Special counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly on the verge of finalizing a report detailing four acts of potential obstruction by Trump.
Special counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly about to close his obstruction probe and is preparing to report on at least four “findings” on Trump’s attempts to obstruct justice.
According to NBC News, the four areas of potential obstruction include the firing of former FBI Director James Comey, Trump’s role in drafting a misleading statement about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, Trump’s role in pressuring Attorney General Jeff Sessions not to recuse himself from the Russia probe, and the dangling of pardons to grand jury witnesses.
Prior to this week, Mueller’s team was expected to finalize a report on its findings on whether Trump tried to obstruct justice in the Russia investigation in the “coming months.”
However, now that Trump is reportedly unlikely to sit down for an interview with Mueller, the timeline has sped up considerably.
Talks over a presidential interview with Mueller’s investigators reportedly broke down this week after the FBI raided the office and residences of Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen.
As a result, “Mueller’s team may be able to close the obstruction probe more quickly as they will not need to prepare for the interview or follow up on what the president says,” NBC reported.
Once Mueller prepares his report on the four potential acts of obstruction by Trump, he is expected to send a confidential report to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who is charged with overseeing the Russia probe.
It will then be up to Rosenstein whether to make the report public and send its findings to Congress.

A big nothingburger. Trump had a perfect right to fire Comey for any reason, or no reason. How many millions of taxpayer dollars were wasted on this boondoggle?
I thought the investigation was about collusion, not obstruction?
Except that Comey apparently says in his book that Trump requested that Comey investigate the dossier stories. That is, Trump asked Comey to investigate him.
neither one. It was impeachment anyway the communists Democrats could get it.
that’s it?
That’s it?
The investigation is about providing the Democrats with a reason, no matter how flimsy, to impeach the President when they reacquire control of Congress.
Investigation over nothing can’t be obstructed, can it.
When there’s nothing to obstruct?
Obstruction isn’t Russian collusion, so pardons all around for any/all of these BS charges then 7 more glorious years of Trump.
That is all laughable, and are not findings, but Mueller’s bile.
WHERE IS THE RUSSIA COLLLUSION!!!
So, Congress will have to threaten impeachment to get this report released. Right.
Spare the effort and let the NYT leak it.
FIRE Muller now...8am tomorrow! have congress defund him, screw the senate
So basically , NO COLLUSION.
Shareblue more like share BS.
Try making the case that exercising exclusive Executive power is Obstruction of Justice.
Go ahead. Make a big deal out of it.
We dare you.
Fire that asshole, bring on the “Constitutional Crisis”....
I’m not worried one bit.
Muller, the same man who gave the Russians nuke materials...
