The special counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election is investigating President Donald Trump for obstruction of justice, the Washington Post reports.
The Post, citing two unnamed sources, says special counsel Robert Muellers probe expanded to include the president just days after he dismissed former FBI Director James Comey. The source, billed as familiar with Muellers thinking, says the special counsel currently views the matter as a he said-he said situation.
Marc Kasowitz, the presidents personal counsel, denounced this latest leak.

this is Dems laying groundwork for impeachment - should they take House and Senate back in 2018. it’s war, folks.
What justice?
Look at who he’s hiring
“Trump needs to fire Mueller and Sessions needs to resign.”
Sessions should actually do his job and quickly find out who is leaking. If his recusal prevents him from doing that, then he should resign, so Trump can place someone in the office who can do the job.
I don’t care what Justice Department rules say. Sessions knew the charge was a hoax that was designed to sideline him, but he went right along with it. He is playing boy scout while the democrats play MS-13.
Read that Mueller met with burr and warner today
Fire Mueller and Rosenstein too, the friggin libtard.
“The Anonymous Sources of Washington Post and CNN Fake News”
How fake news gets made.

1.
Its latest hit piece runs a quote from, a former senior U.S. official who is close to current administration officials. Thats an anonymous source quoting hearsay from other anonymous sources.
2.
Last week, the Washington Post unveiled a story based on the private accounts of more than 30 officials at the White House. The fake news story falsely claimed that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein threatened to resign.
Rod had a simple answer when asked about that piece of fake news. No.
3.
The Washington Post’s “Trump fired Comey because he’s taller”
Obstruction of Justice is easier to fabricate than Russian Agent.
He said, he said.
He may have said “hope”. You know, like Hope and Change.
Hope isn’t Obstruction, but calling a Criminal Investigation a “matter” might be.
Can’t control his people? or is he specifying what to leak? Mueller is not on our side and he is not impartial. He is a swamp creature and is a long term partner with the swamp snake Comey.
If this is about what Comey said that Trump said, then Comey needs to be charged with 18USC4 for not reporting this “obstruction of justice”.
It may or may not be fake news, but, in all honesty the only way to clear all this bullshit and shut everyone up is to investigate it and then find nothing.
The Justice Department needs to be thoroughly cleaned out, or rather, should have been cleaned out in the first two weeks. It is full of snakes all the way up to Rothstein.
Two unnamed sources - I’ve got two unnamed sources here who are saying Mueller is in cahoots with the DNC to take down Trump - that’s what your two unnamed sources are worth....
That doesn't mean Trump can't start cutting off some arms and legs at the DOJ to get get rid of the rotten apples to try and squeeze Mueller out via the backdoor.
And as for Sessions, he is a big disappointment. Too much from the old, staid Senatorial types. Not aggressive at all. Not a risk-taker like his boss. He and Trump are a mismatch.
More fake news. I do not believe anything from he Post citing unnamed sources.
“Tips For Reading Washington Post Stories About Trump Based On Anonymous Leaks”

Washington Post claimed “Rosenstein threatened to resign”
But the person close to the White House who made the claim without using his or her name was contradicted by none other than Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein himself. The next day he said, Im not quitting when asked by reporters. No, he said to the follow-up question of whether he had threatened to quit.
2.
Washington Post claimed: “FBI Director James B. Comey requested more resources from the Justice Department for his bureaus investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, according to two officials with knowledge of the discussion.”
Anonymous sources again had something very different to say from people whose comments were tied to their names, who all denied the report.
3.
Washington Post claimed: “reports that Comey had requested more funding or other resources for the Russia investigation”
The next day under oath, acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe repeatedly denied that the probe into Russia was undersourced or requiring any additional funds. [and/or other resources]
4.5.6......
Previous Washington Post stories sourced to anonymous officials have fallen apart,
Each of these stories were explosive breaking news that served an anti-Trump narrative but later turned out to be false.
More hysteria to get another shooting going. POTUS wasn’t even under investigation and what is the crime he’s obstruction justice to help solve?
Mueller in deep with his HRC staffers. Just disgusting.
And the R’s sit naval gazing, except for Ryan and his “lets all get along” song and dance he was doing today. Yet they don’t support our President that WE the people lawfully elected.
Comey springing leaks again?
