Mueller said in the press conference:   He couldn't indict a sitting a president so he couldn't do anything.   The Office of Legal Counsel wouldn't allow him to reach a decision.   If he had confidence the president didn't commit a crime he would say so.   The joint statement correction:   Sure he can't indict a sitting president, he is to leave that to congress, whom won't be able   to do so considering no crime was done.   OLC had absolutely nothing to do with anything, he could have reached a decision and said   that the president committed a crime if that was the case, that was his job in the first place.   If he had confidence the president committed a crime he would have said so.   If I'm missing anything or if I have some details wrong please clue me in. USAMatters is right about this being very convoluted. They're playing some pathetic word play pandering to get by and its just not working.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYSi88HIbZM&feature=youtu.be&t=192
