This is even worse than I would have expected from a redacted report.
And while I thoroughly disdained the apotheosis of Mueller, I have to admit: he knew what he was up against and managed to keep it all together, namely including a basic road map of what Congress should do. If he declined to prosecute because of a DOJ guideline, it obstruction was in plain view to render that his decision unnecessary
Good for him.
Maybe I’m looking through rose-colored glasses on a rainy spring morning, but I feel an impeachment proceeding in the offing. Nancy was simply playing the cards she had - and now a new hand has been dealt.
Because your election IS illegitimate, you corrupt, adulterous, thieving, traitorous, popular-vote losing, tax-defrauding, child-peeping, criminal creep.
Obstruction of Justice 101 at Episode1!
Absence Trump interview with Mueller, Trump has already said his intent
= “This Russian thing” was what Trump was thinking when he fired Comey
Just because it was admitted on TV does NOT mean that Obstruction of Justice Intent was not established!
And just because acts to obstruct justice was covertly done does not mean to say it is not obstruction of justice!
No, it’s not just you. I’m about as negative as person as one gets (ask my various psychiatrists) and I just cannot shake this good feeling that finally the beginning of the end has arrived.
I hate to burst your bubble, but this is probably just the beginning of the middle.
The full report isn’t available to anyone yet. We should assume the parts Barr withheld are even more damning.
If and when the House begins talking seriously about impeachment, that’s the end of the middle.
More likely is that the report will trigger a new phase of House-led investigations – the first serious, good-faith subpoena-backed attempts to make sense of Trump’s bad deeds that aren’t hobbled from the get-go by a convenient “guideline,” and which aren’t proscribed by the requirements of criminal law. If this is what happens, it’s the “middle.”
Not to mention that the House is currently awaiting production on a lot of subpoenas, several of which are likely to turn into vicious knife-fights in the courts.
I don’t have any special expertise, but I would be very surprised to see any of this have a concrete impact on Trump until the last months of 2019. Most of Trump’s misrule depends only on the Executive and the GOP-controlled Senate, and those institutions are so packed with cynical traitors that they’ll ignore anything short of massive marches and strikes directly in their faces.
the report concludes there WAS obstruction, but charges have to be brought by the house of rep…article is wrong
