"Maddow stated, 'They found definite, absolutely conclusive evidence that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump become president, that the Trump campaign was aware of it and expected to benefit from it, and that they took steps to obstruct the investigation into it.'"
"'There were more than two dozen people who were charged with felonies. They charged the Russians, they charged the Internet Research Agency. They charged multiple figures from the Russian government and intelligence services.'"
"'Mueller basically said, You know, under DOJ rules, we don't charge sitting presidents. And if we can't charge him, then I can't really lay out the evidence against him either.'"
Rachel Maddow emphasized the clarity of the Mueller report's findings regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election. The report concluded that Russia aimed to help Donald Trump win, and the Trump campaign was aware of this interference. Additionally, the campaign took steps to obstruct the investigation. Numerous individuals, including members of the Trump campaign and Russian operatives, faced felony charges. Maddow noted that Mueller's decision not to charge a sitting president limited the ability to fully present evidence against Trump.
