The special counsel overseeing the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election is interviewing senior intelligence officials as part of a widening probe that now includes an examination of whether President Trump attempted to obstruct justice, officials said.

The move by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III to investigate Trump’s own conduct marks a major turning point in the nearly year-old FBI investigation, which until recently focused on Russian meddling during the presidential campaign and on whether there was any coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Investigators have also been looking for any evidence of possible financial crimes among Trump associates, officials said.

So Mueller is looking at obstruction of justice against Trump, but where’s the crime that Trump committed?

People should understand how back ass backwards this is.

-- Sickening, and just shows how disgusting the far left have become. --

All of the left, and a good part into the right aims to have Trump removed from office.

This $h!t needs to stop NOW. First off Arrest and prosecute Hillary, Huma, Lynch and all involved for all their wrong doing. Next fire the special prosecutor. It’s a rigged deck.

Impeachment would be ridiculous in this case. It's not assured that Rosenstein would follow any of the corrupted Mueller's recommendations.

Trump would never resign. Republican Constituents would flood the House leaders' offices with pitchforks. A GOP House could still censure POTUS at the very worst, for improper conduct due to inexperience, to get this BS out of the way.

Letting this fester until 2018 guarantees suicide for the GOP. No matter what, Mueller is under the stench of collusion with Comedy.

Furthermore, let us wait to see what the new FBI director does, to counterattack on Lynch, Rice, Clapper and the whole gang of idiots.

Well, maybe Pence will be better than Trump. Just kidding, but not for long if this BS charade that makes a mockery of our judicial system continues.
Will the DOJ ever go on the offense?

Perp’s adopted daughter just returned from Germany apparently. FWIW, for about the last 20 years or so I’ve thought Germany a far greater threat than Russia. And I’m not kidding.

Well, he can investigate all he wants, but if it is merely a matter of Trump saying he HOPES Comey could let the Flynn thing go, that is NOT actual obstruction of justice.

Yep. And this particular canard is to try to keep Trump from stopping the witch hunt. “See—he wanted to stop it because he was being investigated!”

Sessions should have come out fighting yesterday... he should have hit them where it hurts... call them liars and tell them to prove it or shut up! Trump came out fighting in November and has sobered up since then... has he lost his fight?

Don’t take this.. fire mueller.. and don’t look back.. Don’t be afraid of them.. and to Sessions... except for a couple of times, yesterday, you sounded like you are afraid of the dems and media. If I saw it, they saw it.. and that’s not how to stop them! Sometimes ya have to take chances .. it’s time to take a few. Fire those who are working against ya’.. don’t let them continue in their jobs. You know obama would NEVER have had anyone working for him who was investigating him and piling on every day! Come on... as long as hillary and bill.. as long as obama.. as long as comey... as long as lynch.. and several more... are free to do this... you know it’s time to get the “investigators” out of a job... FIRE them!

EVERY investigation includes an investigation of obstruction of justice: it’s inherent.

Such a stupid media creation.

Trump should operate as if the story is true for his protection. Look at the team mueller is putting together. High chance the story is true. Ari Fleischer warned him to stop talking .
