Having now carefully read the entire Obstruction volume of the Mueller Report, I do think there's a strong possibility that Trump will be indicted on some obstruction charge upon leaving office, most likely by the SDNY. I'm not making a value judgment about this, just observing

So... Barr's letter was misleading at best, right? Can you at least concede that much?

If a future democrat administration allowed such a prosecution to proceed, they would be committing political suicide.
