Here we go again.

Democrats and the NYT conspire to create another charge of obstruction.

[Maudeen]

These Democrats are sooooooooooooooo jealous of our President. Jealousy can be an obsessive ugly thing. We are witnessing it.

[Jim from C-Town]

That is not obstruction. It is called MANAGEMENT. Executives do it all the time.

[windsorknot]

Oh, no! Not another “bombshell “.

Yawn.

3.....2.....1......oops, we got it wrong. Sorry.

[monkeyshine]

Bombshell? Obstruction? It's nonsense again, all revealed in one paragraph:

The Times reported..that the president asked then-acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker late last year to put U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman in charge of the investigation into...Michael Cohen. Cohen pleaded guilty last year to bank fraud, tax fraud and making payments...

IOW, even if this were true, it took place after Cohen was busted. Whitaker was appointed in mid November. Cohen pleaded guilty last August!

I think DJT is ringing Pavlov’s ’ bell again. It really works, all this time I just chocked it up as a theory. 😂

[JoSixChip]

given everything we’ve seen, I don’t think it takes a leap of faith to believe that he would’ve done this to further his own interests

Wow, implying that we should just assume Trump is guilty. What I've seen is total conspiracy and corruption in the alphabet agencies and the dem and repub parties.

[Equine1952]

But they are just worried about us dumbass deplorables don’t ya know /s

[FlingWingFlyer]

Bombshells. Is that what the ‘RATS are calling Cheech and Chong “bombers” these days?

[Zack Attack]

MSMedia: We need to quit jumping the gun on these stories. It keeps biting us in the...NY Times, obstruction, report...PANT...PANT...PANT

[Newtoidaho]

It’s funny to watch a dying corrupt entity’s last gasps of attempting to remain relevant. Die already, NY slimes.

[boatbums]

McCabe, who has been making the rounds on the cable news shows to promote his new book, has publicly claimed in recent days that Rosenstein met with other top officials to discuss invoking the 25th Amendment after the president fired Comey.

But it was the formal written recommendation of Rosenstein and the screams of practically every single Liberal Democrat - especially Hilliary - that Trump HAD TO fire Comey! How soon they forget! But we won't...

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

They want to derail any questioning of McCabe, Comey, the Ohrs, Weissman, Strzok-Page, etc. PERIOD.

Lots of unknown Democrats trying to make a name for themselves. I’m surprised they haven’t come out in defense of Jussie Smollet. That would be just up their alley (full of rats).

[marajade]

grasping at straws

Easy fix: beat him in 2020

[Williams]

This story was created to cover up the coup news. I can’t see how the story equals obstruction of justice or attempted obstruction. The unethical thing here was allowing anti Trump staffers to go after Cohen.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Calling BS on BS is... de rigueur. To do otherwise is an admission of guilt.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Where in the heck is the 1st Amendment with these pos’s
