Russian conspiracy theory has as much legitimacy as the gang rape charges against Kavanaugh. None.

Hillary was the one conspiring with Russia and taking their money.
Now Democrats are colluding with China to derail trump.

Will Mueller drop some sort of BS “bombshell” right before the election for the Dims?

1. Because he didn’t obstruct justice.
2. Because he didn’t obstruct justice.
3. Because he didn’t obstruct justice.

I said it a lot more concisely than the professor.

Can I have tenure!

It’s possible he won’t do it if the Dems don’t take the House as it wouldn’t likely go anywhere. It also fits with the theory that this was all really more of a mop-up operation to protect deep state secrets. Lastly, I think he probably saw Trump defending Kavanaugh, who is actually a moderate being attacked by the same people pushing him to refer Trump for impeachment. Wishful thinking perhaps.

“Three reasons Mueller may not charge Trump with obstruction”

1. He’s not guilty of obstruction

2. Mueller has no jurisdiction over anything but collusion charges.

Don’t need number 3.

Mueller has next to nothing to present in court that Russian hacking took place at all, let alone who was involved. No on in the MSM wants to bring that up.

How bout

1. He doesn’t have evidence
2. He doesn’t have witnesses
3. And there’s more evidence Mueller is involved in conspiracy with Rosenberg in trying to overthrow the government by participating in this farce.

While hitlery and the dnc were colluding with Russia, Trump committed the unpardonable sin of colluding with Republicans to win the election. Hence the past 2 years of hate and rage by the satancrats.

How about because he cannot charge a sitting president with a crime?

Actually, he CANNOT obstruct justice. He may order an investigation to begin or end as he sees fit. He may fire the AG for any reason, or no reason at all. He may pardon anyone for a federal crime whether or not anyone is convicted or charged yet.

Someone explain to me how he can “obstruct” himself.

Astute as usual. If there was an obstruction case, Rosenstein would be recused. Since he is not...

“2. Mueller has no jurisdiction over anything but collusion charges.”

There is no law against “collusion”. Trump could meet daily with a foreigner of any nation we are not in a declared war with and discuss the best ways to defeat Hillary. Mossad and the KGB could stop by his office with dirt they have on her. But you cannot pay a foreigner for such work, for example the way Hillary channeled money to Brits, or the way Obama had Palestinian boiler rooms taking anonymous donations.

All totally legal.

What is this “collusion” you speak of? There simply is no law regarding something called collusion.
