The act of defending oneself against the false charge of treason, has magically become “obstruction”.

Exactly!

To hear the liberal pundits, every effort to prevent the prosecutor from proving his case is "obstruction of justice".

Wine-Banks said. “And it isn’t. Facts are a funny thing. The truth and the facts will come out, and I don’t think it’s going to show that it’s a matter of interpretation, but of guilt.”

Uh, number one: pure conjecture on your part and wishful thinking. You have not one scintilla of evidence to lead you to any path of guilt.

The lack of facts are a funny thing as well...

Obstruction of Justice by the obama administration

the whole sad (treasonous) situation has yet to ‘come to a head’

Leftists subverting the law. Well, destruction of institutions and trust ARE their goals.

Treason Twins - hillary and obama make Watergate look like a dog sh*tting in park issue in comparison.

Hillary selling her office to foreigners (Uranium One deal just for startsies) . BTW, when is HIGH TREASON punishable by death ?

It makes perfect sense, if you believe that Trump committed a crime when he won the Presidency that was meant to be Hillary's.

According to the American Left, any conservative that so much as pleads not guilty or protests their innocence is “obstructing justice.”

But I ask for the umpteenth time, how does one instruct justice in connection with an investigation that should have never happened in the first place?

Of course, this so-called Watergate prosecutor sees nothing wrong with Obama committing acts of insurrection to overthrow a presidential election.

Isn't that what they did in 1973?

Not only is there no collusion, but collusion is not a federal crime. [...and, thus, the entire appointment of the Special Counsel under the guise of this “crime” was, itself, a violation of the Special Counsel law].

As for obstruction: who, when innocent, wants to go through the proctological examination that the feds typically put people through, especially if they don’t like you? Resisting such an investigation is NOT obstruction.

You want to know what obstruction is? Smashing one’s smartphone to destroy the information contained therein is obstruction. Erasing, and then bleach-bitting one’s hard-drive AFTER A SUBPOENA TO TURN IT OVER TO THE AUTHORITIES. Things like that - destroying evidence of possible crimes you may have committed - THAT is obstruction.

Innocence of any charge is not a defense for resisting arrest.

Let's face it, we are now a police state.

But arrest without probable cause is false imprisonment.

Jill Volner and Richard Ben-Veniste probably helped cover up the glaring call-girl angle to Watergate. Curiously, Volner was a lawyer in the DOJ Organized Crime division before her Watergate gig. She had to be familiar with the likes of Joe Nesline, Phil Bailley, Heidi Rikan, Buster Riggins who were all involved in a high class escort service that apparently serviced a clientele largely involving DNC hacks.

One of Joe “The Possum” Neline’s business partners was Nathan Landow who made quite a name for himself in Maryland dem circles and also in the Vince Foster and Kathleen Willey cases.

Here is what is alleged as obstruction in the article:

1) Giuliani’s recent comments about limiting the questions Mueller’s team could ask Trump about collusion and obstruction could be a basis for [obstruction].

2) Trump alleged pressuring AG Jeff Sessions to reverse his recusal from the Russia investigation

ROFLMAO. This is all Mueller and his band of angry Democrats have after more than a year of investigation. Surely there must be more?!?!?!? /s

In all seriousness, even if what is being proposed is actionable, the unelected (hence unanswerable) Ron Rosenstool is more powerful than the President. Mueller reports to and is answerable to him. This is a Constitutional crisis, and the only prominent people I am aware of that get it are Dershowitz, diGenova and maybe Turley.

Also, there is a line of legal reasoning out there that Sessions (if he ever wakes up) may step in on any matter not related to the original investigation about alleged Russia collusion - and hence overrule Mueller and Rosestool. This may be why the scope of Mueller’s authority was later expanded and that a federal judge raised doubts about - to say that Sessions effectively recused in himself all matters related to anything that “grew out of” Day 1. If he had even 1 ball the size of a pea, he would step in ... but maybe he is afraid of the deep state machine too and their “obstruction” applies to everything.

Kafkaesque-Orwellian indeed.

“And WTF has happened to Judge Napolitano? Gowdy? Ryan long gone...”

They forgot to cover their cameras on their iphones with tape. The deep-state owns their perverted asses...

If Mueller, Comey, and all of their sycophants and hateful followers think that the rest of us are just going to sit back while they try to undo an election, they're delusional - at best. They don't get it yet, but the genie can never be put back in the bottle. Things will never return to what they were for the left. Ever.
