on (perhaps as early as when potential content of the report was being leaked) regarding “exoneration.” I do not recall anyone mentioning that term prior to these assertions.

Thus, it would seem that Trump “made it a thing.”
