A new report from the nation’s leading center-right think tank claims that President Donald Trump likely obstructed justice when he fatefully fired former FBI Director James Comey earlier this year.

In that report, “Presidential obstruction of justice: The case of Donald J. Trump,” issued by the Brookings Institution, authors Barry H. Berke, Noah Bookbinder, and Norman Eisen methodically lay out their case in four sections.

Attempts to stop an investigation represent a common form of obstruction. Demanding the loyalty of an individual involved in an investigation, requesting that individual’s help to end the investigation, and then ultimately firing that person to accomplish that goal are the type of acts that have frequently resulted in obstruction convictions.


The case is airtight. This whitepaper lays out all of the currently known facts and precedent from case law.

After reading this, I'm convinced that Trump would be indicted if he weren't currently POTUS.

This congress won't do anything so I think Mueller might just try to test the question of indicting a sitting president.

What exactly are you objecting to? The facts are laid out in great detail in the report.

So lawnewz (awesome source by the way) calls it a "center right think tank" and you take that as "conservative think tank"?



Also, this is your "conservative" think tank, the brookings institute.

LEFT-CENTER BIAS These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation

A thorough explanation of the facts and case law surrounding the investigation into Trump's alleged obstruction of justice?

Yes, it's finally a topic on the PT board.

Brookings is not "center right." Not even close.

Why do you have to lie in your thread title. Is it because you're a democrat or just a liar by nature?

I see no one is even talking about what's in the report.

But, I guess what is there to say, it's all there.
