Is this how it works? Isn't it the other way around? You look for evidence that a crime was committed, and if you don't find it you say "we didn't find any." You don't look for evidence that it wasn't and then say, "we couldn't find evidence of innocence." https://t.co/nkMeI2O2BA

Prosecutors don’t exonerate. They charge or not. They don’t smear people they can’t charge. And when you do so, that’s improper.
Via Twitchy:
Earlier today, Robert Mueller delivered his first public statement on his investigation into Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia. It’s unlikely to change many people’s minds … Trump’s supporters are still standing by him and his detractors are still calling for his head on a pike. In other words, we can expect more of the same through the 2020 election season.
It does seem fair to ask, though, what exactly Mueller was thinking when he said this.
He appears to have this a little backwards, no?
