Why can't the left let go of Nixon?

You don't see the relevance?

There isn't any, you are simply a typical desperate Progressive flailing about.

Read the first post again and simply add Trump's name. Then list the 10 instances of obstruction outlined by Mueller. Et voila!

They want to criminalize winning an election.

They want to check a criminal who was elected.

Obama abused the power of the Presidency and our Intelligence Agencies, hes the smooth criminal

I’d be with you on this, but, Trump has taken the previously expanded powers acquired into the office and will abuse and accrue more.
Obama took the previously expanded powers acquired into the office and abused them and accrued more.
Bush II took the previously expanded powers acquired into the office and abused them and accrued more.
Clinton took the previously expanded powers acquired into the office and abused them and accrued more.
Bush I took the previously expanded powers acquired into the office and abused them and accrued more.
Reagan took the previously expanded powers acquired into the office and abused them and accrued more.
All the way back to the beginning, it is the nature of a government with no outside checks. Any chance for outside checks were destroyed with the surrender at Appomattox.

Hell, the chance for any serious checks to apply was destroyed in the Whiskey Rebellion.

I appreciate the link, it was fascinating,...

Tell us why Democrats suddenly believe obstruction rises to the level of an impeachable offense.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Q. What obstruction took place
A. Every time Trump tweeted or spoke on the issue of Russian's influence on our election, calling it a Witch Hunt and calling the MSM "fake news".

Please cite the language in the laws against the obstruction of justice that can be read to criminalize these tweets.

Prove the accusations.

Watergate Articles Of Impeachment

ARTICLE 1

"In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice, in that:

"On June 17, 1972, and prior thereto, agents of the Committee for the Re-election of the President committed unlawful entry of the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in Washington, District of Columbia, for the purpose of securing political intelligence. Subsequent thereto, Richard M. Nixon, using the powers of his high office, engaged personally and through his close subordinates and agents, in a course of conduct or plan designed to delay, impede, and obstruct the investigation of such illegal entry; to cover up, conceal and protect those responsible; and to conceal the existence and scope of other unlawful covert"

Total waste of bandwidth.

You are feebly trying to compare apples with artichokes. With Watergate, there was an admitted underlying felony, a burglary. That was followed by a massive proven coverup. There were also secret recordings. NONE of that exists today.

Pathetically, Progressives want a coup. They want to impeach a duly elected president for no reason other than they lost and President Trump is doing a great job. More importantly, the investigations they started against the President, are backfiring and are now hot on their trail.

With the 2016 election, there was an admitted underlying felony, interference in the election by Russia. Several Russians have been indicted.

Trump attempted to obstruct Mueller's investigation into those crimes because he cannot handle the truth that he would not be president today were it not for the help he got from Russia.

It's funny that Comrade Donald's rubes claim, falsely, that Obama did nothing to stop Russian interference, isn't it. Considering Trump denied and denied and denied it was occurring, and then spent a lot of energy trying to obstruct the investigation into that interference, and even now his subordinates are forced to work around him to stop continued efforts by Russia to interfere in the 2018 and 2020 elections.

It is simply amazing how many of his own flaws, faults, and crimes that Trump projects onto others.

TDS has clearly eaten away what little bit of brain you may have had at one time. How do you cope with all that messy drool. Every time your masters ring the bell, you drool.

 

[Markle]

For both former President Nixon and Clinton, there were underlying felonies committed by the President. Not so with President Donald J. Trump.

Cute try though.

Even if true, there's no need to be an "underlying crime" to obstruct justice. There may be a crime, there might not be enough evidence to prove so beyond a reasonable doubt..

What obstruction took place? Obstruction, not a discussion about firing someone who never gets fired or a discussion that you prefer someone did not testify, but they did testify. Or they withheld papers when the Trump administration turned over 1.4 million documents, the most of any administration.

I hope they keep on fiddling with this issue. They'll accomplish nothing and will have nothing to show in November 2020.

Q. What obstruction took place

A. Every time Trump tweeted or spoke on the issue of Russian's influence on our election, calling it a Witch Hunt and calling the MSM "fake news". Promising to release his tax records and never releasing them, and calling his attorney a "rat". Just a summary of things you know and will refuse to acknowledge. Consciousness of Guilt is so obvious only a biased hack refuses to recognize.

So calling names, now in your mind, constitutes a felony crime. Who knew that now freedom of speech is banned for Republicans?

Statement: "So calling names, now in your mind, constitutes a felony crime"

Response: Don't put words in my comment. Your effort to do so is dishonest and despicable.

The irony in your post is the FACT that those supporters of Trump, Trump's press secretaries and Trump himself have made it a strategy to smear The Media and opponents of Trumpism (infamously noted for mendacity, malfeasance, misfeasance and nonfeasance) seek to silence dissent.

Unless President Trump has committed a felony by calling names, what has he done wrong?

For there to be obstruction it helps to have an actual crime to hide instead of manufacturing a crime and then seeing if you can trip him up lying or obstructing justice.

Sure. Just ask Flynn!

He's going to prison.

No, hes not

Off topic, lacking evidence and typical of CF, an idiot-gram.

Tick Tock

 

[Gornoodle]

They want to criminalize winning an election.

Trump is actually pretty ignorant. Who wants to criminalize winning? Trump was found to have about 10 incidents of obstruction. He is a weasel and a crook who does not know what he is doing. He proudly broke the law over and over. Now in office, he has not changed.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Trump was found to have about 10 incidents of obstruction.

You mean Mueller reported on 10 incidents - at least one of which includes his Twitter posts - that might be considered obstruction, but there isn't enough evidence to support a criminal charge to that effect.

No one can cite for me language in the laws against obstruction that allow for the criminalization of Twitter posts.

Keeping Hillary's warmongering ass out of the White House is still not obstruction of justice

I can!

Obstruction of justice is defined by federal statute as any "interference with the orderly administration of law and justice" and governed by 18 U.S.C. §§ 1501-1521. ... Obstruction of criminal investigations (18 U.S.C. § 1510)

 

[JoeMoma]

Impeachment is a political - not legal - process.

A president can be removed from office via the impeachment process absent alleged criminal wrongdoing.

The people have the authority to determine whether a president has abused his power and obstructed justice, and remove him from office.

Trump has clearly done both.

If its so clear, then the impeachment proceedings should begin. Do it! What's the hold up!!!!!!

So in your mind, free speech is the same as doing the deed.

It is nearly impossible for me to comprehend the complete, utter panic of the far left Progressives. Just stunning.

And that’s why Mueller chose not to seek charges. The nonsense did not rise to a level sufficient to present to a grand jury. Only hyperpartisan knotheads see tweets as something prosecutable.
