Trump-ah-pump! Fake news and more!What a day it has been on Wall Street (DJI)! The markets moved north on Mr Trump waxing lyrical that he's off the hook - yet again.
What the Mueller report actually said at p182, was that, " The evidence we obtained about the President's actions and intent presents difficult issues that would need to be resolved if we were making a traditional prosecutorial judgment. At the same time , 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, we are unable to reach that judgment. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him ."
In simpler language, the Mueller Inquiry was not tasked with prosecuting the President. It was outside of their powers. Importantly they term their conclusions (which are not definitive) in double negatives. I say that this is an invitation to Congress (the legislature in America) to investigate further. The report did NOT exonerate Mr Trump! That is as clear as daylight! But fake news and fake assertions drives markets! The evidence for that is right there - before your eyes - on the chart.
