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.

So the Wasington Post admits there was no collusion and, since treasonous reporters like Aaron Blake have absolutely no shame, they change the topic to confuse the public. The next special counsel should investigate the relationship between the intelligence community and the media so that those involved in domestic propaganda campaigns against the American people can be charged and prosecuted.

They’re attempting to criminalize any attempt by Trump to defend himself or express innocence to the charges. He keeps thwarting their efforts to railroad him, so that’s obstruction.

He can’t indict a sitting president. He won’t prosecute the other indictments because he knows what will happen during the discovery phase by the defense once he has to turn over all evidence, the Dems will be exposed!

All he will EVER do is get to write a report, that’s it. These liberal “news” companies need to keep their customers coming back though, keep them believing that PDJT is about to be “taken down” lol. They fall for it too!!!

“Robert Mueller’s obstruction of justice probe is bigger than we realized”

The Washington Post’s list of traitors is bigger than we realized.

Folks, we need to be calling our Congressmen every week until they put a stop to this witchhunt. Floods of calls until Congress gets off top dead center and demands the report, the unredacted texts that Nunes wants, the VA gets our vets the care they need and the federal judges Trump has nominated gets fast tracked to approval. We can help get that swamp drained if we stay on the phone to those fools. Come November we need to replace every one up for election who doesn’t cooperate! It’s time for US to become activists!

LOL! And Trump had every reason to DEMAND Session un-recuse himself, and even fire him for refusing.

The thing is, I think Guiliani was pointing out obstruction meaning the Mueller team and the Fake News takes it as pointing to Trump.

Magoo, and his elf army, have made DJTs first 18 months hell on earth.

Partner, this is a true statement and it is very sad indeed.

Where in the world is Paul Ryno and Mitch McConJob who will not lift a finger to help our POTUS.

President Trump will have to fire a lot of folks in the Justice Department like Rod Rosenstein, Jeff Sessions, Mueller, and the Current FBI Chief. They are all one big joke on the American public.

This is probably the main reason that a lot of Americans have lost all faith in our Liberal Left Winged Fake News MSM. They truly are a bunch of Giant Sixth Grade Brain Journalists.

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

EXACTLY! They can impeach him for a bad hair do, but not for doing his Constitutional duties. WP is just fanning the flames of a dying ember... A pox upon these lunatic traitors! They seem desperate to start a civil war... and where will the WP & NYT be if that happens?

And of course, obstruction of justice - justice for what? No crime has ever been identified.

My wife offers these reasons as to why the NYT/WP, etc. keep having “expose’s” that are basically coverup and diversion pieces of disinformation and misdirection.

1. To keep Sessions out of the picture, ie. to keep him recused so that the investigation is never under his control as AG

2. To keep the investigation going to hurt Trump and the Republicans in the Fall elections

3. To keep the theme of “Russian Collusion” on the front pages of the newspapers and on TV everyday.

4. I add: “To keep Congress from holding deep, penetrating hearings into the Hillary Clinton Email/Server security scandals (including the destruction of government documents); to divert attention from any real Russian attempt to put the “Dossier” blame on Trump and establish a fake Russia Collusion via the “Three Russians Fingers” (i.e. Russian operatives who Steele replied upon for evidence that Trump was “colluding” with the Russians against Hillary).

5. To divert Congress from investigation severe security lapses in protocol, operations, and lying to Congress by Brenner, Clapper, Comey and others (as well as those who should be investigated by Committee investigators before appearing in hearings).

It’s a bit different when you are talking about the CHIEF executive though. He is, for all intents and purposes, the federal law enforcement apparatus personified. All of their power flows down from him.

It’s possible to argue that one of his subordinates might be obstructing an investigation by one of his other subordinates, but it is not really so feasible to suggest that he himself can obstruct the investigation of a subordinate, since any investigation they are undertaking is ultimately under his authority.
