The piece you replied to referred to "after he left office." I think the reason given, to hard to prove, is bogus. He lied, no question, and it was a material fact in the Jones case. The reason he wasn't charged is prosecutorial discretion. People lie ALL THE TIME in trials, and prosecutions are rare because it just isn't worth the trouble in the grand scheme of things. has nothing to do with being able to prove the charge.
The Libby and Stewart cases are aberrations from the norm.
I don't think Mueller has obstruction on his plate, anyway.
“I don’t think Mueller has obstruction on his plate, anyway.”
Please everyone, stop being naive believing somehow this will all work out! There is a reason why Mueller has hired at least 13 criminal lawyers. They will subpoena all of Trump’s tax returns, financial records, everything they can and will do everything possible to find SOMETHING. You are obviously not reading enough about this process historically. Somebody goes to jail! They have to come up with somebody to justify the investigation. This investigation must stop! Remember, the Democrats were saying, from the moment that Trump was elected that he will be impeached. They will not tolerate a Republican president.
In many of those cases, prosecutions are probably rare because — as in Clinton’s case — the case often ends up with the right verdict anyway.
