You missed highlighting this in the passage you quote, just as you've self-servingly missed Mueller's obvious conclusions.

"Fourth, if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. "

I'm a grownup, so I'll translate into philspeak: we did not establish the innocence of the President.

So, claims by Individual 1 and his mouthpiece Bill Barr that the report "completely exonerates" him are nothing but baldfaced lies.

Oh, and here are some more choice passages from Mueller:

"while the OLC opinion concludes that a sitting President may not be prosecuted, it recognizes that a criminal investigation during the President's term is permissible.3 The OLC opinion also recognizes that a President does not have immunity after he leaves office."

"Given those considerations, the facts known to us, and the strong public interest in safeguarding the integrity of the criminal justice system, we conducted a thorough factual investigation in order to preserve the evidence when memories were fresh and documentary materials were available."

Tell me exactly why, other than to prosecute Individual 1 after he leaves office, would there be any need to preserve evidence.

And further tell me why Individual 1 is so obsessed with preventing Mueller, Don McGahn, et at, from testifying if Mueller's investigation "completely exonerates" him.

We both know you know the answers to the above. And we both know you will not be truthful in any answers you might try to offer....
