If Mueller concluded that Donald Trump has Obstructed Justice

False.
Why is it when you people summarize what I say it never is.
If he is found guilty of campaign conspiracy with the Russians, then a reasonable person could conclude he wanted to end the investigation so he wouldn’t be caught.

Maybe he wanted to end the investigation so his personal lawyer wouldn’t be jailed, or his campaign manager, or maybe he didn’t want the world to know he’s been paying porn stars for sex, or who knows what else. Those all seem like good reasons for Trump to obstruct the investigation.

The act of impeachment is completely political.

Except, of course, the real draw back to your hypotheticals is that he did not end the investigation.

As may be Mueller’s opinions. Or a court systems opinion for that matter. We live in an imperfect world. Your faith in the impartiality of Mueller greatly exceeds mine.

I clearly wrote “obstruct,” not “end.” Why is it when you people summarize what I said it never is?

Touche.
Ok, if he obstructed that investigation it was the worst case of obstructing I have ever seen.

That I can agree with.

Mueller had his conclusion on the first day of his inquisition. He’s just looking to weave a patchwork of knots that will keep the anti-trumpers fired up.

It’s a typical tactic on this board (and throughout the internet.)

“So … (insert something you did not say …) …”

Then they demand that you defend yourself against their strawman.

Light a match to it. Don’t play their game.

Think about what you just posted.

Why would he do that?

There’s no single thing that will ever cause Trump supporters to stop supporting Trump. Polls show this again and again.

Between you and Mueller, it does appear that one (and exactly one) person had come to their conclusion at the onset of the investigation.

No, you missed my point entirely.

A charge of obstruction does not require a prerequisite illegal act. Trump doesn’t have to be guilty of any other crime in order to be guilty of obstruction.

But he has to obstruct. And performing his legitimate hire and fire job viz a viz the FBI is not obstruction. It is as much part of his job as starting or ending investigations is part of Comeys job. Its in his authority.

As I said before, obstruction is about intent. It’s less about what Trump did, and more about why he did those things.

So the witch hunt has been reduced to a snare.

If Mueller is mining the countryside for independent and moderate swing votes with his collusion scam…I do not think he will be at all successful.

Stzok sunk the Mueller investigation with his texts and attitude before Congress.

Even the “secret” recordings of President Trump show he is a decent person.

Lanny Davis is walking back his outrageous assertions…which meant nothing WRT Russia or collusion.

It is time to turn the worm and look at Ohr, the Steele Dossier, and the FISA warrants under a super microsope. THERE Mueller might just find his Russia meddling…

If CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, NYT…tells a bunch of lies that you bought into it hook, line and sinker…lit your hair on fire, began running around yelling Russian collusion and now obstruction…could you ever become a rational, logical thinker ever again?
