Always has been about obstruction. They (Comey, et all) knew President Trump was vulnerable to this scheme.

We all know its coming . . . only question now is . . . how will congress react?

Damn it. Swamp spends what swamp wants. Who is Donald Trump to meddle in the revenue streams and expenditures of the swampers. They really loathe his existence.

Obama and Clinton are the overlords of obstruction of justice.

The obstruction argument is BS. Watch the Mukasey interview from yesterday.

Flashback

James Comey hoped leak would lead to special counsel on Russia

7 June 2017 . . .

"Former FBI Director James Comey testified Thursday that he orchestrated the leak of accounts of conversations with President Donald Trump because he thought it might lead to the appointment of a special prosecutor to lead the Russia investigation.

In one of the most revealing moments of the hearing, Comey said he had asked a friend at Columbia University to leak the content of one of his memos.

He said that it dawned on him that there could be corroboration of a memo that he wrote after the President tweeted that he better hope there were no White House tapes of their conversations.

"My judgment was that I needed to get that out into the public square," he said. He added he took the step "because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel."

- - - - - -

It appears Comey was lying in his timing and purpose of the leaks. Does it really matter? A Special Investigator was appointed with the sole purpose to show obstruction of justice and lay the groundwork for impeachment hearing in Congress

Note that McCarthy is oscillating between legal and political arguments. According to the legal argument he writes even with the most lurid assumptions re President Trump's actions:

Even with those assumptions, there is still no obstruction case.

But then he goes on to make political arguments, and in the end impeachment is a political, not legal, action. He comes up with a case of obstruction, but note that is nothing but a subterfuge for a political action by Trump's enemies and has no legal bearing.

Having failed at its original objective, the Mueller probe is now fishing for anything to justify it's continued existence.

Obama used a phony DNC dossier to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign and transition teams by the intelligence community. The firing of Comey was not obstruction of justice and McCabe testified before Congress that the firing had no effect on the ongoing investigation.

The unmasking of Flynn was a real crime. And so was a corrupt, politicized FBI that had protected Hillary from prosecution. Comey was guilty of obstruction of justice by making a decision not to prosecute, which was not his to make. The DOJ and the AG make that decision.

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

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.

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

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...
