At the very least, screwing someone else could be considered progress over your usual pastime of screwing yourself.

As far as what Mueller said:

In early May, Attorney General William Barr testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that Mueller "reiterated several times in a group meeting that he was not saying that but for the OLC opinion, he would have found obstruction."

Earlier, during the Judiciary hearing, Republican Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado also asked Mueller about charging Trump.

Mueller says a president can be charged with obstruction after leaving office

"Was there sufficient evidence to convict President Trump or anyone else with obstruction of justice?" Buck asked.

"We did not make that calculation," Mueller said, citing the OLC opinion.

Buck later asked, "Could you charge a president with a crime after he left office?"

"Yes," Mueller replied.

"You believe that he committed — you could charge the President of the United States with obstruction of justice after he left office?" Buck continued.

"Yes," Mueller answered.

What did the media think about this exchange?

"OMG Buck just walked RIGHT into it. He seriously just gave the Democrats the clip they want. He just gave Mueller a clear and concise moment to say the only reason Trump wasn't indicted is because DOJ policy prohibited it," tweeted national security lawyer Bradley Moss.

Which, of course, is bullshit. Because here we are 3 plus years later and there has been no effort to bring any criminal charges against Trump for the items reviewed by Mueller. But, you guys did get your talking point, lame is the passage of time has rendered it.
