Comey says 'it sure looks like' Trump had criminal intent to commit obstruction of justice
CNN ^ | May 9, 2019 | Kate Sullivan

Former FBI Director James Comey said Thursday that "it sure looks like" President Donald Trump had criminal intent to commit obstruction of justice during special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

At a CNN town hall in Washington, Anderson Cooper asked Comey whether, based on the redacted version of Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election, he believed Trump had criminal intent to commit obstruction.

"It sure looks like he did, in connection with a couple episodes -- the direction to (former White House counsel) Don McGahn to get the special counsel fired is to my mind a flaming example" of criminal intent, Comey said.

I listened to this on my nightly run just now. There’s a few attacks on the president, but there’s a LOT of defusing of recent revelations going on. They’re basically formulating talking points for when the FISA and Papodopolous revelations come out. They can point to a quote from Comey say, “Yeah I didn’t know about it, but it was necessary...”

They’re very scared. It might be coming tomorrow.

Where’s the evidence, Comey?

Your buddy Mueller searched for two long years and found nothing.

There was no crime, and the entire “investigation” was launched on the basis of what were known at the time to be lies.

How does one obstruct justice of a witch hunt?

"..criminal intent to commit obstruction of justice.."

comey needs to explain how President Trump could obstruct investigation of a crime that isn't a crime, that never occurred in the first place.
