If he could care less, that means he cares a lot! If he couldn't care less, which is what I think you were saying here, then he cares not at all. And why Google? I personally do not trust them to be t***hful about ANYTHING! They are hacks for the radical left in this country. as far as I can tell. Don't use em anymore.

Mueller was the mule who delivered hilliar's uranium samples to the Russians. Think Mueller did that out of the kindness of his little heart?
Mueller was given two assignments. Remove Trump from office and hide any evidence of wrongdoing by the Obama administration or the Clinton campaign.
Mueller was the assassin who ran out of bullets. They are reloading now.
Trump better start fighting back with something more potent than tweets.
They are out to get rid of him, one way or another.

Forget the Russians, the adult film stars, the Playboy bunnies, and the illegal payoffs covering up sexual misconduct. Forget the hotels full of foreigners enriching the president. And forget the convictions of his former campaign manager and his personal lawyer who may in the near future implicate the president himself in their wrongdoings.

The clearest potential violation of the law so far has been around a much less sexy issue—the issue that got President Richard Nixon in the end—obstruction of justice. In an exhaustively documented, 167-page 2nd edition of their report, “P**********l Obstruction of Justice: The Case of Donald J. Trump,” Barry H. Berke, Noah Bookbinder and Norman L. Eisen lay out the historical and legal bases for the concept and the charge. If, at some point in the future, some young lawyers on the House Judiciary Committee are instructed to draft articles of impeachment they will, no doubt, read this paper first and put its analysis to use.

For those who think obstruction of justice was something made up by the Democrats to get at President Trump, have a look at the Declaration of Independence. It begins with a long list of grievances against King George. Eighth in the list is the following: “He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.”

The first federal statute defining obstruction of justice was passed in 1831 and several have been added over the years to criminalize such conduct. Today, the authors argue, “President Trump faces the possibility of criminal liability for obstructing justice under three different theories.” The first is the obstruction of a proceeding such as congressional proceeding or a grand jury proceeding. The second is witness intimidation, and the third is conspiracy.

The clearest example of Trump possibly working to obstruct a proceeding is, obviously, his firing of FBI Director James Comey—an action Trump’s former strategist Steve Bannon called, “the biggest mistake maybe in modern political history.” Berke, Bookbinder and Eisen point out that while the president has the right to fire anyone who works for him, he cannot do so if it is “done for the corrupt purpose of obstructing an investigation.” The analogy they make is to the right of an employer to fire someone but not on the basis of their race, sex, or religion.

As for witness intimidation, the authors point to a long list of p**********l tweets and statements ranging from his now familiar cry to end the “witch hunt,” to his attempts to discredit senior FBI officials, to his lawyer publicly speculating about pardons for his former colleagues, to revoking John Brennan’s security clearance because he led the “sham” Russian investigation. Witness tampering, according to the authors, “need not be explicit or overt. … Suggestive threatening, intimidating or persuasive statements are sufficient to support a case under Section 1512 (b).”


The third point the authors make has to do with corrupt intent—a phrase they admit is very vague. But here too, they cite a long list of Trump’s actions, including ordering Deputy Attorney General Rode Rosenstein to “…draft a memo on Comey’s conduct that the president would subsequently use as cover for Comey’s firing…” They go on to write that President Trump, “faces exposure under both the ‘offense clause’ and the ‘defraud clause’ of the conspiracy statute.”

Where all this goes, of course, is anyone’s guess until the full Mueller report is out (or at least submitted to Congress). According to the authors, the indictment of a sitting president “is not free from doubt.” Impeachment as a tool to discipline a president, however, is free from doubt; as is a sealed indictment which reserves prosecution for such time as the president returns to private life.

The first edition of this paper, published in October of 2017 was the first effort to lay out just how an obstruction of justice case might be made against President Trump. Now, ten months later, the second edition demonstrates that the president’s pattern of potentially obstructive conduct is even more extensive than previously realized. And there is likely more to come.

The Steel dossier din not have ant thing to do with the investigation It began with an FBI investigation Carter Page and his activities in Russia then George Papadopoluse tod an Austrailian diplomat in a London bar that the Russians had dirt on Clinton and then a whole can of worms opened up and the Russian manipulartion became apparent. * members of Trumps campaign have been charges 12 Russian Nationals and 13 Russian intelligence officers three companies and two other people have been charged and a dozen instances of obstruction by Trump himself as well as 14 ongoing investigations by other prosecuters. That's a lot of smoke

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

I agree..every time you post, it's mostly all smoke and big on mirrors too.

Rosenstein didn't recommend Trump fire Comey he was instructed to write that memo in order to cover up the fact he was being fired because he would not swear his loyalty to Trump and worse would not back off Mike Flynn and the Russher thing as he describes it to Lester Holt on TV. Reality has a well known liberal bias. That’s fine if you don’t have to make anything that works. But if you’re concerned with functionality, as engineers are, you have to go where the evidence takes you. And to conservatives, that will make you appear l*****t. American conservatism, especially over the last 30 years, has come to value ideology over evidence.

You really are Hillaryous, dude. The Steele dossier was the principle evidentiary instrument with which Comey obtained the FISA warrant with Carter Page's name on it.

Now Trump is pissed. He waited for the mueller report to come out to see the reactions of the kommiecrats. They shuddered and shrieked when one of their own failed to make a case to remove Trump from office. So they are going through state courts and congressional investigations to further harrass Trump and hopefully remove him from office.
Trump is going to release the FISA documents and other information about the obama administration's actions to stop candidate Trump and then to remove him from office.
This will be a devastating exposure of s******n and treason leading all the way to obama.

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

I pray that justice is served..brutally cold.

The s******n keepers will be spewing new bullbiden on a hourly basis when the Schitf hits the fan.

A few higher ups in the conspiring mob, deserve the ultimate punishment.
