Andrea Mitchell: Trump’s Cancellation of Brennan Clearance Could be “Obstruction of Justice”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Can doing something you have the legal right to do nevertheless constitute a crime? Yes . . . according to Andrea Mitchell.

On today’s Morning Joe, just moments after acknowledging that President Trump “has the legal right” to have canceled John Brennan’s security clearance, Mitchell continued:

“Arguably, some people will say, and I’m not a lawyer, but I’m certain that Mueller is looking into this, that this could be another issue of potential obstruction of justice. Whether it is of criminal import or not, it certainly is a question.”

Grasping at straws, Andrea? You’re on the wrong coast

To the lamestream media, Trump merely breathing is obstruction of justice.

Fark ‘em!

I always hate when people including the press use the phrase “some people will say”.

I totally still have access to my former employers databases, files, properties and insider information because of my institutional knowledge. NOT

Her reporting on Trump is probably an obstruction of justice.

GMTA.

From the article:

“Question: does Mitchell owe royalty fees to Katie Couric for use of the former Today host’s patented phrase: ‘some people will say?’”

Actually, if you recollect how Sandy Berger destroyed national archive docs that would make Clinton look bad, removing the clearance of these guys probably is preventing the obstruction of justice.

Can we add “Obstruction of Justice” to the list of things the left has redefined to be completely meaningless?

* racism
* sexism
* man/woman/male/female
...
* Obstruction of Justice

Andrea Mitchell says that Trump revoking ex-government employee Brennan's security clearance could be seen as obstruction of justice?

Wow! The width and depth of the stupidity on display is breathtaking.

Time to cue the three guys laughing their asses off:

This is to be the most moronic statement of the century. While “journalists” like her are spewing propaganda, there are other citizen journalists doing real investigative work:

Don’t forget “targeted online harassment”.

She’s high-level connected. She and her ilk realize they’ve been putting nooses around their own necks, and Trump is pulling the floor out from under them. They’re freaking out.

The media is reacting the way I thought they would...with the bad actors losing their security clearances, then others in government who may be allies of those so affected can’t speak of any developments or leak info to them (for later “massaged” leakage to the media) without being accused of violating their security oaths and clearances subjecting them to legal trouble and loss of their careers. The MSM loses access to the ‘deepest” anti Trump swamp and they are left blind as to how to “attack” Trump.
