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.

Since that Anthrax case he was working on remains unsolved, Mueller may as well throw that in there too... Maybe he can tag Trump or one of his associates as the Anthrax killer.

I want Congress to outlaw this witch hunt and all others.

Stop this abuse of process and waste of taxpayer money.

Each million dollars wasted on the Mueller fiasco is $1,000 from 1,000 families who really need that money.

Justice in this case means declaring Trump innocent of an obviously bogus charge.

Any refusal to do so is an obstruction of justice.

Justice requires the innocent be declared so just as much as convicting the guilty.

The dogpost concludes that Mueller’s witchhunt to prove that the Russians & Trump were in cahoots to swing the election Trump’s way has met a dead end no can do so therefore the witch will switch pitchforks to drum up obstruction of justice charges.

Mueller’s obstruction of justice has been keeping the obamas and clintons out of jail.

Was that a subliminal message? :)

Kinda like an Obama Deep State “index finger to the nose” message.

The head law enforcement person in the land cannot commit obstruction of justice performing his duties under the Constitution.

Obstruction of justice requires that an attempt is made to cover up the commission of a crime.

So not only is Mueller not investigating a crime, he is investigating to see if anyone tried to stop him from not investigating a crime.

Now Mueller is down to evaluating Trump’s attitude to determine if, in his opinion, Trump had a wrong thought.

All made possible by the snake Jeff Sessions.

The left is saying: “Never mind, this wasn’t ever about Russia, it was about obstruction of justice about something that never was.”

If there is no crime, what justice is there to obstruct?

The WaPo is now quoting a NYTimes article from last week about events that occurred over a year ago.

On can expect a ramp-up of Mueller leaks to the MSM prior to the IG report drop.

Obstruction of justice for a noncrime?

... in which the non-crime investigation was triggered by the commission of multiple crimes by the FBI.

Hopeful thinking by the pukes at the comPost.

Trump is not going anywhere, fruits. He is staying. Have a seat and get used to the idea, because it is real.

BJ Clinton and Lynch on the tarmac was just fine. It worked pretty well too.
