10 Times Trump May Have Obstructed Justice

Wow! RonZ posts a pro-Trump meme?

Are you off your meds?

"May" because the Muller Report did not officially determine if Trump's direct interference in investigations did or did not constitute obstruction. It officially and specifically refused to exonerate Trump of obstruction. One would think that is what an impeachment trial would be for though- to determine if the President had violated the law or not and therefore whether to remove him from office or not. The cases where the Report found evidence of possible obstruction of justice are summarized below.



I find it telling that anyone would have a problem with it. Instead of holding the most powerful politicians in the land as accountable as possible, instead of demanding exacting accordance with the law, and instead of raking them across the coals anytime they did anything that even appeared illegal and/or unconstitutional, you have people falling all over themselves to protect them at all costs and put Party before anything and everything else. They're nothing but Party cultists protecting whoever the Great Leader happens to be.

Meanwhile , what matters is that Hillary Clinton is admittedly guilty of espionage, that has also been
unwittingly detailed by Comey, yet we not heard you wretch and whine about Hillary's ability
to exempt herself from our laws.
And what law did Trump break ? What crime did he commit ?
Fo .

Seriously, wake me up when Trump has someone killed in a "botched wallet theft" in the city of D.C. where nothing of value is taken from the body.

Perspective is something a lot of folks don't possess.

Liberals hate Trump, so jaywalking is 'High Crimes' , they love Hillary , so selling out (Uranium)
to Russia* , Espionage, 'actual' Obstruction of Justice (email deletes), 'true' and meaningful
conspiracy, are ignored.

* Considered Mortal enemies historically , by many.

So why you bitching at us?

Quitcherbitchin and call Pelosi's office to have him impeached.

She's the one stonewalling, not me.

I'm really curious to see what the reaction will be...if any.

Libbies supposedly hate giant corporations ruling over the country, but if it's a giant corporation censoring conservatives, then suddenly they love private property rights. Until it's them also censored for not being libbie enough and by then it's too late.

Yea, sort of like bold Bush-Cheny years 2004-2008, putting Conervatives+Neocons First.

Followed by 8 years of anguish.

Has there been any polling, how many of hardcore MAGA fans were also hardcore Bush-Cheney fans?
Besides Hannity, Levin and Lindsey Graham that is.

The president retains the 5th amendment right protections against self incrimination, his uncooperative stance and derision on the investigation is not obstruction, asking others not to cooperate is not obstruction[/i]. Threats and destruction of evidence is obstruction, which did not occur. The Mueller report is simply a list of complaints that Trump refused to incriminate himself.

Actually, under the law it is considered witness tampering and therefore is an act of obstruction. I don't have an opinion of whether it's "right" or "wrong" to do that but yes, asking (instructing?) potential witnesses to not cooperate is an act of obstruction. That topic became a centerpoint during the hearings on the Congressional 9th District election fraud case recently. The tamperer was indicted for directing witnesses not to cooperate.

I read the indictment of Mccrae Dowless. The obstruction charge comes from providing false information to investigators and directing his co-conspirators to provide false information to investigators. I acknowledge its a fine line but it's not the same, and the Mueller report makes no allegation Trump told witnesses to lie to investigators. In fact when Cohen was asked directly if Trump told him to lie his response was "No".

Amen, let's get this sh^% show over with. For maximal political gain, though, I don't think anything will really start to happen until Spring of 2020.

Start calling Pelosi every day until then and she might bump the schedule up a bit.

Horse shit. The Democrats and anti-Trumpers are the ones who committed the crimes and spied on an enemy campaign.

How can you obstruct justice when you never committed a crime? If anything, Trump was aiding justice by trying to stop a sham investigation.

Get over your TDS.

Exactly. When the entire Justice system is running the scam of trying to investigate a complete fabrication, then how in the hell can you be guilty of obstruction of them?

It's happening to Assange....and Manning as well right now.

It's like the old scam when a Police officer tries to detain you for being drunk in public, because you are sitting on your porch drinking, but then you're Blood Alcohol isn't that high so they cite you for disorderly conduct.

Total scam.

You have the right to tell others they have the right to remain silent.
