A former Watergate prosecutor said late Tuesday that President Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani basically "admitted" that special counsel Robert Mueller has a good case for obstruction of justice.
Assistant Watergate special prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks said on MSNBC's "The 11th Hour with Brian Williams" that Giuliani's recent comments about limiting the questions Mueller's team could ask Trump about collusion and obstruction could be a basis for that case.
"He said, 'Oh I'm fine with collusion because theres no collusion, but obstruction, thats a matter of interpretation,'" Wine-Banks said. "And it isnt. Facts are a funny thing. The truth and the facts will come out, and I dont think its going to show that its a matter of interpretation, but of guilt."

Ive never heard of this woman.
Exactly!
To hear the liberal pundits, every effort to prevent the prosecutor from proving his case is "obstruction of justice".
Wine-Banks said. “And it isnt. Facts are a funny thing. The truth and the facts will come out, and I dont think its going to show that its a matter of interpretation, but of guilt.”
Uh, number one: pure conjecture on your part and wishful thinking. You have not one scintilla of evidence to lead you to any path of guilt.
The lack of facts are a funny thing as well...
The headline is not supported by the story.
Exactly.
A proud member of the MSM-13. Taking machetes to the truth since 1996.
Obstruction of Justice by the obama administration
the whole sad (treasonous) situation has yet to ‘come to a head’
Leftists subverting the law. Well, destruction of institutions and trust ARE their goals.
Treason Twins - hillary and obama make Watergate look like a dog sh*tting in park issue in comparison.
Hillary selling her office to foreigners (Uranium One deal just for startsies) . BTW, when is HIGH TREASON punishable by death ?
It makes perfect sense, if you believe that Trump committed a crime when he won the Presidency that was meant to be Hillary's.
Obstruct wasn’t doesn’t exist. Okay.
According to the American Left, any conservative that so much as pleads not guilty or protests their innocence is obstructing justice.
But I ask for the umpteenth time, how does one instruct justice in connection with an investigation that should have never happened in the first place?
Isn't that what they did in 1973?

Not only is there no collusion, but collusion is not a federal crime. [...and, thus, the entire appointment of the Special Counsel under the guise of this “crime” was, itself, a violation of the Special Counsel law].
As for obstruction: who, when innocent, wants to go through the proctological examination that the feds typically put people through, especially if they don’t like you? Resisting such an investigation is NOT obstruction.
You want to know what obstruction is? Smashing one’s smartphone to destroy the information contained therein is obstruction. Erasing, and then bleach-bitting one’s hard-drive AFTER A SUBPOENA TO TURN IT OVER TO THE AUTHORITIES. Things like that - destroying evidence of possible crimes you may have committed - THAT is obstruction.
And WTF has happened to Judge Napolitano? Gowdy? Ryan long gone.. I had ALWAYS had faith in Jeff Sessions, going way back, now he is not only GONE, he’s REALLY GONE AWOL.
Let's face it, we are now a police state.
But arrest without probable cause is false imprisonment.
Jill Volner and Richard Ben-Veniste probably helped cover up the glaring call-girl angle to Watergate. Curiously, Volner was a lawyer in the DOJ Organized Crime division before her Watergate gig. She had to be familiar with the likes of Joe Nesline, Phil Bailley, Heidi Rikan, Buster Riggins who were all involved in a high class escort service that apparently serviced a clientele largely involving DNC hacks.
One of Joe “The Possum” Neline’s business partners was Nathan Landow who made quite a name for himself in Maryland dem circles and also in the Vince Foster and Kathleen Willey cases.
Here is what is alleged as obstruction in the article:
1) Giuliani’s recent comments about limiting the questions Mueller’s team could ask Trump about collusion and obstruction could be a basis for [obstruction].
2) Trump alleged pressuring AG Jeff Sessions to reverse his recusal from the Russia investigation
ROFLMAO. This is all Mueller and his band of angry Democrats have after more than a year of investigation. Surely there must be more?!?!?!? /s
In all seriousness, even if what is being proposed is actionable, the unelected (hence unanswerable) Ron Rosenstool is more powerful than the President. Mueller reports to and is answerable to him. This is a Constitutional crisis, and the only prominent people I am aware of that get it are Dershowitz, diGenova and maybe Turley.
Also, there is a line of legal reasoning out there that Sessions (if he ever wakes up) may step in on any matter not related to the original investigation about alleged Russia collusion - and hence overrule Mueller and Rosestool. This may be why the scope of Mueller’s authority was later expanded and that a federal judge raised doubts about - to say that Sessions effectively recused in himself all matters related to anything that “grew out of” Day 1. If he had even 1 ball the size of a pea, he would step in ... but maybe he is afraid of the deep state machine too and their “obstruction” applies to everything.
Kafkaesque-Orwellian indeed.
“And WTF has happened to Judge Napolitano? Gowdy? Ryan long gone...”
They forgot to cover their cameras on their iphones with tape. The deep-state owns their perverted asses...
An extremely deceptive, lying, headline.
