I read the whole article. While I appreciate the point being made, the conclusion isn’t convincing. Trump is in full authority to direct the FBI to do whatever he thinks its priorities should be—without formally obstructing.

Rush has been shown using Alan Dershowitz’s defense of Trump as an example.

Like the authority to de-classify info, the President has a wide berth.

Additionally, Trump is considered INNOCENT unless proven guilty—it’ll be a REAL HIGH bar to set, even for the moronic establishment.

Just my opinion.

Trump is the only one on the planet that can’t be charged with a crime and face a federal judge. He can only be impeached by the House of Representatives and convicted by the Senate of the United State.

When it comes to Trump, he himself is one of the 3 branches of our government.

Does anyone really think the majority Republicans in the HR are going to allow a vote on impreachment over what Comey alledges?

Muller worked with Comey on his testimony = Muller will construct a case of obstruction of justice

The special prosecutor can't fish like they used to. (Dems changed that in the Bill Clinton investigation.) Special prosecutor can only investigate the open case. RUSSIA. Russia is over. Mueller needs to go.

The following shoots down the posted article quite nicely:

Comey has now openly been shown to be a liar among other things.

Alas, Nixon was not impeached so the articles were never put to a vote as to their validity.

The article was more about what Comey, Mueller and the Democrats are trying to do than whether or not they will be successful.

Was this what Comey and others are planning? Are they trying to impeach Trump?.

Is it certain that Republicans will maintain the majority in the 2018 election with this cloud hanging over the administration?

“Comey’s testimony was a very skilled lawyer”

I am not a lawyer and I could have done a better job of avoiding self immolation than Comey did yesterday. I do not think I could be as much a pusillanimous punk as Comey was if I tried.

That “war room” will always be behind private media sources because everything must be vetted. Seriously? WE are the ones making the case for more information and less government control of information.

And given the response I get when I do these speeches, EVERYONE knows as much as the Admin would say publicly at any time. People are really, really informed.

what a bunch of garbage:
“Look no farther than the one tweet that may very well lead to his impeachment.”
Oh please. Talk about grandiose speculation. And he can’t even get Comey’s memo quoted correctly.
NO WHERE did the president ask Comey to stop the investigation into Flynn.
C’mon... bush league.

Perhaps the worst written article I’ve seen this year. An illogical joke.

Since Comey admitted to leaking notes to the media, Muellar is tainted as an “Independent” Counsel based on his Friendship with Comey, who is now a subject of any investigation into “NothingGate”.

Remember you heard that term here first. ;-)
