The Lesson of Mueller: An innocent man's defense can look like a guilty man's obstruction

Awesome video! A little long but weak worth the time!

Thank you!

Mueller should be exiled for putting in a report information that is nothing but innuendo and opinion. He cannot point to “a guilty mind”. I’d like to see something like happened at the end of the movie Absence of Malice. Ok Mr. Muleass, you think you have a case? Make it now! Watch him flounder around trying to reach for that guilty mind. Trying to make someone saying I did nothing wrong sound like obstruction. Try to justify having only a bunch of left wing attorneys putting together his investigation. Simply trying to explain how someone that did nothing wrong could be charged with obstruction the very investigation that would show that. At the end of the day, he would be at the same point: I hired you and I can fire you...you got 30 days (and 29 are gone).

The press did not report the story, they prosecuted the story.

I’m seeing a lot about statements made to the press. Frankly - and I’m no lawyer - but I don’t see how any statement made to the press can ever be called obstruction of justice.

A hypothetical: Defendant is arrested and charged with drug smuggling. Defendant is interviewed on TV and says, "I'm innocent, and if any dirty rat tells any lies to the prosecutor, he should remember that I can find out where his kids go to school and that there are a lot of hit-and-run accidents near schools these days."

Is that obstruction?

According to the Democratic Media Complex if you're innocent and you're angry at being accused and investigated for a crime you didn't commit you're not supposed to express your anger and frustration or offer a defense.

Like in the recent supreme court justice hearing.

Telling your advisors what you want them to do in the heat of the moment, but listening to and following their advice against doing it is not obstruction. Wanting to do something and actually doing it are two different things. If wishes were ponies, we’d all be riding.

I wonder if the WH staffers who were abused by Wiessemann would be willing to be interviewed on Fox or OANN to describe what they went through when interrogated by Wiessman et al. I understand it was horrible. In fact, I think Rudy described Wiessman’s tactics were terrorizing.

That’s because they and their MSM colleagues (as Barr pointed out) were on a 24/7 attack/propaganda mission that also entails illegal leaks...they ignore that and I think Barr may help it bite a few Dem asses. The only thing he obstructed was their illegal coup attempt...as Barr pointed out, they did not claim any Executive Privilege, did not ask for any of the redactions, and did not withhold any requested documents....hard to claim obstruction with that ....
