Giuliani also noted the presumption of innocence until guilt is proven. This is something which President Trump wasn’t granted, especially in the court of public opinion. Even to this day, many Democrats still continue to assert that the president colluded with the Russian government.
In Giuliani’s own words:
“When I conclude as a prosecutor and I’m not confident that a person committed a crime, that’s called exoneration. The person is innocent until proven guilty. That’s not a slogan; it’s not a joke, it’s a basic fundamental of our Constitution, of the Magna Carta, of elemental fairness.”
Interpretations of Mueller’s Remarks
The remarks which Mueller delivered earlier this week have prompted multiple reactions. Americans on different sides of the aisle furthermore maintain complex interpretations. Democrats overwhelmingly believe that since Mueller could not charge Trump with a crime, they must proceed with impeachment.
However, conservatives have noted Mueller’s admission that his team couldn’t charge the president with a crime. In many regards, this reverts back to ‘innocent until proven guilty.’
