Trump just snapped at reporters for asking about Mueller’s comments about criminally charging him

Robert Mueller inflicted serious damage to the Trump administration during his testimony earlier today before the House Judiciary Committee. The former Special Counsel shredded once and for all the president’s claim that the Mueller Report exonerated him of any obstruction of justice.

Instead, Mueller made it abundantly clear that the report did not exonerate Trump.  He explained that even if he had wanted to bring charges against Trump for any of the ten occasions on which it appears Trumped sought to obstruct justice, the Special Counsel would not have been able to do so because existing Office of Legal Counsel protocol dictates that a sitting president can not be indicted.

The real bombshell came when Mueller said that he believes a president can be criminally charged once he leaves office, effectively opening up the possibility that Donald Trump may yet face justice for obstructing justice.
