Some more: Mueller said Trump's public acts can be considered obstruction: The special counsel wrote about how the President’s public comments can be considered as obstruction efforts because of his power. Why Mueller didn’t subpoena Trump: The special counsel believed it had the authority to subpoena President Trump — but decided against doing so because it would delay the investigation, according to the report. Prosecutors also believed they already had a substantial amount of evidence. Congress has the right to investigate: Mueller’s report laid out the case for why Congress is able to investigate and take action against Trump on obstruction of justice.
"Donald Trump failed to influence investigation largely because aides refused to listen to him" So everyone in the Whitehouse treats Trump like a loud dumb neighbor, quickly saying "Uh-Huh" while they race to their cars.
Trump showed no concern about damage to the intelligence community caused by his declassifications when it was for the sake of damaging people he didn't like. The Collateral Damage of Trump's Extreme Declassifications NewmanLily Hay Newman, security 09.18.18 05:06 pm The Collateral Damage of Trump's Extreme Declassifications excerpt: "Though the White House has demanded specific pages from the Page FISA application, its other requests potentially cast a wide enough net to expose law enforcement and intelligence methods and sources. "I do not recall anything like this happening in the past," says Jeffrey Ringel, director at the intelligence consultancy The Soufan Group, who spent 21 years as a national security specialist at the FBI. "Emails and text messages of investigators have been pulled into court previously by defense attorneys, but this would be much more broad and public. If law enforcement guaranteed that my identity would be kept secret as part of a deal, and then that bond is broken, it makes people lose faith in the system. The damage that would be done is something that’s going to continue for several years.""
What I see is typical mob tactics. We know he did something but he did not do enough. Same reason why Tony Soprano only talks to a few guys personally and they always do so in his basement with the dryer running. Trump planned things out so as to not get his hands dirty. He planned things so when the feds come in they have nothing. Al Capone was arrested for tax evasion not murder.
Advanced Cognitive Impairment: 1 Donald Trump: 0 Trump was quoted as saying “He has the best memory of any president in history” and yet when questioned by the Mueller Team there were over 30 instances in which the President claims he couldn’t remember. ..lol..
Mueller reported that Trump's written answers to his questions were inadequate. Mueller may not have subpoenaed Trump to testify as he would just have invoked the 5th Amendment.
First it was Mueller is conflicted, then Mueller is running a hoax. then he is a great guy who exonerated him, now Mueller is the one who issued the "Crazy Mueller Report" … says Trump!
Wow. So the Democrat Party and their partisans at CNN and MSNBC have sipped their cups of saki, donned their rising sun headbands and are gleefully strapping themselves into their kamikaze planes in one final last ditch effort to sink the USS Trump, Instead of licking their wounds and talking to voters as to why we should vote for them, they are all in on attempting to reanimate the Great Russian Collusion Hoax. I admire their zealotry, but the brave pilots ended up burnt to a crisp at the bottom of the sea and their cause was lost long before their wheels left the ground.
It seems only you and Trump can't accept the fact that the Russians interfered in our election process and you don't realize that Mueller stated that Trump and his buddies thought they could profit by that fact. You are perfectly willing to allow politicians to ask foreign powers to help them get elected in the future...Wow!
Spin doctor to the bitter end. Seems like a classic case of projection on your part. The Mueller report shows that the AG was doing exactly what your Trumpsters always do, using a strategy of misdirection to misrepresent a damning report.
But the investigation did show not only that the Prez lies like a rug but that he orders his subordinates to do so, and the main reason there is no clear obstruction case is that some wouldn't go along.
Well, he does show a little more imagination than the usual bullshit artists. And I guess the opposite of the democrat party is the republic party. Fair enough.
If his minions had carried out his orders, wouldn't they also have been guilty of obstruction of justice? asking for a friend.
