“level of ‘culpability” Is the key to the issue.
Too many attorneys getting this obstruction issue muddled up. Lemmee splain.
Mueller did not find an underlying crime in the collusion/conspiracy allegation.
That means that Trump’s push back, complaints, that is, any effort to derail the investigation must have a motive that is not corrupt.
However, if you are trying to cover up a crime or derail an investigation that discovers a crime....... Then you have obstruction.
The press and all the analysts are not being clear about that.
Now the House can try to vote to impeach for “high crimes and misdemeanors”.
Nadler can’t create a crime. Pelosi isn’t going to waste the House’s time on abstruse legal theories without cooperation from a Federal prosecutor.
gandalf,
Thanks, that is pretty darned concise and a GREAT hip-pocket retort to any gum-flapping in personal periphery.
Cheers
