370 former federal prosecutors say Trump would have been charged with obstruction were he not president – The Boston Globe

The former Justice Department prosecutors say special counsel Robert Mueller’s report ‘‘describes several acts that satisfy all of the elements for an obstruction charge.’’ However, a Justice Department legal opinion says sitting presidents cannot be indicted.

Mueller did not reach a conclusion on whether Trump criminally obstructed justice. Attorney General William Barr and Deputy Attorney Rod Rosenstein concluded Mueller’s evidence was insufficient for an obstruction charge.
