But he is not prosecuting Trump.Mueller belongs to the ABA,So why are you citing that ABA rule?There isn't an accused until someone has been indicted, shit for brains. Apparently you belief a prosecutor is allowed to denigrate a person who isn't even under suspicion.
And how did Mueller denigrate Trump?
The prosecutor in a criminal case shall:
(f) except for statements that are necessary to inform the public of the nature and extent of the prosecutor's action and that serve a legitimate law enforcement purpose, refrain from making extrajudicial comments that have a substantial likelihood of heightening public condemnation of the accused and exercise reasonable care to prevent investigators, law enforcement personnel, employees or other persons assisting or associated with the prosecutor in a criminal case from making an extrajudicial statement that the prosecutor would be prohibited from making under Rule 3.6 or this Rule.
Rule 3.8: Special Responsibilities of a Prosecutor
His "could not exonerate" comment would qualify under this rule. I don't think you're stupid, quit acting like it.

No it wouldn't. It's a factual statement about his investigation finding. The ABA rule that's being complained about by the OP isn't about making simple factual statements. It's about adding commentary to stoke the flames.
Allowed: "The accused committed all four murders of these children, based on our evidence."
Not allowed: "These were the must terrible crimes I've ever seen! What kind of sick, deranged person does this to children!?! It shouldn't be surprising that it was this person, though. This guy is a known faggot who slept with over 100 men in the past four years. Oh, and many of them were black men. He's a sick, interracial pervert and we're going to throw the book at him!"
Actually, neither would be allowed if the person is not charged.
