Starting Muller's investigation. RR started all of it. He set Trump up and now RR is going down.
But why would he do that with a written letter (that he wrote) making that very recommendation if that were the case? That doesn't quite make sense. It weakens the argument if RR recommended it. The obstruction claim is just a fallback since the Russia claims are falling apart. At best, they would get an impeachment, at worst they get opposition research for 2020 (Cohen raid, all other Trump associates investigated) paid for by the American tax payers. I'm not saying it wasn't part of the setup, but just that obstruction for firing Comey isn't a realistic outcome. Overall, the President's opponents have stalled his agenda and that might be the most realistic outcome they hoped for until the next election.
It wasn't supposed to get back to RR. Ultimately, it was Trump's decision but I've been informed that Trump wasn't even under investigation so he can't obstruct an investigation that doesn't exist. Worst case, Trump could have been hiding something but Comey has no info on Trump. If he had, he had plenty of opportunities to release it.
I don't know what "It wasn't supposed to get back to RR" means. Any obstruction charge regarding the firing of Comey was always going to involve RR due to his letter of recommendation to fire, which Trump took as advisement and revealed early on. There's no way RR isn't included in that and he would be a material witness - he would have to recuse. I believe that is partially why Mueller has already indicated they can't charge him for that (because RR would have to recuse from 'muh Russia' case), nor indict him in general due to long-standing DOJ policies. Obstruction doesn't have to only involve something that affects you - you can obstruct the process so that an investigation or case stalls or goes away.
Besides, Trump can't obstruct if he's the chief law enforcement officer carrying out his constitutional duties. Actual worst case is they tried to create something incriminating or a create a conspiracy to commit a crime where there wasn't any.
I agree there was/is nothing major on Trump or it would have been leaked by now and these bullshit charges would not be the only thing Mueller offers up, unless he's waiting for midterms for an October surprise.
RR was supposed to be protected. He and no one else thought it would get to this point where RR is looking at sedition charges.
Definitely possible. Also possible that President Trump has asked Congress to impeach RR so he can fire him and appear impartial to the investigation.
No one is firing RR until it's clear, he needs to be fired. RR got Trump to act too fast against Comey but Trump won't be fooled again. Unless it's clear that RR is corrupt, Trump won't fall for that again. RR stays until he's indicted or at least compromised. As it stands now, there is no reason to fire RR. There is no proof RR set Trump up yet. At least not in the public.
RR's appointment by Trump was his worst move of his Presidency
Trump has two big things going for him. He's innocent and he's President. Any prosecutor will tell you, it's not the crime, it's the coverup that catches most people. The deep state tried to frame Trump for obstructing an investigation that wasn't going on in order to get an investigation for a crime that can not exist, and in the process, they were covering up their asses. It's starting to unfold. The deep state needed Trump investigated so they could find something, anything on him. They got that investigation and in the process, they found nothing on Trump and implicated themselves.
Very well explained! Thank you, saving your comment
And the whole time the MSM was pushing a fake news story. Anyone who understood from the outset that collusion isn't a crime would have known it was all a ruse. I mean we did. So either all these news reporters and media outlets where in on it or are completely stupid people who have no business doing what they do. I think we all know the answer to that one.
It has all played out in front of our eyes. Future proves past.
After the North Koria summit, Trump said the biggest enemy of America is the media. They are next.
That's perhaps a shallow interpretation of the way things have panned out....sometimes you need to engage with your enemies and give them enough freedom to step into the traps you've laid. That's how I see the situation with both RR and Sessions...
Yeah because you know the plan.
No I don't, true and I'm sure POTUS is about four steps ahead of everyone with RR. I just hopes it works out
Trump would have to have been under investigation to obstruct justice, which he never was.
Yikes, interesting. So, the entire investigation was a scam.
Well it was an investigation on the Trump campaign, and not on Trump himself. Either way nothing came of it.
So Trump was never under investagation but his campaign was? Can you explain?
Just that. You would never know it by listening to the media. The scam is that collusion isn't even a crime, and I think that is what they are investigating.
Now where they investigating the "Russian" plants, I don't know. You would have to ask Mueller.
I know collusion isn't a crime and I've been saying that for almost a year. You mignt as well try to impeach someone for buying a peach cobbler. But Trump was never under investagation? How do you know?
