Now if you would please rise I will begin by swearing you in.

I believe that it was of paramount interest to the nation to determine whether a foreign adversary

had interfered in the presidential election.

During the course of our investigation we charged more than 30 defendants with committing federal crimes.

First our investigation found that the Russian government interfered in our election in sweeping and systematic fashion.

Second the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign

conspired with the Russian government in its election interference activities.

We decided we would not make a determination as to whether the president committed a crime.

And what about total exoneration? Did you actually totally exonerate the president?

No.

The president could be prosecuted for obstruction of justice crimes after he leaves office.

True.

The bedrock principle of our justice system is a presumption of innocence.

Everyone is entitled to it including sitting present.

Anyone else who did these things would be prosecuted for them?

No one is above the law.

I could repeat that place.

In America nobody is above the law.

No one is above the law.

So to reiterate simply trying to obstruct justice can be a crime correct?

Yes.

You would consider a billion dollar deal to build a tower in Moscow to be business dealings.
