"There is no allegation in this indictment that any American citizen committed a crime," Rosenstein said at a news conference. "There is no allegation that the conspiracy altered the vote count or changed any election result."
But after he fired Comey, he became part of an obstruction investigation. Not sure why you are having a hard time grasping such a simple concept.

When you post anything from any leos saying this I will be happy to believe it.
When Rosenstein says there were no crimes committed by american citizens associated with the russian hacking and the election I dont know how much more clear he can be.
You keep saying trumps obstruction was related to the russian hacking and the election right?
Trump is in the clear as long as he keeps his yap shut and doesnt incur process crimes.
"There is no allegation in this indictment that any American citizen committed a crime," Rosenstein said at a news conference. "There is no allegation that the conspiracy altered the vote count or changed any election result."
or does that just apply to everyone EXCEPT the president?
which would be logically implied
considering that they were investigating his campaign
I didn't ask for implied nor did you. There are leo's on record stating he is NOT under investigation.
That is vastly different than "reports" from "sources" that state he is not a target. Nothing I have read will even substantiate that he is a subject. It is "implied" that since he is not the target he must be a subject.
Why must he be a subject when leo's have said he is not under investigation?
In our conversation of January 8, your office identified the following topics as areas you desired to address with the President in order to complete your investigation on the subjects of alleged collusion and obstruction of justice
Even when comey stated they had an open counter intelligence investigation open comey specifically stated it DID NOT involve trump. So yes it is unreasonable to ASSUME he is under investigation. Unless the leo's are lying, and the investigation is nothing more than politics.
I actually expected a little more from you. Facts on one side, "sources" on the other; with any other subject I would wager to know where you stood.
President Trump’s opponents have repeatedly misrepresented the crime of obstruction of justice, conflating the colloquial meaning of “obstruction” with the legal concept.
BURR: Director Comey, did the president at any time ask you to stop the FBI investigation into Russian involvement in the 2016 U.S. Elections?
COMEY: Not to my understanding, no.
BURR: Did any individual working for this administration, including the justice department, ask you to stop the Russian investigation?
COMEY: No.
RUBIO: His specific ask was you'd tell the American people what you'd told him, told the leaders of Congress, Democrats and Republicans, he was not personally under investigation?
COMEY: Yes, sir.
RUBIO: What he was asking you to do, would you have done here today?
COMEY: Correct. Yes, sir.
COLLINS: And was the president under investigation at the time of your dismissal on May 9th?
COMEY: No
BLUNT: Six weeks later were still telling the president on March the 30th that he was not personally the target of any investigation?
COMEY: Correct. On March the 30th, and I think again on April 11th, as well, I told him we're not investigating him personally. That was true.
On May 8, I learned that President Trump intended to remove Director Comey and sought my advice and input. Notwithstanding my personal affection for Director Comey, I thought it was appropriate to seek a new leader. I wrote a brief memorandum to the Attorney General summarizing my longstanding concerns about Director Comey’s public statements concerning the Secretary Clinton email investigation. I chose the issues to include in my memorandum. Before finalizing the memorandum on May 9, I asked a senior career attorney on my staff to review it. That attorney is an ethics expert who has worked in the Office of the Deputy Attorney General during multiple administrations. He was familiar with the issues. I informed the senior attorney that the President was going to remove Director Comey, that I was writing a memorandum to the Attorney General summarizing my own concerns, and that I wanted to confirm that everything in my memorandum was accurate. He concurred with the points raised in my memorandum. I also asked several other career Department attorneys to review the memorandum and provide edits. My memorandum is not a legal brief; these are not issues of law. My memorandum is not a finding of official misconduct; the Inspector General will render his judgment about that issue in due course. My memorandum is not a statement of reasons to justify a for-cause termination. My memorandum is not a survey of FBI morale or performance. My memorandum is not a press release. It is a candid internal memorandum about the FBI Director’s public statements concerning a high-profile criminal investigation. I sent my signed memorandum to the Attorney General after noon on Tuesday, May 9. I wrote it. I believe it. I stand by it.
I just gave you a quote from the letter Trump's own legal team sent. If you read it, you would see how far it actually goes.

Hey...this is one of your best threads ever,
This scenario would play out with what others are saying that the collusion is just a ruse..and that he's secretly working to bring done some "deep state".
The only thing that breaks down this theory is that with 200 people there would surely be some leaks and maybe some will do a runner.
Now why was Obama in New Zealand again? Maybe getting his NZ citizenship?

In a television interview, Judge Anthony Napolitano explained how Paul Manafort was exonerated of the same charges eight years ago by then-prosecutor Rod Rosenstein.
The Judge’s words back up President Trump’s “Witch Hunt” argument as there’s a clear bias to this entire media circus the nation has endured for months.

Federal prosecutors in New York are following a referral from special counsel Robert Mueller's office, NBC News reports.
The individuals being investigated include former lobbyist Tony Podesta, former Minnesota Republican Rep. Vin Weber and former Obama White House Counsel Greg Craig.
Obama told Kenyans last week that he was born there...that's he's one of them.

Excellent post! I didn't know that Rod Rosenstein knew in advance, and approved, of James Comey being terminated.
Thank-you!
By all means, keep pushing bizarre unfounded conspiracy theories as if they were facts, keep pushing your opinion like its a fact, and continue down this "collusion conclusion" path

In that indictment.
Big whoop. There will be more indictments and Americans will undoubtedly be mentioned and named in them.
You keep calling the show over when it's only the intermission.
That's the common mistake I see being made here.
