Obstruction of Justice???

[dudmuck]

What I learned today is that Mueller and the dems, and the DOJ/GOP have very different definitions of the crime of "obstruction". Similarly, Mueller went outside his lane by stating that he could not Exonerate Trump. Nowhere in Law does a prosecutor "exonerate" anyone. As the name implies. they prosecute or do not prosecute since everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

Nunez was right, the hearings are simply political theater with "no there there".
The real show starts when Barr, Huber, Durham, and Horowitz issue their reports and the indictments start, that's when the dems start screaming "banana republic!!"

Completely agree with your first paragraph. As for Barr, Huber, Durham and Horowitz leading to any indictments...I'm just not feeling that's coming. I had hopes for Barr and while he is definitely a step up from Rosenstein and Session, I am incline to believe he will be doing little more than sweep and clean. I do hope I'm wrong.

So you're okay with a "double standard" in Law. Trump gets put thru the ringer with a special prosecutor, and Hillary gets "exonerated" by the FBI?

No, but I just don't see anyone involved in the illegal spying on TRUMP to be held accountable.

What illegal spying !? Trumps campaign manager is in prison . They were right to tail those felons .

What is Manafort in prison for?
Tax evasion, failure to report foreign assets, and bank fraud, those have nothing to do with Trump.
All the crimes Paul Manafort was just convicted of

Barr knows that you need a predicate to spy on a US citizen. Keep watching, you'll see it was all a setup. The spying is a political scandal.

They nailed Manafort on the easy stuff first.

Manafort was Trump's campaign manager, and inauguration manager, with deep ties to Russia.
Shared private polling data with russians.

Let's say you learn that you are being investigated by a law enforcement agency. You and/or your attorney inquire as to the reason for and scope of the investigation, only to be stonewalled by the investigator. You then ask the investigator's supervisor why you are being investigated, only to be stonewalled again. You then ask the supervisor's boss why you are being investigated, only to find that the boss has recused himself from any involvement in the investigation.

You then learn that almost everyone you have ever known is being investigated. Still unsure of what you are being investigated for, you ask friends and colleagues if they know or can find out. It finally turns out that you were being investigated for a crime you didn't commit, based on a rumor.

Have you obstructed justice?

Most Americans understand this on a fundamental level and it's why they have lost interest in the Mueller Report and the RUSSIA!! hoax, no matter how the Dems weep, cry, wail and moan about it.

Deep State doing Deep State things. IOW, did Trump probably do some shady things trying to figure out what the heck was up with the investigation? Yep. Was the investigation crooked from the beginning? Yep. So to Americans out here in Real America, the whole thing is a rotten wash. Meanwhile, we've watched the Dems DO NOTHING.

Nothing on the opioid crisis.

Nothing on jobs.

Nothing in IMMIGRATION.

Nothing on education, infrastructure, the economy. In short: NOTHING.

It's worse than a wash for them, as others have said, it's a disaster. If they don't see it soon, they will all but hand Trump 2020.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Cool story, but that's not what happened. Trump tried everything he could to end the investigation. The only reason he didn't succeed was because his own staff ignored his orders.

His staff thinks his orders are too stupid to follow.

"His own staff ignored his orders"... which means he only wanted to obstruct justice then...

 

[Mac1958]

He tried to obstruct. It didn't happen. Since he clearly has little to no understanding of or appreciation for the office of the Presidency, he tried to get people to do stupid things and they refused to.

He acted exactly how I would have expected him to act. We have a spoiled, petulant, self-centered, embarrassing 15-year old boy in the White House, and it is what it is.

Pelosi knows that impeaching him now would be a bad idea, so maybe after yesterday's weird "testimony" we can all move on now.
.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Once AGAIN......

In a Democratic country.... law enforcement investigate CRIMES not people.
There is a massive difference. In a country with individual rights, you cannot be investigates in the HOPES of finding a crime because some guy somewhere told someone who told someone else they think you did something.
Which is what happened here.

[hadit]

The democrats have lost any political capital necessary to remove Trump from office before the election. They first were going to impeach him before he took office, that evaporated. Then it was, "Tick tock, Mueller's closing in", "We got him this time", and statements of absolute certainty that Trump colluded with Russia and would be perp walked out of the White House. Then Mueller's report came out and, after a brief period of mourning, they leaped to "impeach Barr!!!!" and were absolutely certain that if only the democrats could read the entire report, they would finally get rid of Trump (Naturally, completely ignoring the reality that the report was available to anyone with the clearance to view it. They did not.). Then they started demanding that Mueller be put under oath and testify to Congress. They were really going to get Trump then (again ignoring reality that there's no way Meuller would say anything contrary to the report). At each step they lost a little more capital, as it became more apparent that it was a naked power grab and not related to any substantive reason to remove Trump from office.

Expect impeachment to go no further except in the fevered imaginations of the rabid partisans, in whose world Hillary is the true president and Trump is already in chains.

The polling data was available online, no crime. The FBI used lies to get FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign, and STILL came up empty. Comey excused Hillary's real crimes illegally.

if Russians used data obtained from Manafort and/or Gates to inform their decisions about paid advertising mentioning Trump or Clinton—decisions about the content of the ads, the timing of the ads, the intended audience of the ads, etc.—then the ads would likely meet the federal law definition of “coordinated communications.”

How were the FBI aware something was a lie if they didn’t investigate those references in the dossier.

Notwithstanding the fact many things in the dossier are true.

Do you know the difference between investigating and spying? the FBI was investigating Russian influence, which was triggered by unusual activity in that campaign, such as papadoupolus bragging to an australian diplomat.

Trump campaign knew what the FBI was up to, during the election. FBI warns Trump campaign about Russia. Spying requires your subject to be unaware of your spying.

OMG, you still cling to that dis-proven bullshit story-line???
1. The FBI swore that the dossier was verified in the FISA applications, 4x, knowing full well it was bullshit
FBI's Steele story falls apart: False intel and media contacts were flagged before FISA
FBI email chain may provide most damning evidence of FISA abuses yet
FBI Spreadsheet Showed Majority of Dossier Claims 'Were Either Wrong or Unverifiable'

2. See the spreadsheet above that the Steele Dossier was mostly Russian bullshit. Putin really got his monies worth out of that dossier, deep state coup attempts, political scandals, tying up the House and Senate for years, Trump's first two years under a cloud of suspicion, etc.

3. Do you know the difference between a setup and a coup attempt? The Obama intel agencies used foreign assets to setup that "unusual activity" including Papadope's claim. Barr, Huber, Durham, and Horowitz will get to the bottom of the illegal deep state coup attempts and indict the guilty.

the FBI did their job and flagged some info? That doesn't discredit the whole dossier.

These guys also act like the Steele information was the only reason to surveil Carter Page. Not the Trips to Moscow or the history of working as a Russian asset.
Not to mention, they didn't get a FISA warrant on him until the Trump campaign said he was publicly fired. But that fact is always conveniently left out.

Is everyone just supposed to forget that Page was subject to to FISA wattent starting in 2013...you know, YEARS before the steele dossier?

It's surprising to me that John Solomon has a job to begin with. He grudgingly admits the FBI IG found him credible, then links the entire Mueller report as a reason why Steele was inaccurate, then goes on to claim a nameless source said Steele's claims were uncorroborated even though that's directly addressed in the dossier due to every lead Steele dredged up being direct humint. What a fucking farce

John F. Solomon is an American media executive and columnist. He is currently vice president of digital video and an opinion contributor for The Hill. He was formerly employed as an executive and editor-in-chief at The Washington Times. He is primarily known for having been accused of biased reporting in favor of conservatives, and of repeatedly manufacturing faux scandals.
