The article attempts to define precisely and parse microscopically what constitutes or could constitute obstruction and what doesn’t. What’s inside the line and what’s outside the line. And it’s not that easy, but Mueller is saying, “we can’t decide”. What he’s REALLY saying is, “I am extedning the fuse on this stinkbomb to keep open the option(s) for Democrats to keep this alive as long as they want.
for one example:
On one hand, obs is in some places defined as “anything that blocks or tries to block”...
But that could very well include a potential defendant or accusee simply saying “No, I didn’t do it”. But that right cannot be denied a defendant.

Mueller has his so-called “10 episodes” of potential obstruction. Half of those are just ridiculously puerile. The other half are possibly worthy of a few moments thought.
Mueller really wussed out, and despicably so, IMO, leaving this (the yes/no) obs decision) to Congress. I am no fan of Mueller, but this is really crapping on the carpet. In the first place, he originally said he’d leave the yes/no obs decision to the (incoming) AG..... before deciding to leave it to Congress. Hey, why don’t we leave it to the Crips and the Bloods, you dig? So, with a dozen and a half attorneys and 2.5 years and unlimited budget both in time and money, you can’t figure it out, so let’s leave it to the brilliant and impartial legal minds in Congress? That’s not even laughable. Maybe Maxine Waters or Hank Johnson can help you figure it out? What a POS chickens**t decision.
