During special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, his legal "dream team" tried to make a secondary case that Donald Trump also obstructed efforts to prove Trump-Russian "collusion."
Trump was said to have advised his lawyers and other subordinates, past and present, not to cooperate fully with the Mueller investigation. Yet the special counsel did not pursue any actionable cases of egregious interference by the White House.
Indeed, Mueller would never have concluded his $35 million, 22-month investigation had he not enjoyed cooperation from the White House.
White House employees were questioned freely by the special counsel. Documents were released. When the special counsel's exhaustive investigation into purported Trump-Russia collusion found no such crime, the fallback claim of obstruction arose. Trump allegedly wanted to curtail Mueller's parameters of inquiry into something that was proven not to be a crime.
Mueller found no grounds for a criminal referral on obstruction of justice. But he repeatedly hinted that Trump had thought about obstructing the non-crime of collusion.
In the Ukrainian melodrama, Trump is accused of the thought crime of considering the withholding of military assistance unless Ukraine investigated possible Ukrainian tampering in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and also former Vice President Joe Biden's intervention in Ukrainian politics on behalf of his son.

According to Dems. Partisan opinions warrant impeachment.
The president considered his options. Let's impeach him for that.
We know who the criminals are, when are we going to prosecute?
“We know who the criminals are...”
We sure do, however only if you have been paying attention since the beginning. My guess that there is an overwhelming amount of folks hearing this for the first time.
There is an awesome video floating around where they document at least 50-70 times these interviewee’s and how they feel....it;s fantastic!
No, they are not.
(Thoughts are free) is a German song about freedom of thought. The original lyricist and the composer are unknown, though the most popular version was rendered by Hoffmann von Fallersleben in 1842.
Below are the lyrics. First the German Lyrics in Italics
Die Gedanken sind frei, wer kann sie erraten,
sie fliegen vorbei wie nächtliche Schatten.
Kein Mensch kann sie wissen, kein Jäger sie schießen
mit Pulver und Blei: Die Gedanken sind frei!
2.Ich denke was ich will und was mich beglücket,
doch alles in der Still', und wie es sich schicket.
Mein Wunsch und Begehren kann niemand verwehren,
es bleibet dabei: Die Gedanken sind frei!
3. Und sperrt man mich ein im finsteren Kerker,
das alles sind rein vergebliche Werke.
Denn meine Gedanken zerreißen die Schranken
und Mauern entzwei: Die Gedanken sind frei!
4. Drum will ich auf immer den Sorgen entsagen
und will mich auch nimmer mit Grillen mehr plagen.
Man kann ja im Herzen stets lachen und scherzen
und denken dabei: Die Gedanken sind frei!
5. Ich liebe den Wein, mein Mädchen vor allen,
sie tut mir allein am besten gefallen.
Ich sitz nicht alleine bei meinem Glas Weine,
mein Mädchen dabei: Die Gedanken sind frei!
The English Translation is on the right
1. Thoughts are free, who can guess them? They fly by like nocturnal shadows. No person can know them, no hunter can shoot them with powder and lead: Thoughts are free!
2. I think what I want, and what delights me, still always reticent, and as it is suitable. My wish and desire, no one can deny me and so it will always be: Thoughts are free!
3. And if I am thrown into the darkest dungeon, all these are futile works, because my thoughts tear all gates and walls apart: Thoughts are free!
4. So I will renounce my sorrows forever, and never again will torture myself with whimsies. In one's heart, one can always laugh and joke and think at the same time: Thoughts are free! 5. I love wine, and my girl even more, Only her I like best of all. I'm not alone with my glass of wine, my girl is with me: Thoughts are free!
It is one of my favorite Folks song I learned in school
Worse than thought crimes. Its now’s crime if someone else thinka you might have committed a crime.
Or as we saw these last weeks, they think its a crime if someone has hurt feelings.
Bkmk
“1984”
Yup, this is so Orwellian and the Democrats are not even disputing it is.
The thought crimes in this case are definitely impeachable (as proven by current events), where ‘thought crime’ is what dims think Trump thinks.
This song always comes to mind when I consider the “woke” progressive world of thought reform.
Remember when we thought George Orwell’s nightmare was fiction?
Are thought-crimes impeachable?
Yes, of course, but only if Republicans are impeached. (The NYT’s position I’m sure.)
Yes of course. I continue to hear from impeachment supporters that “Trumps intentions are....”. Convenient. You don’t need Trump on record stating it verbally. Guessing his intentions is more than enough to impeach.
