The problem with the whole obstruction thing is it is very much about intent.
An example:
If you ARE guilty of what they were accusing Trump of, and then you fire Comey, you can be accused of abstruction of justice because your “motive” was to keep him from revealing the truth.
However, if you are completely innocent, and you fire Comey, your motive was not to keep from getting caught. So it’s not obstruction.
And, frankly, the way this is playing out, the left is attempting to turn anything trump did into obstruction, which is virtually impossible since no crime was committed. That is, there was no motivation to obstruct justice. The motivation was to end an investigation into a crime that didn’t happen. Further, he only attempted to do that. And since it wasn’t obstruction, it wasn’t even attempted obstruction.
It’s a huge nothingburger. The only fuel the left and MSM can glean from this report is that Trump seemed to tell people to not testify to things. And since there was no crime to hide, is motives were not to obstruct justice.
The whole thing with this obstruction thing is that it’s made up by the very same people that made up the Russia thing.
They lie. About everything. All the time.
How is that so hard to understand?
