They made up a phony collusion with the Russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice

The evidence suggests that he is correct.

Muller is abusing his position.

[DGUtley]

Mueller hasn't done anything yet and we learned from the 'he's the target of the Russian investigation' allegations not to believe everything the MSM tells us or the deep state leaks.

Memo to Donald: STAY OFF THE TWITTER......

How so? I haven't heard one word from or about Mueller with respect to his investigation at this point. Do you have some inside information?

Good advice. Let Mueller do his investigation and let the chips fall where they may.

Highly unlikely he'll do that. The MSM knows exactly what buttons to push to get him to react and tweet.

[Adelaide]

It annoys me that he always says something is "So good" or "So bad" - does he not know synonyms for those words?

[gamewell45]

IMO, he has the vocabulary level of a 6th grader. Constantly repeats various words and phrases in the same paragraph; sometimes it sounds like he's unsure of himself.

Has Mueller actually opened his mouth in public yet? If so, I missed it. What did he say?

[Adelaide]

Right. It's hard to explain exactly what I mean because it goes beyond the "So Good/Bad" nonsense. I have always attempted to watch announcements and speeches by US Presidents, but I actively avoid Trump because I can't stand the way that he talks. It has nothing to do with the content of his speeches, it's the way he uses limited vocabulary and is constantly repeating himself. Like nails on a chalkboard... I have done a lot of public speaking for groups of up to 2000+, and maybe that's why I find it so incredibly annoying. There is a difference between being clear and articulate and sounding the way Trump does.

[Adelaide]

Lowest common denominator. He's a used car salesman.
It seems like a disconnect between how he should be able to speak, though. He's had formal post-secondary education at a fairly prestigious school. Assuming "daddy" didn't pay for him to pass through that school, he would and should have picked up the skills necessary to not sound like he fell off the turnip truck.

[Adelaide]

Right - WaPo posts an article, it becomes breaking news, but it cites secondary sources. There is no confirmation, just more leaks from inside. There is plenty of reason to not put much faith in the legitimacy of the information.

Comey testified that he didn't feel Trump obstructed justice. That would be the star witness on that point. Other intelligence officials testified that they were not asked to block Comey.

He has no basis to expand his investigation.

My question was about Mueller as that was the contention. Maybe I missed something but as far as I know Mueller has been mute on the situation.

Trump uses Twitter to speak to the common man. Not to politicians and journalists.

[Peter1469]

I said he does't have a basis to expand into obstruction based on testimony by several people to Congress.

He is reaching.

Perhaps I misunderstood you. In post # 2 you said "Muller is abusing his position" and I asked how. Reaching and Abusing are very different things.

[gamewell45]

Don't forget, like all President, he is being fed the answers through an ear piece. Obama was not really a stutterer, he was simply buying time until the answers were piped in.

Perhaps, but I always thought that Clinton was a great orator when it came to public speaking; Obama may have depended on a teleprompter, tho' I'm not 100% sure. As for Dubya, well, that's another story lol.

Abuse is good enough. A prosecutor who investigates without probable cause can lose his license and if he does it enough over time before being caught, jailed.

Fortunately Mueller's reputation would be antithetical to that.

Considering that Trump publicly confessed to firing Comey to take pressure off himself seems like enough cause, aside from the other related stuff. If Mueller isn't investigating Trump for obstruction, he should get on it.

I don't think it drives them crazy, I think he's just handing them the ammo to put into the rifle to fire back at him.

That is what is called a lie. That isn't what he said. He said it did ease pressure; he didn't say that is why he fired C. For why I think he mentioned the word crazy or something similar.

Still is in the eyes of a lot of people. I'd sure as hell trust Comey before I'd trust Trump.

[Hoosier8]

The moral of the story is, if you are Trump, you will be hunted by the witches for something they still have not found.

If you are a Clinton, you will be called a hero. Russia? No problem.

From Clinton Cash:

Bill and Hillary Clinton received large sums of money directly and indirectly from Russian officials while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. Bill Clinton was paid a cool $500,000 (well above his normal fee) for a speech in Moscow in 2010. Who footed the bill? An investment firm in Moscow called Renaissance Capital, which boasts deep ties to Russian intelligence. The Clinton Foundation itself took money from Russian officials and Putin-connected oligarchs.
They also took donations from:
Viktor Vekselberg, a Putin confidant who gave through his company, Renova Group
Andrey Vavilov, a former Russian government official who was Chairman of SuperOx, a research company that was part of the “nuclear Cluster” at the Russian government’s Skolkovo research facility;
Elena Baturina, the wife of the former Mayor of Moscow, who apparently gave them money through JSC Inteco, an entity that she controls;
Then there is the glaring fact that the Clinton Foundation also scored $145 million in donations from nine shareholders in a Canadian uranium company called Uranium One that was sold to the Russian government in 2010.

Assuming "daddy" didn't pay for him to pass through that school, he would and should have picked up the skills necessary to not sound like he fell off the turnip truck.

Perhaps he liked reading then about as much as he loves it now. I suspect a large donation to the school.

he testified nothing of the kind.

words have meanings, petey.


Early in the hearing, the intelligence panel's chairman, Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., asked Comey whether he thought Trump meant to obstruct justice by asking him to drop the Flynn case, or merely give the general a way “to save face.”

“I don't think it's for me to say whether the conversation I had with the president was an effort to obstruct,” Comey replied. “I took it as a very disturbing thing, very concerning, but that's a conclusion I'm sure the special counsel will work towards to try and understand what the intention was there, and whether that's an offense.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/06/08/fbi-chief-james-comey-obstruction-case-president-donald-trump/102641614/

[Peter1469]

That was one part of his testimony. One of the Congress Critters got him to say the word no to the question of obstruction.
If Comey is going to be a star witness in a criminal trial, his is already impeached.
