> His 448-page report released in April 2019 identified substantial contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia but did not allege a criminal conspiracy. Mueller laid out damaging details about Trump’s efforts to seize control of the investigation, and even shut it down, though he declined to decide whether Trump had broken the law, in part because of department policy barring the indictment of a sitting president.
It still boggles my mind that Trump was even allowed to run for president again, when he publicly and very evidently did whatever he could to try to stop the investigation of himself. In what world does it serve democracy well to let people like that even be candidates or involved in politics at all?
He bragged about trying to stop the investigation! That's why Robert Mueller was appointed the first time. He went on TV and talked about how he fired Comey for even starting the investigation into Russia.

He was at least 35, a natural born citizen of the US, had residency for at least 14 years prior to his candidacy, only served a single term prior, and was never charged and convicted with insurrection.
Of course he was allowed, he met all the constitutional criteria to serve.
I get why this got flagged and I'm kind of sad for that.
I found Mueller to be highly ethical at times and driven by irrationality (to the point of disingenuousness) at other times. There was a lot to cover about him.

What a great guy.

On the other hand, I can see myself feeling something identical were someone else in particular to die.
