Senate Judiciary Committee Will Probe Trump for Obstruction
Newsmax ^ | Tuesday, 20 Jun 2017 11:43 AM | By Jason Devaney |

The Senate Judiciary Committee's Russia probe will look into whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice in his firing of former FBI Director James Comey.

CNN reports that committee chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley and ranking Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein have come to an agreement about what the panel's investigation will cover. With the Senate Intelligence Committee keeping its main focus on Russia's meddling into the U.S. election last year, the judiciary panel will cover allegations that Trump acted improperly during his meetings with Comey and when he fired the former top cop.

"I think there's general agreement," Feinstein told CNN. "I think the important thing is to get started. What I found in these investigations is when you do them, you look at things you need to look at in addition.

"I think whether [the investigation] includes [a look at obstruction of justice] or not, people look for it. That will be the result. ... You look at various pieces of information, you see something and say, 'woah.'"

A spokesman for Grassley told CNN that Republicans and Democrats on the Judiciary Committee are in "general agreement" on what they will investigate.

There are multiple investigations on Capitol Hill looking into Russia's involvement in the election and whether or not Trump and/or members of his team colluded with the Russians.

There also is a Department of Justice investigation spearheaded by Robert Mueller, a former FBI director who was brought on as a special counsel for the probe.

Trump's White House has called the collusion claims false and said the investigations are wasting money and using government resources that could be employed elsewhere.

Why are Republicans who are in the majority agreeing with Democrats?

AS IF it is NOT "alleged"?

I know this is Newsmax, but this has not, and cannot, be proved.

So, until they have proof they have to call it "alleged."

That is what good journalism used to do.

First, they never come up with nothing. Whenever there is a “special prosecutor” they find something. Remember Scooter Libby?

But here is the big question. In order to Obstruct Justice, there has to be something to obstruct from. What investigation was obstructed? What was being investigated? You cannot obstruct an investigation that was never happening? What court order was not obeyed? What evidence was “wiped” or “lost”?

The idea that you can investigate obstruction of justice for an investigation that never existed is obscene!!!! Before you can call for an obstruction of an investigation, you need to explain what investigation was even being conducted that COULD BE OBSTRUCTED. All we have heard is that Trump was never being investigated.

Maybe someone could clear this up for me.

Trump’s lawyer keeps saying he’s not under investigation. Ok, I get it. A rose by any other name.
