No, it's not. His job was to investigate and then make a decision on guilt or innocence and nothing else. He was expected to make a decision and he failed in his duties when he chose not to.When Mueller sent the report to Barr, his job was over. What happened to the report after than was above his pay grade, so for him to suggest that Congress should make the decision on obstruction, was improper and perhaps cowardly.He was not a special investigator, he was a special counsel, working for the Justice Department under the supervision of the AG. He has no authority to decide what happens to his report once he turns it over to the AG.That was not within his jurisdiction, and it was improper and perhaps unethical for him to have suggested it.
Based on what? He was a special investigator, why was it NOT within his juristiction?
Mueller DIDN'T descide what happened to the report. Barr released it if you recall.
However within the report he is surely entitled to state why he felt he could not make a prosecuratorial descision and why it is up to Congress, not DOJ to ultimately hold a sitting president accountable.
Stop spinning up nonsense, It's perfectly in his perview to state a legal opinion that holding a sitting president responsible is ultimately a job of Congress. Wether of not Congress WANTS TO is a different matter.
