Obstruction of justice and the long road to impeachment
Yahoo News ^ | 06/08/2017 | AFP

Washington (AFP) - Fired FBI director James Comey withheld judgment Thursday on whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice in requesting that he drop an investigation into his former national security advisor.

Instead he indicated before the Senate Intelligence Committee that it was up to a high-powered special prosecutor to determine whether the president's behavior constituted the potentially impeachable offense.

WHAT A CROCK OF PHONY NONSENSE! The only people guilty of OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE AND CONSPIRACY are LORETTA LYNCH AND JAMES COMEY...and MAYBE BILL CLINTON! That was clear from the testimony of Comey!

They’ll wish for impeachment after we’re done with them if they impeach Trump.

“Dems Shift Focus to Obstruction”

I think that’s rather silly considering it is they who have refused to accept the election results of 11/08/2016, and are currently engaged in trying to prevent Trump from carrying out his Constitutional duties.

Frankly, I’d add in the Republicans on Capital Hill as well.

None of them are mindful of the nation and that we elected Trump to implement his policies, not theirs.

They’ll at least try to keep it going until 2018.

They are the worst...making stuff up to try and take down a fairly elected President. It’s really an in your face effort...hoping for the stupidity of the American voter.

Well, considering Trump and Sessions won’t fight back...if I were in their position, I would continue also

Isn't it odd that the republicans control the House, Senate and the White House and STILL act like the party under siege?

I wonder what that is? They should be steamrollering the disarray democrat party

You are correct.

But the msm will locate that Mr. Anonymous Sources guy and all kinds of #FAKENEWS will be dished up. Out and out lies. On and on.

I’m saying that if they do, they will wish they hadn’t.

That will be a lot of last thoughts “I wish we hadn’t impeached Trump.”

isn’t it rather odd that the head of the FBI is unable to determine whether someone is obstructing or not?
