Eric Holder: ‘Any Competent’ Prosecutor Could Win Obstruction Case Against Trump
Breitbart - Politics ^ | 4-19-2019 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 04/20/2019 4:58:42 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder claimed Friday that any “competent” prosecutor would be able to make a successful obstruction of justice case against President Trump based on the findings outlined in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

“ANY competent public corruption prosecutor would bring obstruction charges against Trump/and win. Only reason Mueller did not was because of the flawed DOJ [Justice Department] restriction against indicting a sitting President. He said so (below). Congress now has a constitutional responsibility,” Holder wrote on Twitter.

McGahn was a lawyer for the office of the President, IIRC. That means no attorney-client, only executive privilege.

I must disagree with that assessment unfortunately.

There was one fool more worthless than Eric the Black, but this fool wasn’t black.

This fool is named Jefferson Beauregard Sessions.

He was the most useless fool in the world, because in the very least, Eric the Black served his master well.

Yet Comey said no good prosecutor would be able to convict Hillary on her classified email misconduct.

LOL. I’ll bet 3/4 of the evidence would be ruled inadmissible in court.

And I wonder.....

How much of this “obstruction” occurred while they were telling Trump he was not a target of the investigation?

POST 75-
You cannot obstruct nor be exonerated from a non-existent crime.

. . . “Let the jury consider their verdict,” the King said, for about the twentieth time that day.
“No, no!” said the Queen. “Sentence first–verdict afterward.”
“Stuff and nonsense!” said Alice loudly. “The idea of having the sentence first!”
“Hold your tongue!” said the Queen, turning purple.
“I won’t!” said Alice.
“Off with her head!” the Queen shouted at the top of her voice. Nobody moved.
“Who cares for you?” said Alice. (She had grown to her full size by this time.) “You’re nothing but a pack of cards!”

This response cited yesterday and it also seems to fit in this thread. I cannot remember who posted it. Thanks for the thought.

Ohh suure. Imagine if Holder had gotten rid of that rule (or attempted to) with Obama in power? Why did he keep it in place if it was so “flawed”, eh?

Maybe.

Well, except for the fact that it’s impossible for a sitting POTUS to commit Obstruction of Justice by definition.

Perhaps somebody should call the Shore Patrol.

If Mueller could not bring charges of obstruction , then Holder is calling Mueller incompetent.

So Mueller is incompetent?

Actually, that could explain how he and his staff of angry Democrats could run a two and a half year witch hunt and not een find enough to justify making up some witches.

Let me get this right. President Trump is guilty of obstructing and investigation that would lead to his exoneration of all charges of collusion with the Russians. And this because he thought about it but actually did not do anything.

Firing Mueller would not have been obstruction.
What sort of mental masturbation would assert that it could be?
