Obstruction. No question.

nope theres a question...couple of questions actually.
loke
1. With 92% of report available to public what do you think will be revealed within the the ither 8%?
2. Congress passed a law requiring grand jury information be redacted, why don't they just pass a law allowing grand jury information to be public?
3. Why does it make sense to you that Justice is being obstructed by the DoJ obeying a law Congress passed?
4. When the DoJ Eric Holder refused subpoenas over Fast/Furious, why did you lack the political hysteria that seems to overflow from your cup today?

The Mueller Report is clear in having handed off the job of investigating the President to Congress. Congress is attempting to do so. Trump is obstructing that effort. It's overtly attempting to prevent an action specifically described in the report as a justifiable next step.

The investigation says investigation is needed?..mmm ok.
But please, explain.

Congress is attempting to do so.

No they ain't. Democrats are grasping at straws to keep the 2016 narrative alive. Heck, even Hillary Clinton is still claiming the election was stolen from her. Truth is, 4 investigations have all found no crime by Trump and more cause for concern with DNC actions.


Trump is obstructing that effort.

Nope. Refusing to comply with illegal requests or performing duties of office is not obstruction. Just because you don't like him doesn't equal "criminal".

It's overtly attempting to prevent an action specifically described in the report as a justifiable next step.

Not sure i understand your gobbledygook here...are you saying that there is a law that requires adherence to any suggestion, comment, etc in the report?....i can wait.

Actually yeah, the report confirms oversight of a sitting president is outside of their jurisdiction but was the Constitutionally defined jurisdiction of Congress. And it laided out why they would be a justified in picking up where the special council could no longer proceed. It is an expression of the rule of law as defined by the highest law in the land.

But that "confirmation" does not legally obligate Congress (or anyone) to do anything - correct? :)

Honorentheos, I don't know what you're talking about. The most innocent President in our history just hid the report that proves 'complete and total exoneration'. It is only the President's commitment to the sacred principle of Executive Privilege that prevents him from releasing the Mueller Report.

Subbie, you mean Congress isn't obligated to follow up on the inability of a special prosecutor to clear the President through a 2 year investigation? Um.

He certainly plays an aggressive game.

So, we're now at the point where Dems no longer look weak. Pelosi is starting to look complicit.

“F” her political concerns. She's not doing her damned job.

whenever did her job description include "follow libtard hair-fires to their absurd, emotional, and juvenile conclusions"?

If anything her having to babysit and handhold the emotionally damaged democrats of 2016 is distracting her from actually doing her job.
