Where are these obstruction of justice crimes Holder thinks can be prosecuted? Mueller didn't indict for them. Barr didn't think they amounted to anything and agreed, no charges against Trump.

So what are these crimes? People keep bringing up McGahn. Trump apparently wanted him to fire Mueller. McGahn advised against it and resigned.

Neither one took any action against Mueller. Trump voicing his distain for Mueller and wanting him gone, is not obstruction. Firing Mueller may have been obstruction but that didn't happen.

Talkin' and doin' are two different things. Of all the situations listed in the Mueller report, none were overt actions to block the investigation. They were all "thought" crimes. And Holder thinks he can be prosecuted for that?

Congress impeaching Trump is a whole different story. They're after political blood and don't need a crime to charge Trump. They can just bring Articles of Impeachment against him House for just not liking him. Senate would never convict without hard evidence.

People are trying to compare BJ Clinton's impeachment with a possible Trump case. Ken Starr's report said that Clinton was guilty on 11 criminal charges, five of them obstruction of justice. Mueller doesn't allege any crimes by Trump. Apples and oranges.

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