Obstruction of justice and the long road to impeachment
Yahoo News ^ | 06/08/2017 | AFP

Posted on 06/08/2017 5:39:58 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Washington (AFP) - Fired FBI director James Comey withheld judgment Thursday on whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice in requesting that he drop an investigation into his former national security advisor.

Instead he indicated before the Senate Intelligence Committee that it was up to a high-powered special prosecutor to determine whether the president's behavior constituted the potentially impeachable offense.

But what does the charge mean, and how might it lead to possible impeachment?

Dems, MSM, never trumped, etc. ESAD and GTH. I cannot emphasize those sentiments enough.

WE won, damn it. Impeachment is NOT the answer when the other person/party wins an election fairly.

Forgot to add Comey to that list. He is a special sort of evil.

BS. Trump never did any such thing. False narrative

Doesn't matter they are all saying he did and even Judge Napolitano insisted Comey was the winner and claimed there is more than a little there there. He also said that Mueller will have him under oath explaining himself very soon.

Just like global warming, evidence matters not one whit, because no matter if it gets hot or cold it is caused by global warming and we are causing it. Comey answered every question so that you could conclude that he said no but he really meant yes. If you want proof of that then watch some evening news.

Absolutely nothing.

They apparently decided there is no evidence for any Russian collusion so they decided that Trump obstructed an investigation for which there is no evidence.

It makes my head spin to watch the news-any news-these days.

The Republicans don’t control the White House. Trump may have won the GOP nomination in 2016 but he was basically an independent candidate.

>>Isn’t it odd that the republicans control the House, Senate and the White House and STILL act like the party under siege?

Quite odd....like they are colluding with their fellow Globalist traitors across the aisle to bring down the Nationalist president.

Oh right. THEY ARE!

The one lasting impression I get from reading the transcript of Comey’s testimony is that from Day One, this guy was completely ill-equipped to work for someone like Donald Trump.

Is there any doubt that these anti-American globalists and assorted leftists will stop at nothing to overturn the election they dislike? They have unbelievable levels of contempt for the American people anyway, so why should elections matter, especially when the peasants vote in the “wrong” way?

It was inevitable they would invent some ridiculous, absurdist, manipulated accuse to try to bring down the president. This is just their coup attempt du jour. If it doesn’t work, they will keep trying new ones.

It is remarkable watching our Cultural Marxist propaganda “press” and realizing just how far down the Orwellian rabbit hole we’ve already gone.

How long before the millenials reject this fiction blog? Or will they ever?

I'm encouraged by what I see on YouTube. There's a kid named Tim Pool who apparently leaned left once upon a time but has been red pilled. Steven Crowder has almost 800 thousand subscribers and I assume most of them are under the age of 30. Paul Joseph Watson is even more popular. Faith Goldy, Lauren Southern and other young YouTubers have a large following as well. Even Dave Ruben, who was once a Young Turk, has seen the light.

Agree.

Senator JP Jones:

“Director Comey, when you met with President Trump were you at any time wearing your PussyHat?”

Former President Bill Clinton’s surprise meeting with Lynch at an Arizona airport also prompted him to go public with results of the FBI probe into the email server. “That was the thing that capped it for me, that I had to do something separately to protect the credibility of the investigation, which meant both the FBI and the Justice Department,” Comey said...here's the real obstruction of justice - it was up to Comey to investigate and to Lynch to decide whether to prosecute or not in the Hillary email scandal - by meeting with Clinton and then deferring to Comey in the decision not to prosecute, Lynch violated the established route to justice, and should be prosecuted herself....

And they’ve been on this since before Trump was sworn into office. First the violence and riots, then the recounts then the Russian hack BS. That caught traction and here we are trying to remove a man from office before he’s been in office for five months. NOT EVEN FIVE MONTHS!!! And look.

It’s astounding.

They know there isn’t going to be impeachment. This is about obstructing Trump’s agenda and trying to force this into the 2018 midterms. It’s about de-legitimatizing his presidency.
