Report: Trump Under Investigation For Obstruction Of Justice
DAILY CALLER ^ | 14 JUNE 2017 | KEVIN DALEY

Posted on 06/14/2017 3:50:27 PM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

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 Mueller’s probe expanded to include the president just days after he dismissed former FBI Director James Comey. The source, billed as familiar with Mueller’s thinking, says the special counsel currently views the matter as a “he said-he said” situation.

Marc Kasowitz, the president’s personal counsel, denounced this latest leak.

This is a bull$#!+ planted story designed to provoke Trump into doing something stupid. RINOs are chomping at the bit to find something to justify impeachment hearings.

Nobody is paralyzed. All of this nonsense is simply put out there as a distraction while the Republicans in the House and Senate do their best to legislate behind the scenes.

Do you think it's a coincidence that the House passed a Dodd-Frank repeal bill on the same day that Comey was testifying before the Senate?

Something that a lot of folks here seem to be overlooking is that Trump wanted Comey to investigate him so he could be vindicated of these charges. Comey gave him some legitimate reasons why that might not be a good idea, but I'm sure that thought never left Trump's mind. Why wouldn't Trump want to have the same investigation by Mueller?

Sessions knew the charge was a hoax that was designed to sideline him, but he went right along with it.

Yeah, WHY did he go right along with it?

Absurd. Just absurd.

Trump has nothing to lose at this point. Fire Mueller, replace Sessions, appoint an AG to go after clinton, rice, obama and the rest. Fight fire with fire. Screw the media. They’re the ones fueling this. Most of America will be happy if he fires mueller.

If the Swamp is not put on Code RED drain and rid Sessions, the left WILL impeach the President even if they can get it as far as what happened to Bill Clinton. This is revenge and a coup. To let Hillary Clinton go may be one of the biggest miscalculations in American politics among others recently.

Sessions was more worried about his own reputation and legacy than the phony issue at hand. Pure vanity .

This idiot picked a Obama /Dem bot lawyer Rosenstein and not even a Trump supporter for this key position which is normal.
Why this was not stopped is my question .
Laura Ingram was flabbergasted by this choice .

Yesterday the idiot said he believed in Mueller like a good DC swamp person he evolved into rather than saying I would hold my opinion until later .

Sessions is a moron .

This is why you don’t want a special investigator. It becomes a comprehensive fishing expedition, ending in indictments that have nothing — NOTHING — to do with the original excuse for the special investigator.

There was not a single iota of evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

There was never a logical reason to NEED a special prosecutor in the absence of ANY EVIDENCE whatsoever.

Now it is a full blown witch hunt, and by damn, IT WILL TURN UP SOMETHING OR MANUFACTURE IT IF NEED BE!

I am beyond livid that the deputy AG “bowed” to the phony pressure from the Democrate hit machine and allowed a special prosecutor. This is pure, unadulterated Bull S!!!!

Trump should sue the Wash Post for defamation of character as well as suing to identify UNNAMED sources cited in all their hit pieces on him.

Someone explain: are we not informed by the investigators what’s being investigated? Is our conduit to this information through leakers?

Do we know that obstruction of justice is being investigated?

Most of this stuff people are upset about is fantasy and the same type of fake news seen for more than a year. The MSM has figured out ‘leaks’ will attract more readers than their fake reporters editorializing. Too many people are addicted to outrage adrenaline.
