No need to report on obstruction until the rest of the investigation is complete. Plus, you know Donny Dotard will just continue to add new facts to the obstruction case.
Shorter Mueller…
“I have the easy stuff to prove, Clear open Obstruction, ready. Dont f*ck with me while I get folks on collusion too”
Yep Mueller has all he needs on the obstruction that has taken place, so far…
The reason this is almost done is because Trump’s actions were clear obstruction of justice to anyone with even a scintilla of objectivity.
That said, please do issue the report all at once, as the Russian money laundering and influence and election interference, and subsequent obstruction of justice, all grew out of the same evil plot to destroy America.
Aided and abetted, of course, by the current President of the United States.
He’s only halfway through peeling the onion dome…
o/t but this bomb dropped over at the NYT…
For all the ill he has done, this is the stupidist story - I am starting to think that this story may yet eventually seep into the Trumpioid bubble and start cracking some of the delusions that Trump spins as reality. Once a chuck of his base slips away - those numbers are going to tank to Ws levels towards the end of his term - polling in the 20s.
Wonder how the report will be released. Can’t imagine it will go public until the GOP get a chance to weigh in.
Seems to me that if he is going to rock the entire country, he may be taking a careful, slow path to doing so. The weight on his shoulders has to be enormous. In all respects at this moment, we are all depending on him to confirm technically what our eyes and ears are telling minute by minute. We can survive a little longer for him to make it right.
Tighten the screws, Bob. Tighten the screws.
Read an article at CNN where they painted a good argument that Trump’s team is cornered with all the different options that can be played out. You’re right, this could be his krypton.
Bloomberg News reported, citing unnamed current and former U.S. officials, that Mueller could finish the obstruction portion of the investigation once he has interviewed key officials like the President and his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.
Given how little has leaked in this investigation - perhaps a strategy to make Donnie and Jr more willing to testify sooner rather than later given that we know how Donnie wants it to be over (as his Lawyers kept telling him it would wrap by Thanksgiving, by Christmas, by the End of the year, etc.)?
Perhaps he’ll call Fox and Friends for legal advice.
Summoned to the White House to discuss legislative options for how to fix the agency, Axios reports, “Trump surprised Shulkin by dialing in Fox & Friends host Pete Hegseth on speaker phone to get his opinion of the legislation.”
“Trump talks to Hegseth regularly and enjoys watching him on Fox and Friends,” according to Axios.
Not only does Trump seem to have a shadow cabinet of sorts, which he consults freely for advice, but many of those cabinet members appear to work at the chronically hateful and untrustworthy Fox News. Hegseth is just the latest reveal.
I got nuthin.
A cornered animal is a scary thing.
South Korea should be preparing, because it’s North Korea that will be hit with the ultimate distraction…
Mueller’s investigation has been astoundingly tight-lipped, to the level that folks are pleading guilty to real actual crimes and the whole world doesn’t find out until a month later… and now Bloomberg reports in with the whole enchilada, the state of the entire investigation?
Maybe this is true, maybe the obstruction investigation is nearly complete, but of that I am no more confident today than I was yesterday.
Yep. Just being reported on teevee.
“Mueller may hold off on revealing his findings on obstruction so that the results don’t prompt Trump to attempt to shut down the special counsel investigation…”
So, if Mueller reveals that Trump obstructed justice…
Then Trump will further obstruct justice…
In Mueller’s probe of Trump obstructing justice…
That Trump is trying to obstruct.
“BUT SHE HAD EMAILS!!!”
(Or something.)
I predict that, by 2019, no one outside of the KKK and Nazis will admit that they voted for him.
Just like W.
Mueller will roll out the rest of the indictments of conspiracy, campaign law violations, business illegalities, etc. first, so everyone can clearly see why there has been and continues to be such a sustained and concerted effort at cover-up and obstruction by, not only the Trump team but so many other Republicans. I think the end result of this investigation will be staggering in terms of crimes committed and people involved.
