Our Intelligence agencies were investigating Trump's secret dealings with known clandestine operatives of Russian intelligence services long before 2016...

Trump was colluding with Russia to build Trump Tower Moscow right up to election day in 2016...

Our Intelligence agencies were doing their jobs...

Trump colluded with the Russians, lying about it.

Trump attempted to bribe Putin with a penthouse.

Considering that, the Trump Russia Probe was not only justified and legit it was ongoing before 2016.

MUELLER: 'If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so'

It is insane that we have to go through these things endlessly with these people. 

America is truly fucked.

But yet they didn't have enough confidence to say he did commit a crime either. Checkmate.

He was, of course, referring to possible obstruction charges. It has nothing to do with Trump and  Russia.

It's always hilarious to see you and yours breaking your arms patting yourselves on the back even when your comment fails miserably.

Some of the obstruction charges were directly connected to Trump and Russia.

Mueller DID say:

We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime. The introduction to the volume two of our report explains that decision. It explains that under long-standing Department policy, a President cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. That is unconstitutional. Even if the charge is kept under seal and hidden from public view, that too is prohibited. The special counsel’s office is part of the Department of Justice and by regulation it was bound by that Department policy. Charging the president with a crime was, therefore, not an option we could consider.

Not a single possible incident of corruption related to any alleged underlying crime with Russia.

He was trying to end an investigation into charges of which he was innocent hat was crippling his Presidency.  Frustration with a witch hunt is typical among innocent people.

Bullshit Sean. READ the obstruction charges. 

Do you actually think that Trump believed that firing Comey and/or Mueller would 'end the investigation'?

Trump wanted to CONTROL the outcome of the investigation AND the testimony of those who he was afraid would expose his skeletons.

Unfortunately, that is EXACTLY what it means. 

Per the DOJ guidelines, they would have to impeach before they could prosecute.

The idea that Trump is "innocent" of anything is laughable.

If he wasn't trying to cover up his collusion with Russia, he was trying to cover up his tax fraud.

Ya'll have pushed that bogus Russia thing for years now.

Give it a rest already or actually PROVE something besides innuendo and allegations and unfounded, unproven crap.

You would accept no proof whatsoever.  So why try, the evidence is out there for anyone with a computer and an open, honest, mind.
