Robert Mueller’s obstruction of justice probe is bigger than we realized
Washington Post/ MSN ^ | May 30. 2018 | Aaron Blake

President Trump's fixation on “no collusion” has long belied this reality of the Russia investigation: The obstruction of justice half of the probe appears significantly more troublesome for him personally.

It's also likely to be much bigger than we realized.

That's the big, reinforcing takeaway from the New York Times's scoop Tuesday night that Trump asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions to un-recuse himself in the Russia probe. It's merely the latest clear example of Trump trying to control or otherwise sway the people who could be in charge of his own fate. And it underlines the fact that he had very few boundaries in doing so.

Bigger? More like grasping at straws. If this is where he’s going now then it means he’s got nothing.

Gowdy is a Liar.

4/1/2018 - Gowdy praised Mueller and, he’s glad to have him. Someone that is fair and calls balls and strikes.

Just turns out Mueller hireda complete staff of Trump Haters, and his lead Prosecutor celebrated at Hillary’s party and celebrated Sally Yates when she refused to implement Trump’s directive.

Just coinky-dinkies.

The recusal by Sessions was DEM Strategy, too.

"Gowdy said that Trump is not a target of Muellers investigation, so how does this square?"

Apparently, anybody that has ever seen Trump or spoken to him is a target.

If Trump happens to get caught in the crossfire, The operation will cease immediately, as soon as his replacement takes office.

Bu****it. WaPo nonsense. There’s 100 times as much evidence for “Russian collusion” as there is for obstruction.

They have to go with obstruction, there is nothing else. Heck there isn’t even obstruction but...well...there was no crime to begin with.

UGH, they debunked the "obstruction" stuff over a month ago, it's back? Must be a holiday weekend.

If he has the authority to fire everyone involved, and to order an investigation started or stopped, how exactly does he “obstruct justice”?

This is retarded

I guess President Trump is supposed to sit still while they find a ‘crime’ and indict the ham sandwich.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I doubt Mueller has balls to charge TRUMP with Obstruction of Justice when they can't find Russian collusion

Doubt he'll want the whole Conservative Media on his corrupt a$$
