Mueller's 'Obstruction Investigation' Into Trump — Less Than Meets The Eye
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 6/16/2017 | Staff

Russia Probe: The latest "bombshell" report — at least in the minds of journalists — is that special counsel Robert Mueller is allegedly investigating whether President Trump obstructed justice. The significance of this is open to debate.

Based on unnamed sources (naturally), the Washington Post reported late Wednesday — in a story ominously headlined "Special counsel is investigating Trump for possible obstruction of justice " — that Mueller is "interviewing senior intelligence officials as part of a widening probe," and that this "marks a major turning point" in the investigation.

But even the Trump-hating New York Times was more careful than the hyperventilating Post in how it framed the story, saying the interviews were only "hinting" at such an inquiry.

In any case, it's hardly surprising that Mueller would talk to these officials. Democrats and the press have been screaming about obstruction nonstop since former FBI Director James Comey's testimony, which, they said, "laid out a road map for an obstruction charge."

In my uninformed opinion, the President should fire Mueller today, before lunch if possible. Then, just weather the storm of accusations and allegations for the next 6 months and let it all fade away.

My reasoning is simply that Mueller will drag this out for the next 18-24 months and it will be a continuous source of leaked innuendos, hints, allegations, and fake news from unnamed sources. We know there is no evidence of wrongdoing thanks to DiFi and Waters, so the purpose of the "investigation" is to continually smear and interfere with the President. So, I am suggesting that instead of enduring that for the foreseeable future, the President should pull the plug immediately, let the liberals scream about it as much as they want, and then move on to the next obstructionist assault up with which the liberals will come. FWIW.
