You clearly don't understand how investigations work do you?


Actually, I would say that’s you.

Generally speaking, investigations don’t seek out crimes. A crime is committed, THEN an investigation commences, INVESTIGATING said crime (hence, the name).

After all, as much as I’m sure you’d like it to be, this isn’t Stalin’s/Beria’s Soviet Union, i.e., “show me a man, and I’ll show you the crime”. Doesn’t work that way here. Sorry.

You can be charged with obstruction while not committing a crime. Again you have no clue how this works. Let me help you. Investigations seek out crimes all the time! That's why they're investigations.

quote:

Obstruction of justice, in United States jurisdictions, is the crime of obstructing prosecutors or other (usually government) officials. Common law jurisdictions other than the United States tend to use the wider offense of perverting the course of justice.

Obstruction also applies to overt coercion of court or government officials via the means of threats or actual physical harm, and also applying to deliberate sedition against a court official to undermine the appearance of legitimate authority.





If Trump kept his mouth shut there's no obstruction

Judge Ellis called out the fake Manafort charges were to go after Trump. So Trump committed obstruction for speaking about how he heard it in the news?

Cool, TJ. Whatever. You win the interwebz for today, Mr. Hip-and-Edgy.

Good luck getting him removed from office.

I can't believe Leon would suggest such legal garbage as that.

Would imagine this is just in case the dems take the House and then source this as the cause for proceedings

Actually remove him from office?

You’re the only person that really believes this. I’m pretty sure you don’t even know how impeachment works.

Please tell us how any of those charges have anything to do with Trump or his campaign. If you can't then you are making up fake charges against Trump.

Stopped reading right there.

I 'suspect' that Leon Panetta hasn't been relevant in a very long time.

I also 'suspect' that TJGator1215 is a peter puffer, and has been for a very long time.

“They are getting very close to making a case for obstruction of justice not only by the steps that were taken in terms of the president demeaning and attacking a witch hunt, but also the fact that Rudy Giuliani himself has said that the whole purpose of their effort is to undermine the credibility of the special counsel, and then when you add to that the dismissal of those that were involved in the investigation, I think you begin to piece together the kind of case that could form around an obstruction of justice trial,” he said.


So talking to no one in particular constitutes obstruction now.

What a shitshow.

Panetta? I wouldn't trust him to tell the truth about whether it was raining or not after I watched him telling the hearings the pathetic reasons that we couldn't get to Benghazi in time.

Every bit as much a liar as BHO, who I also despise. Not to forget HRC. I could go on and on.

This type of nonsensical drivel only works on the weak minded who want it to be true.

Congrats.

And give yourself an upvote. Try to make it look respectable.

I watched Panetta this morning and he was stating his "facts" and supporting them with heavy doses of conjecture and speculation

what is funny to me is all of the sunday shows had the JV team on this morning. But all of the establishment heavy hitters were in town the day before. I realize it is a Holiday weekend but none of them stuck around to pay tribute to their dear friend and colleague "the maverick"
