@Saltponds239 I'm quite capable of reading for myself... are you?
NADLER:
Thank you. Thank you. We will now proceed, under the five-minute rule, with questions. I will begin by recognizing myself for five minutes. Director Mueller, the president has repeatedly claimed that your report found there was no obstruction and that it completely and totally exonerated him, but that is not what your report said, is it?
MUELLER:
Correct. That is not what the report said.
NADLER:
Now, reading from page 2 of Volume 2 of your report that's on the screen, you wrote, quote, "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. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, however, we are unable to reach that judgment," close quote. Now does that say there was no obstruction?
MUELLER:
No.
NADLER:
In fact, you were actually unable to conclude the president did not commit obstruction of justice, is that correct?
MUELLER:
Well, we at the outset determined that we -- when it came to the president's culpability, we needed to -- we needed -- we needed to go forward only after taking into account the OLC opinion that indicated that a president -- sitting president cannot be indicted.
NADLER:
So the report did not conclude that he did not commit obstruction of justice, is that correct?
MUELLER:
That is correct.

Mueller was unable to reach a determination... becuase it's not under his purview becuase of DOJ rules..
