Jeb Bush: Trump Didn’t Obstruct Justice, But ‘Who Cares What I Think’
Breitbart ^ | 9 Jun 2017 | PENNY STARR

Posted on 06/09/2017 4:27:16 PM PDT by COBOL2Java


Former Florida Gov. and 2016 presidential candidate Jeb Bush said on Thursday that he doesn’t think President Donald Trump obstructed justice.

The charge of obstruction could apply if the President interfered with the FBI’s investigation into Russian tampering in the election by firing James Comey as director of the agency in charge of the probe.

“No, I don’t, but who cares what I think,” Bush said when asked whether Trump obstructed justice at a conference at Boston College. “There is a process underway and the testimony today is not as relevant to me, in that regard, as Mr. (Special Counsel Robert) Mueller’s activity.”

“Bush spoke to a standing-room-only crowd of finance industry executives and researchers at the 12th Annual Carroll School of Management Finance Conference at Boston College,” the Boston Herald reported. “His remarks came just minutes before Comey began his testimony about Trump before the Senate Intelligence Committee.”

“There’s a bar in D.C. that’s giving away free beer for every patron — they opened early this morning — for every tweet the president unleashes on Comey’s testimony,” Bush said, drawing laughter from the audience. “That’s a fairly self-destructive way to go about things.

“It’s not going to solve the alcoholism problem in our country either,” Bush said.

There is no longer any need for Mueller. He needs to be recalled.

Doesn’t that picture just scream “incompetent, overly-promoted, mid-level mindless and territorial bureaucrat” ?

Please don’t tell his mommy that Jebbie’s irrelevant; it’ll kill the old bat.

Sadly saying Jebbie may be better than PRyan is an indictment of our “leadership.” Now even Ryan’s ticket-mate is being urged by Ryan’s VP opponent to run for the Senate in UT. Uni-party, some call it!
