13. Then why blame Mueller?

Once again, I repeat, Mueller laid out the evidence to indict Donald Trump and the only reason that Mueller did not indict Trump was because of the DOJ memo that a sitting president cannot be indicted. Mueller indicted and got convictions of plenty of Trump's pals while Bill Barr was AG; Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, George Popadopoulas, Michael Flynn, Michael Cohen, Roger Stone, Sam Patten, Richard Pinedo.

Once Trump left office Merrick Garland was free to indict Trump based on the evidence provided by Robert Mueller.
