President Trump defended his attacks on investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election, denying that it amounts to obstruction and saying he was merely “fight[ing] back.”
“There’s been no collusion whatsoever,” Trump told reporters in an impromptu press conference on Wednesday. “There’s no obstruction whatsoever. And I’m looking forward to it.”
Trump also mocked critics who have accused him of obstructing the Russia probe by attacking the investigations and referring to them as a “witch hunt.”
“You fight back, oh, it’s obstruction,” Trump mockingly told reporters.
Trump also told reporters that he plans to speak with special counsel Robert Mueller in two to three weeks, but said his lawyers are working out the specifics. “I'm looking forward to it," Trump said about being questioned by Mueller. "I would do it under oath.”
The president has repeatedly referred to the Russia probe as a “hoax” and said in December that the investigation “makes the country look very bad.”

It is if you're a Republican.
Obstruction is against the false stories from the MSMLSD bunch.
On the other hand, wouldn’t the democrats’ blocking release of the Nunes memo meet the standard for obstruction charges?
But a Democrat can send her ex president husband to a secret meeting with the AG while being investigated, the AG can tell the FBI director what to call the investigation, and the investigators are all your supporters - and that’s ok.

I’m kind of confused here. They are going after Trump because he “might” be contributory to aiding the Russians in influencing an election to create a high crime and misdemeanor, (which didn’t happen). Yet they can ignore the fact that Hilly Clinton gave charlie access into her computer for information and it was used when they got into the DNC . And by her ignoring directives and lying about it that lead to the same possible result she would have been far more contributory to the break in than anyone. She was considered to have not done it on purpose after she had been working within the government computer system for 8 years and they are trying to get Trump who, before last year, had never worked in the computer system and had no authorization to do so not holding a CAC card.
Does anyone else see a small problem with spending millions of dollars on an investigation, and using numerous offices, for years that for Hilly was finished in about one year for the same charge and she was allowed to walk because of her stupidity? Yep, I’m confused and rightly so.

And everything about that conversation was kinda forgotten; except for them talking about their grand kids.
But it is, *IF* you are the Deep State and desperately want to maim President Trump in every way possible!
