Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said she believes President Trump 'would certainly have been indicted' in the Mueller probe if not for a long-standing Department of Justice rule that shields a sitting president from indictments
"I think there's enough there that any other person who had engaged in those acts would certainly have been indicted," Clinton said at the Time 100 summit Tuesday."But because of the rule in the Justice Department that you can't indict a sitting president, the whole matter of obstruction was very directly sent to the Congress.
You may look at it and conclude that it doesn't rise to an impeachable offense -- that's your job -- but I'm giving this to you.'"Mueller's team investigated several specific instances of potential obstruction of justice in the report. Prosecutors ultimately did not make a decision on whether the president had obstructed justice, but did not exonerate him of criminal conduct.
