“The attorney general is corrupt. The Congress is dysfunctional. What good is leaving a road map for impeachment if you know a tribal, party-before-country Republican Senate will never remove the president?” Maher said. “Bob, your trail of bread crumbs isn’t good enough. We’re not that smart anymore.”

“America is an aging shortstop. You have to hit it right at us,” he added.

Maher chastised Democrats for having “done f--- all about” Trump’s antics since he came into office because they were waiting for Mueller’s report.

“We all sat around waiting for Prosecutor Jesus to turn in his big report, and he came back with ‘ask someone else.’” Maher said. “We needed Superman and we got Clark Can’t.”

“I get it. Mueller’s a Boy Scout, a straight arrow. He played it by the book,” Maher continued. “But you may have noticed for the past three years, we’ve kind of been off-book. And greatness sometimes means not doing everything by the book.”

“All [Mueller] had to do is what people in the justice system do every day — use the law to come to justice, not be so restricted by technicalities that the bad guys win,” Maher said.

He also berated Mueller’s office for failing to obtain Trump’s tax returns so they could “follow the money.”

“Rudy Giuliani said this week there’s nothing wrong with taking information from Russians,” Maher said. “That’s where we are now. I lay that on Mueller.”

Maher said Mueller created new precedents by refusing to recommend any charges against the president, arguing that officials will now have the green light to meet with foreign governments, invite them to hack opponents and break campaign finance laws.

“That’s what law is — new precedents. It’s always evolving. You can’t indict a sitting president? It’s not in the Constitution. It’s not even a law. It’s a guideline like drinking white wine with fish or not f---ing your cousin,” Maher said.

Mueller's long-awaited 400-plus-page report, which was released in a redacted form last week, detailed extensive Russian efforts to help Trump win the 2016 election but found that no one from the Trump campaign conspired with Moscow to interfere in the 2016 presidential race against Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonDemocratic groups using Bloomberg money to launch M in Spanish language ads in Florida The Hill's Campaign Report: Presidential polls tighten weeks out from Election Day More than 50 Latino faith leaders endorse Biden MORE.
