Discussion: After Mueller Meeting, Senate Intel Committee Won't Probe Obstruction

1 Like

Ranking Member Mark Warner (D-VA) told the network: “The criminal piece of the investigation will be handled by the special counsel, but if we find facts we can turn this over to the special counsel.”

No need for the Senate to act as long as Mueller is on the job.

In other words, Mueller is doing a criminal investigation into obstruction and the Senate committee need not bother.
If Trump were to foolishly fire Mueller et al. the Senate should immediately hire him as a special prosecutor covering both obstruction and collusion.

I didn’t realize the OOJ charge was part of the Intel committee’s bailiwick anyway, so I was more surprised that it was on their radar than that they won’t be investigating it.

I thought I read somewhere that GOP Senators coming out of closed doors meetings with Comey and/or Mueller were white as ghosts.

I mean even whiter than normal.

To quote Letterman
“Don’t try this at home folks, leave it to the professionals”
