[Aldo Raine]

Obstruction of justice is a crime of endeavor plus intent, not a crime of achievement and intent, or of mere achievement.

• 18 U.S. Code Chapter 73 - OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE
  • 18 U.S. Code § 1505 - Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees
    
    In this particular section of federal obstruction codes, one finds the following language "Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law under which any pending proceeding is being had before any department or agency of the United States..."
    
    That is the general tone and tenor of, AFAIK, all obstruction of justice statutes.

Because the law is as it is, whether ones successfully obstructs justice -- by a single act or by a collection/sequence/series of acts -- is legally irrelevant because prosecutors are not at trial burdened with proving that one's efforts did obstruct justice. They are not so burdened, if for no other reason, because the mere fact that one has been charged with obstruction (a charge that's difficult to prove, thus one that's not lightly brought) necessarily means that some aspect(s) of one's efforts to do something (criminal or not; e.g., having sex with Monica L. violated no federal laws) and do so undiscovered and unpunished failed.

That obstruction of justice is a crime of endeavor is why the disclosure of the fact that Trump considered firing Mueller and that only upon the WH General Counsel (not Trump's personal attorney; the distinction between the two being significant) threatening to resign if Trump sallied forth and fired Mueller. [1]


Note:

1. OT:
   Make no mistake; that WH counsel doesn't remotely strike me as a man of sterling character insofar as he's defended several ethically questionable choices Trump has made. That said, I think he knew full and well that were Trump to have fired Mueller his licence to practice law could very easily have been called into question and possibly revoked.
   
   Quite simply, an attorney cannot be knowingly complicit in or party to an illegal act. Among other common attorney behaviors, not asking an accused criminal whether they did indeed commit the crime with which they've been charged is not among the questions defense attorneys, for example, don't ask their clients. Were they to know one is guilty, and also, on one's behalf, enter a not-guilty plea, and then prevail at trial, they would then be deemed complicit in the commision of their defendant's crime. Once that happens, bye-bye bar membership.

Endeavor means action. There was no action. And it's within his powers to fire him without question!

Yes, as far as I know he can absolutely fire him. I believe Nixon did years ago when he was being investigated.

So, how did that work out for Nixon?

It didn't, and it won't work this time either. If he is indeed guilty.

[dudmuck]

OMG...a Hillary Clinton supporter claims that Trump feels he's above our laws? Because he's understandably angry at being accused of doing something that he NEVER did and that Hillary Clinton DID do?

This entire thing is becoming farce...

Please....Try to be honest, for once in your posting life.

There is NO fucking way you can know that trump is innocent of colluding with his butt-buddy, Vladimir.

You're forever engaging in wishful thinking when it comes to the Orange Butt-Plug.

Your right Comrade, which is why you Maoist were required to provide EVIDENCE, which you failed to ever do.

Now we DO have evidence, PROOF in fact, that Mafia Don Hillary colluded with the Russians. You know this, but continue to lie, because you're a fucking Communist without a shred of integrity.

{


It's important to note that the Fusion founders in their op-ed did confirm things that earlier had been reported: Namely, that the anti-Trump research was paid for by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, as first reported by the Washington Poston October 24 and subsequently confirmed by Fox News and CNN.

As the Post said, "Marc E. Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained Fusion GPS, a Washington firm, to conduct the research ... Elias and his law firm, Perkins Coie, retained the company in April 2016 on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC."

Indeed, the DNC paid for the research all the way until the very end of October, merely days before the election. Fusion GPS delivered Steele's reports and other research to Elias, for use by the Democrats.

This is important because as we're now finding out, part of the dossier was also used by the FBI to convince a FISA court to let the FBI spy on Trump campaign officials. So there's a real conflict here: A dossier paid for by one political party and its candidate being used by the government to spy on that candidate's opponent.}

Fusion GPS' 'Fake Investigation' — And Hillary Clinton's Real Russian Collusion | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD

That's some grade A collusion there, you little commie fuck.

But Grand Inquisitor Mewler-Torquemada has utterly ignored this, why? If Torquemada were investigating Russian interference with the election, then there it is, irrefutable; indict Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and the FBI love birds.

But that is not and never was his goal, he is there to "GET TRUMP" through any means possible. Like you, he doesn't give a damn about evidence or fact.

You had the entire time during the Obama to pursue the uranium one issue, but instead you decided to pursue benghazi. All the uranium one claims have be thoroughly debunked; that ship has sailed.

About the dossier: you need to address as to by russia purged spies after the release of a "fake" dossier. And why this guy?

First off Commie, the Uranium One scam occurred during the Obama regime. from 2010 to 2012. Secondly, the most corrupt administration in history actively covered the crimes up, with the complicity of the leftard press.

CNN reported on uranium one in 2010. (right from your leftard press)
Newyork times reported on it in 2015.
Breitbart in 2015.
Fox news in 2015.

But instead all your efforts were put into benghazi and emails. not a peep on uranium one, why? because there's no there there. If it were a big deal, it would have been an issue in the 2016 election.

{
One of Hillary Clinton’s wealthy pals paid $500,000 in an unsuccessful effort to fund women willing to accuse President Trump of sexual misconduct before the 2016 election, The New York Times reported Sunday.

Susie Tompkins Buell, the founder of Esprit Clothing and a major Clinton campaign donor for many years, gave the money to celebrity lawyer Lisa Bloom who was working with a number of Trump accusers at the time, according to the paper’s bombshell report.

Bloom solicited donors by saying she was working with women who might “find the courage to speak out” against Trump if the donors would provide funds for security, relocation and possibly a “safe house,” the paper reported.

Former Clinton nemesis turned Clinton operative David Brock also donated $200,000 to the effort through a nonprofit group he founded, the paper reported in an article entitled, “Partisans, Wielding Money, Begin Seeking to Exploit Harassment Claims.”}

Hillary Clinton backer paid $500G to fund women accusing Trump of sexual misconduct before Election Day, report says

Do you actually expect anyone to believe a lying piece of shit like Lisa Bloom? You don't need $750,000 to pay for "relocation," since they didn't relocate, and they don't need security.

Yeah, bribing people to give false testimony in order to corrupt a presidential election is all good and well.

SAY, did Bloom and Brock report these as CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS per the law?

‘“Attempted obstruction is obstruction even when the perpetrator backs down after failing to get his consigliere to do the deed for him,” constitutional lawyer Larry Tribe [notes]. “In addition, it’s part of a persistent pattern of obstruction. And it’s also strong evidence of consciousness of guilt.” As the Times report notes, Trump has “long demonstrated a preoccupation with those who have overseen the Russia investigation.” He threw a fit when Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the Russia probe, and he fired Comey after he failed to extract an oath of loyalty. The attempt to decapitate the probe again goes to Trump’s intent to stymie an independent investigation and his seeming cluelessness that these actions would be potentially illegal, an abuse of his power.'

Comey should have been arrested, as it turns out. Trump erred by not firing the traitor on day one.
