Obstruction of justice and the long road to impeachment
Yahoo News ^ | 06/08/2017 | AFP

Washington (AFP) - Fired FBI director James Comey withheld judgment Thursday on whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice in requesting that he drop an investigation into his former national security advisor.

Instead he indicated before the Senate Intelligence Committee that it was up to a high-powered special prosecutor to determine whether the president's behavior constituted the potentially impeachable offense.

But what does the charge mean, and how might it lead to possible impeachment?

They’ll at least try to keep it going until 2018.

If President Trump delivers on jobs 2018 will see gains for the Republicans, so tough.

They think people will just smile and keep on going!

Are we just going the way of Venezuela in slow motion here with a slowly dying economy driven by big corporations that will move the cheap labor jobs elsewhere since Trump won’t let it cross the border?

isn’t it rather odd that the head of the FBI is unable to determine whether someone is obstructing or not?


You got it!

He knows it is not but he wants to keep the meme alive.

This whining pussy was FBI Director?

“Fired FBI director James Comey withheld judgment Thursday on whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice...”

Maybe I’m way out of line here, or does anyone else think that when a FBI director purposely leaks his own memos thru a 3rd party in hopes that “there’s an investigation”, our government has become a complete clusterfucq...?

I thought "Obstruction of Justice" was best exhibited by destroying subpoenaed e-mails...

-- The msm, dems, GOPe/RINOs (Opposition Party), will try to keep this one going forever. --

They'll be lucky to keep the obstruction fiction going for a month.

"The Russia thing" though, that's like a zombie. The more you kill it, the stronger it gets.

Have you noticed how many bat-stuff-crazy leftist media libtards bring up “Nixon’s impeachment” in their hate filled “I Hate Trump” rants?

The unschooled morons don’t even know that the only president impeached in the last 149 years is their own beloved Bill Clinton.

The interesting thing is the matter-of-fact approach yahoo news takes. The question for this generation: How long before the millenials reject this fiction blog? Or will they ever? If not, the republic cannot survive the next 50 years.
