“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.”

Too bad that report won’t go to a conservative Rosenstein replacement who might say “Thanks for the report, Robert” (as he drops it in the waste paper basket)

I would suggest that being impeached by congress on charges that would not have a chance of receiving the super majority necessary for conviction in the Senate would work as much in President Trump’s favor as it did for President Clinton.

“Potential obstruction”? Is that like almost pregnant?

Trump’s biggest mistake was not making sure Comey was gone at noon on January 20, 2017.

Dangling pardons? Pressuring Sessions not to recuse? Firing Comey? Misleading disclosures?

Wow, I didn’t expect it to be this weak. This isn’t even a slap on the wrist.

This is great news for Trump. He doesn’t even have to deny any of this - he can just shrug his shoulders and say “Oh well”.

And the American people will see this was a witch hunt and punish the democrats at the polls (since Trump is a Republican).

The RINOs who stood by and let Trump dangle should get punished at the polls too but somehow I think they’ll walk.

Mueller has nothing. Time to put him and the rest of the FBI rats nest under the microscope.

According to NBC News, the four areas of potential obstruction...

How can there be obstruction when there is no underlying crime?

...include the firing of former FBI Director James Comey,

It's not obstruction when the President executes his plenary Constitutional powers.

...Trump’s role in drafting a misleading statement about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting,

Wasn't that meeting staged by Fusion GPS to entrap Trump?

...Trump’s role in pressuring Attorney General Jeff Sessions not to recuse himself from the Russia probe,

How is it obstruction for the President to advise his subordinate? Wouldn't this be executive privilege?

...and the dangling of pardons to grand jury witnesses.

Again, this is a President considering executing his plenary power. Pardons are, by definition, overriding "justice." Did anybody call it obstruction when Bill Clinton pardoned Marc Rich, who fled the United States to avoid prosecution?

If he has actual proof of “dangling pardons” (which I seriously doubt) he might have something. The rest is a bunch of cotton candy. Meaningless fluff.
