Among them, the report said he directed then-White House Counsel Don McGahn in June 2017 to tell the acting attorney general that Mueller “must be removed.” McGahn refused.

Not enough. Please try again later.

Mueller and the 13 Democrat accomplices he hired made sure that Vol. 2, the political document, would give the Socialists in Congress the ammunition to keep persecuting President Trump. Mueller is a political operative who is as crooked as Hillary Clinton.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y

Why hasn’t she been Arrested Yet for the Campaign Fraud she pulled?

Was there ANY reference at all to Fusion GPS in this report? This would be central to any investigation into collusion. Its omission is conspicuous by its absence.

The people in this country are more concerned whether they have a good job and can support their families. Most of the country are tired of beating a dead horse. It is time to halt the political grandstanding. They simply want to keep doubt about the President alive for the 2020 elections. This may help to generate more funding for both sides though. Trump seems to be raising the most money for his re-election. His polls are still over 50%.

The president’s true crime of obstruction was not bending over and taking it. “Thank you sir, may I have another?” Did not fall from his lips and therefore he obstructed the investigation.

Claims of innocence to the ears of the corrupt can be nothing but attempts to ward off the justice of their kangaroo court. Bad form and it encourages others to stand up for themselves.

The supposed instances of obstruction of justice presented in the Mueller report are pitifully thin. None of them even get close to the kind of conduct normally alleged in an obstruction of justice charge, and some of them rely on novel legal theories that are unlikely to stand up to any scrutiny.

Mueller et al allege that Trump's twitter comments about Manafort being a nice guy during his trial are an example of obstruction of justice. If that is true, then every talking head on CNN, MSNBC, etc., is guilty of the same thing. As is everyone else who wrote a twitter opinion about the trial.

Mueller is stretching like Elastigirl in The Incredibles.

The overarching point that few seem to mention or even comprehend is that at any time Trump had the authority and could have done any or all of these “directives” all on his own.

Had he, a case for obstruction MIGHT maybe have been an outside possibility. Suggesting, spitballing, recommending, advising, proffering, even ordering with no enforcement of execution is an impotent exercise demanding NO consequence legal or otherwise.

I don’t know why they can’t just admit: if you aren’t covering something you are guilty of, you are not obstructing. Obstructing is trying to prevent someone from bringing you to justice, not trying to prevent someone from proving your innocence.

If a highly-motivated crew of legal experts could not, in nearly two years of steady and highly adversarial investigations into the deeper recesses of Team Trump, come up with anything more than so-called “process crimes”, i.e., catching a witness who apparently contradicted their own earlier testimony, and therefore “lied” to the FBI, then the continued activities of Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff would appear to be exercises in futility.

Donald J. Trump is not going to be impeached, as the bar for that action by the US House of Representatives is set pretty high. The President CAN be maligned, which seems to be the present strategy, and an attempt mounted to do an end run around the Federal election laws, to elect “anybody but Trump”, but while that may have worked in 1992, don’t expect any counterpart of H. Ross Perot to come riding onto the stage. The Democrats, among themselves, cannot muster enough electoral strength to defeat Trump, even if they delve deeply into widespread voter fraud. The Democrats will win a few states overwhelmingly, with a popular vote plurality or even majority, that like that of Herself in 2016, but still come up short on the electoral college vote.

Obstructing the investigation that proved him innocent of the original ‘crime’ is going to be a very tough sell, especially in the states they would need to win in 2020.

I have a question that maybe someone can answer for me....Don McGahn was White House Counsel and seems to be the cornerstone of the most explosive revelation (still not a big deal unless you’re a TDS sufferer) that PDJT wanted Nueller removed. Here’s my question.....wouldn’t any conversation between McGahn and PDJT be protected as attorney client privilege?

When will House Speaker Cortez tell back-bencher Representative Pelosi to get on board the impeachment train?

The Dems pursuing impeachment will virtually guarantee a second term.

It is all playing out as well as Q said it would.

Trying to find any “technicality” to impeach the president over.

Too little, too late. The hammer is about to fall .... BOOM!

“level of ‘culpability” Is the key to the issue.

Too many attorneys getting this obstruction issue muddled up. Lemmee splain.

Mueller did not find an underlying crime in the collusion/conspiracy allegation.

That means that Trump’s push back, complaints, that is, any effort to derail the investigation must have a motive that is not corrupt.

However, if you are trying to cover up a crime or derail an investigation that discovers a crime....... Then you have obstruction.

The press and all the analysts are not being clear about that.

Now the House can try to vote to impeach for “high crimes and misdemeanors”.

Nadler can’t create a crime. Pelosi isn’t going to waste the House’s time on abstruse legal theories without cooperation from a Federal prosecutor.

The report looks like a tasty tidbit to the Democrats but it contains a hook that they may have trouble spitting out if they use it to impeach.

It looks entirely possible that they may want to back out of impeachment if the inspector general’s report results in indictments for falsely starting the whole thing.

There are rumblings that it may happen.
