Obstruction Inquiry Shows Trump’s Struggle to Keep Grip on Russia Investigation

Mycroft said:
None of that stuff...none of it...indicates obstruction of justice.

It's all a nothingburger spun out of nothing by way of spin and innuendo.

In the Lester Holt interview, President Trump confesses to obstruction of justice by declaring that the reason he fired Comey was to obstruct the Russia investigation.

His opinion that the investigation is "political" or "fabricated" is irrelevant, whether he's ultimately guilty in that investigation is also irrelevant. What we have is a slam dunk case for obstruction of justice on the information available to the public, alone. We know his intent was to obstruct the investigation. That is a crime in and of itself.

That's really one of the most striking things about it. President Trump committed this crime so brazenly in the public sphere that it fits the "big lie", people who want to support him just assume he couldn't be that incompetent and corrupt and work from there.

The problem is that the evidence is boiling over, and his incompetence has burned so many bridges that the majority of the public no longer trusts him. He can't stay in power with only the support of the 20-30% he's brainwashed.
 
Mycroft said:
Nothing "whataboutism" about it. The current investigations into the Obama DOJ and FBI, among other investigations, is a big deal that's going on right now.

Heads are going to roll because of it.

Someone climbed into the loft and hung another straw bail for you guys to grasp at, because you were about out of straws to grasp at.

There are a number of Congressional pit bulls who will be shredding that "straw" into red meat.

He insists that he was going to do it either way because the Russia investigation was "made up".

LOL! Based on the past records of those 'pitbulls', it's going to be yet another farce that blows up in their faces.

See: Benghazi, IRS targeting 'scandal', Fast & Furious, etc....

At least you admit their base is willing to accept straw as red meat. A little food coloring, a little meat-flavor, and they eat that **** up don't they? Don't choke though, this is only year 1 and the investigation is ramping up, his mental fitness is in question, there is a running request for his impeachment, and all indications are that the next election will be an anti-Republican wave.

He was going to fire Comey anyway. Keep in mind that at the beginning of that video, Trump is describing Comey as "a showboat", a "grandstander"..."the FBI is in turmoil". "I just want someone that's competent."

Your cherry-picking and spin is disingenuous.

The people who's heads are likely to roll won't take things as lightly as you do.

But, of course, your dreams about the next election...while irrelevant...do make you feel better...right?

But like all poor liars, when questioned long enough, he outright admitted that it was Trupm and Russia he wanted to stop. Clear as day. A grand jury won't be so confused as you play at being. Not that it matters until Republicans are booted from congress though...they will go down with his ship.

Oh no, the book is the current hit show. Loving it.
After that, it will probably be Mueller's slow but hard-hitting expose.
The election is a bit further down the line, potentially a mid-season finale.

Then why did he have Sessions and Rosenstein write their justifications? Because they were trying to cover up the reason for his firing: that President Trump did not like the way Comey was handling the Russia investigation.

I disagree with your interpretation. I don't think you're lying, but i urge you to pay attention and seriously consider the possibility that the president has committed a crime.

Standard procedure to have written recommendations whether the intention to fire was already there or not. Nothing sinister about that. Heck, I was involved, as a platoon sergeant, in the same kind of procedure when we got rid of a cowardly rag bag.

Of course, you disagree. You prefer your spin to his actual words.

From the article:
Mr. McGahn was unsuccessful, and the president erupted in anger in front of numerous White House officials, saying he needed his attorney general to protect him. Mr. Trump said he had expected his top law enforcement official to safeguard him the way he believed Robert F. Kennedy, as attorney general, had done for his brother John F. Kennedy and Eric H. Holder Jr. had for Barack Obama.

If Trump was so innocent, as he claimed, why did he need the AG to protect him?
 
If they get Trump on anything, it will be Obstruction of Justice. He committed that offense when he asked FBI director Comey to let the Flynn investigation 'go'. Firing Comey just puts icing on the obstruction case.
