It Is Now an Obstruction Investigation
National Review ^ | December 4, 2017 | ANDREW C. MCCARTHY

Posted on 12/04/2017 3:51:30 AM PST by saywhatagain

For all practical purposes, the collusion probe is over. While the “counterintelligence” cover will continue to be exploited so that no jurisdictional limits are placed on Special Counsel Robert Mueller, this is now an obstruction investigation

There is no obstruction. Trump has the authority and every right to fire that nutcase Comey. Comey deserves worse than just being fired.

2 of the 3 foundations or grounds of impeachment have nothing to do with legal bearing.

Conduct and integrity.

Obstruction, like using Bleach-Bit and wiping servers “with a cloth?”

Only unusual thing about this is HRC has STFU in the last week, if you’ve noticed. Must mean it’s her turn in the stocks again. And Zero is the one that won’t shut up.

Seems like something is about to break for our side, finally.

If they do this, it will be like shelling Fort Sumter.

The long term consequences are so bad they don’t even bear thinking about. Pray for sanity to return to the swamp.

How is it obstruction when the President has the constitutional right to fire him? I’m so sick of all this BS. Trump has nothing to lose by calling for an investigator of the investigators.

Conduct and integrity.

Given what's happening all over the Congress, do they really want to go there?

(Also, if C & I had been major grounds for impeachment, how did WJC ever manage to evade being sentenced?)

This is all that IDIOT Session’s fault. If he hadn’t needlessly recused himself there would be no Special Prosecutor.

“A report by the special counsel, either through the grand jury or some other vehicle, concluding (a) that the president had obstructed the FBI’s investigation of Flynn and of Trump-campaign collusion with Russia, and (b) recommending that the matter be referred to Congress for consideration of next steps, potentially including impeachment and removal.”

JUST BEFORE THE MIDTERMS

What has Mueller and his team been doing since then?

Good point! There is nothing new. But of course Feinstein had to say something given how their collusion story is about to fail.

That brings me to my own hobby-horse. Why are all the "commentators" which unfortunately includes a lot of "Freepers" and "Treepers" always reacting to all these "swampy" statements and false news? Just the last week-end we've had the Rex Tillerson removal, candidate Trump and Flynn, and now the obstruction story. Weird.

In the meantime lots of new facts about Hillary's emails etc, but of course some people don't want that to be the main topic of discussion.

Good point. Any attempt to remove Trump based on Mueller’s witch hunt will result in a huge reaction from the 63 million Trump voters. Mueller and the Dems are playing with fire. If you want to cause a constitutional crisis using trumped up charges, then you will reap the whirlwind. McCarthy left this part out of his analysis.

If the Republicans allow the taking down of Donald Trump for idiotic and mundane reasons, I swear I will never vote Republican again.

The Democrats can have this country...

It’s the Republicans that are BEHIND this seditious conspiracy.

"how did WJC ever manage to evade being sentenced?'

Simple . . . all 45 Democratic senators voted "not guilty." Takes two/thirds (67) for removal.

BTW . . . Republicans . . . Jim Jeffords, Olympia Snowe, Arlen Spector, Susan Collins and John Chafee voted not guilty.

This was the point of Sessions recusing himself in the first place. He is in cahoots with Mueller and Comey, and actively working to bring down Trump. The obstruction of justice trap is just another version of the perjury trap. The Russian collusion was just the vehicle to get the obstruction of justice charge.

As someone else pointed out, there are easily enough anti-Trump votes in the Senate to convict Trump on false charges. But there are not enough in the House to impeach him on false charges. This is why the midterms are the target.....get anti-trump republicans in the house. It is also why Trumps agenda is being postponed until he can be eliminated.

People, we are watching a slow-motion coup. Trump goes down in January of 2019.

What exactly will we do then? All this talk of CWII seems to be bullshit......Who here will fire the first shot? At whom? Under whose orders?

Our country is lost.

It has always been a witch hunt. There are no high crimes or misdemeanors. The investigation was not obstructed. It has been going on unobstructed for a year now. there was no obstruction. there was no collusion. This is a witch hunt. Democrats have dragged this country through hell for the past year because they refuse to accept the results of a legitimate election. Worse than that however, attempting to overthrow a duly elected President through legal trickery is tantamount to a coup and is clearly sedition.
