'Mueller Will Not Indict Trump'

Mueller will not indict Trump for obstruction of justice or for any other crime.

These rules bind all Department of Justice employees, and Mueller, in the end, is a Department of Justice employee.

So the special counsel will not indict the president.... But what of the substance of the obstruction charge? Are pundits right that the case against Trump is becoming stronger-even if as a legal matter the president may not be charged?

After all their screaming a year ago about Trump-Russia collusion, it might have faded away due to utter lack of evidence but can't they still get President Trump on an obstruction charge?

Collateral cases, like those involving obstruction and perjury, are ones that involve derivative offenses, not the principal charges under investigation.

So maybe there's hope for a different indictment, since Rosenzweig notes "Several of the special counsel's prosecutorial hires specialize in money-laundering cases-an odd specialty for an election fraud/computer-hacking case." But, again, it's not happening!

Mueller will not indict the president, even for money laundering.
