There can be no “obstruction” if there was no crime. Barr made that point in the letter.
Yes, that is . Without an underlying crime, how can there be an obstruction of justice.
Mueller did what Comey did with the Clinton e-mail. This is not prosecutorial duty being discharged. , he went past his prosecutorial duty to screw PDJT.
The evidence of obstruction is PDJT calling the Mueller investigation a “witch hunt.”
This second aspect of the Mueller finding is pure politics. If he wasn’t an indictable offence, Mueller should have simply stated it. Instead he made sure to reveal his hand wringing in public just like Comey did.
I do not respect Mueller at all, I think he is an absolute ass.
How did Trump obstruct?
By calling the Mueller probe a “witch hunt?” It was indeed just that.Obviously the comments of the president touched a few leftist Donk nerves, but they could not say that his declarations and protestations of innocence were de facto “obstruction.” Just a bunch of whining Donk lefties!
Of course there can be no de jure obstrcution without a required pre-existing crime investigation to obstruct,
