A hit piece without any facts. 'Smoking gun' makes for a nice headline but fails the fact test. I understand that people don't like Trump's personality and or his demeanor, but he won the election - so get over it - please.

A hit piece without any facts. 'Smoking gun' makes for a nice headline but fails the fact test. I understand that people don't like Trump's personality and or his demeanor, but he won the election - so get over it - please.

Unable to dispute even a single fact presented in this article, karlrb calls on everyone to just accept the President potentially obstructing justice to prevent investigation into potential Russian interference in our election. Because apparently whoever wins the most votes is totally above the law in his world, at least so long as the winner is Republican.

Ironically, he didn't even receive the most votes.

The facts are that Trump admitted he fired the FBI Director because of the "Russia thing".

There it is, Obstruction of Justice in his own words.

"Cowardly?" The American people, nay, the entire world knows which one is the cowardly one. The cowardly one is the one who DOES NOT testify, who DOES NOT answer questions, and who fires out comments whilst HIDING behind a shield called Twitter.

Comey laid down the outlines of a case of obstruction of justice that could be made by Robert Mueller III

Well as a private citizen Comey was able to leak government information in order to get his buddy Mueller appointed special counsel. Comey wants revenge for being canned. But he was going to be fired no matter who was elected because he can't help getting himself into the middle of the political game.

No prosecutor will claim that 'hoping' someone will do something is obstructing justice. It's ludicrous. But it is fun to watch the Left drive itself batty trying to pull off a coup.

Ah, well-spotted. If only this board had a competent UI design, I could go back and fix that.
