Yes keep on whistling as you pass by the graveyard. Like it or not it is obvious that trump obstructed justice and he just laid it at the feet of Congress. Going to be very hard to ignore.

It's only obvious to those with a preconceived notion that it occured, actual proof be damned. The dems will investigate and it will likely cost them votes, but time will tell. So far, no proof of obstruction has been proven, only hunches and suspicions.

You want that because you think it will play well for Trump. Don't be so sure. Mueller clearly said Trump committed the act of obstruction of justice. The fact that he couldn't be charged is a mere technicality that the public will see through.

You must have watched a different speech than the one that actually aired.

As an aside, what is really disappointing to me is the message. If you are a successful private individual, you don't stand a chance entering the rarified air of big time politics.

There are unwritten rules, and don't anyone dare upset them.

How is the Nation going to attract great qualified talent, when entering the arena means total economic and personal destruction?

Are all successful private individuals as shady as Trump? He was well known for being shady long before this.
 
Saying you could not charge a sitting president doesn't change the facts of the situation. It IS the Bill Clinton fiasco all over again and history will repeat itself. The Dems will impeach, it won't have even a simple majority in the senate, little lone 2/3 majority. Both parties get their red meat right before the election and President Trump will be re-elected. There will most likely be enough coat tails to drop the GOP to a slim majority in the house. The status quo will continue with zero impact. However have the dems "shot their wad" meaning anything else they find will be met with an eye roll this time?

From the Times:
Mr. Trump began trying to get rid of Mr. Mueller, only to be thwarted by his staff. In instance after instance, his staff acted as a bulwark against Mr. Trump’s most destructive impulses. In June 2017, the president instructed Donald F. McGahn II, the White House counsel, to remove Mr. Mueller, but Mr. McGahn resisted. Rather than carry out the president’s order, he decided he would rather resign.
Two days later, Mr. Trump asked another trusted adviser, Corey Lewandowski, to tell Mr. Sessions to end the investigation. Mr. Lewandowski did not want to, so he punted to a colleague, Rick Dearborn. He, too, “was uncomfortable with the task and did not follow through.”

Mueller didn't get fired because Trump's staff stopped him -- not because Trump didn't want to -- or didn't direct others to do it.

Here's the crux of his 9 minute speech;

"If we had confidence the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. We did not"

Basically he said that the DOJ cannot indict a sitting president and it's up to Congress to follow through with the findings of his report regarding obstruction.

I absolute agree...So, on with the burning down of America....Right? Look, If Democrats were going to impeach, they'd be all over this NOW....Think they will be?

Exactly. It wasn't his job to charge Trump with the crime of obstruction of justice. It's Congress's job.

Now they just may do it. That has you terrified.

Why would I be scared of the Resistance going all Jim Jones? Like I've said a million times already, the sooner the better.

Mueller's bud Comey just yesterday published an oped in the WaPo saying he Comey was confident Barr's inquisition against the investigators would come out okay for the good guys. Perhaps Mueller will confirm this. After all, each Comey and Mueller is a chain of command guy who doesn't rock the boat and the Mueller appearance today at DoJ was just announced in a Department news release. Perhaps DoJ ran out ahead of the event with its release yet I can't conceive of the milquetoast Mueller throwing hand grenades at DoJ or Trump.

Jim Jones? I think you're confusing "the Resistance" (whatever that is) to Trump Fan Nation.

Glad you support the Congressional investigations into Trump. After Mueller's comments today, they will heat up and you will hear about them 24/7. Even on Fox.

Yep, do it now! It will be a epic fail cherry on top of a vomit filled bucket of fail Democrats have been tantruming over since 2016.

The ultimate goal is to get rid of Trump. The only road to doing that now is through impeachment. I don't know "for sure" it will play well for Trump. But my guess is that many are tired of this. The Mueller investigation is over. Its time to move on, or go for impeachment. I am fine with either.

Seems to me that wanting to obstruct is benign compared to an act of actual obstruction. Trump is innocent of the latter.
 
ocean515 said:
He didn't say anything that wasn't in the report. Nothing. In fact he said "the report is my testimony".

So once again, Mueller fires up the furnace with the same gas he used before.

I agree, go for Impeachment. Let's get this done immediately.

I think everyday Americans need to see exactly what the Democratic Members of the House are made of.

An advertisement with video overlays of their conduct in previous hearings, and what will no doubt be the Circus of the Century with Impeachment, will likely play well for one Political Party.

That's precisely why over 1,000 prosecutors signed a letter attesting to the fact that there was clear evidence of obstruction of justice and Republican Congressman Justin Amash even sited each and every incidence noted in the volume II of the special counsel's report as evidence of obstruction of justice. Mueller's hands were tied, Congress' hands are not.

The special counsel report volume II is the roadmap left by Mueller that will lead to Trump's impeachment for obstruction of justice. In the end, justice will prevail, the US Constitution will prevail, the rule of law will prevail and prove that NO MAN is above the law, not even Trump.

Not according to the law. An act of obstruction is the same as an attempt of obstruction.

The "investigation" is over. Get on with the impeachment and feeding the rabid on both sides, it's a toothless meaningless effort. You are not anywhere near the 67 votes in the Senate so it's irrelevant.
 
Truth will set you free.

IMPEACH AND SHOW AMERICA HOW STUPID YOU ARE DEMOCRATS.

Wow, now it's 1000? I thought it was 900.

Who cares.

I fully support the call for the Dems in the House to immediately start Impeachment proceedings.


In the mean time, since the NDP's MSM partners are running from it, I'll be keeping my eye on Barr's investigation.

Everyday Americans need to learn what the people and forces behind this game did, beginning with the first pitch.

Why are you talking to me about impeachment? i'm not a lawmaker. Email your rep and tell him or her to impeach if that's what you want.
