Reading the Mueller report was like watching a movie you've seen a 1000 x's and you know the ending. We knew this already at the end of March.
Goodness gracious are you ever dug in hard on this Russian Collusion Delusion narrative! Wowzers
You can't obstruct a crime that DID NOT HAPPEN TO BEGIN WITH!!
Mueller with his band of democrat Trump haters wrote that report and STILL NO OBSTRUCTION AND/OR COLLUSION
Time for you to get over it.
Next up on the docket - Spygate and indictments are coming!
Tick Tock
So why is Trump then not either being:
1. Arrested
2. Impeached
3. Censured
For the factually challenged among us:As I said, I do not like Trump and have thought him to be a scoundrel since I first read his book 25+ years ago. So I am not excusing him.
his failed, unfulfilled attempts do not constitute the offence of obstruction of justice. Maybe you are conflating this with conspiracy where the mere act of discussing a proposed criminal act constitutes an offence?
I think the other, inevitable, shoe(s) will drop when he is voted out of office and his many past misdeeds will come back to haunt him and he will face charges then.
Definition
18 U.S.C. § 1503 defines "obstruction of justice" as an act that "corruptly or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication, influences, obstructs, or impedes, or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice."
Overview
Someone obstructs justice when that person has a specific intent to obstruct or interfere with a judicial proceeding. For a person to be convicted of obstructing justice, that person must not only have the specific intent to obstruct the proceeding, but that person must know (1) that a proceeding was actually pending at the time; and (2) there must be a connection between the endeavor to obstruct justice and the proceeding, and the person must have knowledge of this connection.
§ 1503 applies only to federal judicial proceedings. Under 18 U.S.C. § 1505, however, a defendant can be convicted of obstruction of justice by obstructing a pending proceeding before Congress or a federal administrative agency. A pending proceeding could include an informal investigation by an executive agency.
Honestly 'SchlongConery, I expect 'WarGames' and 'Phil C McNasty' and a few others on this board to be totally 'clueless' regarding facts, but you should know better.
Codified U.S. law states that an "endeavour" to obstruct justice is considered an obstruction of justice. There is NO argument otherwise. It's quite plain, simple and factual.
Mueller lists 10 endeavours by Trump obstruct justice. All 10 endeavours failed because Trump's orders were rightfully not acted upon by his underlings because 'they' knew the legal consequences they would face had they acted upon Trump's orders. And as U.S. codified law states, an endeavour, just one endeavour to obstruct justice is obstruction of justice according to U.S. law.
Mueller, contrary to Barr's televised LIE stating otherwise, clearly stated in the report that though he found Trump endeavoured to commit obstruction of justice on at least 10 occasions, he could not proceed with any indictments of a sitting President, Trump in this case, because of long standing DOJ and it's of Office of Legal Counsel policy and guideline, and thus Mueller clearly stated that the obstruction of justice 'crimes' committed by Trump is a matter for Congress, not AG Barr, to address.
These are the facts.
