Legislators have a responsibility to police obstruction of justice, according to the Constitution.

Asha Rangappa is senior lecturer at Yale Jackson Institute for Global Affairs and former special agent in the Counterintelligence Division of the FBI.

The argument for Congress’ obtaining Mueller’s full report on obstruction is typically based on its constitutional power to impeach: Since Congress alone has the power to take action against the president, if he has broken the law or abused his power—which is true if the Justice Department adheres to its policy of not indicting a sitting president, even if it is not settled law—Congress would by necessity need to see the evidence Mueller has gathered to determine if impeachment is warranted.

If you want to know if trump is compromised, talk to this longtime aide “who’s heard everything, and taken great notes,” said trump. But if she’s another John Barron, then the press is guilty of EMBARRASSING malpractice, and we need to know that, too

What about the plot to undermine a presidential campaign and a presidency? Coup SilentCoup

The last desperate hope of a demoralized party !

Hopeful idiots.

Anything other than the full report will not suffice, won’t work, can’t do it, won’t do it, forget about it.

Subpoena or go home.

StellaEwald It is becoming apparent that Trump and his legal aides have no concern for the obvious intent of certain legislation or even of the intents of the makers of our Constitution. We are in the midst of a reset of our governmental paradigm.

Given there was no underlying crime and no criminal act of obstruction (destroying evidence etc) and givenPOTUS’ Art 2 powers, any obstruction case is going to be very very weak and would never be pressed by Congress regardless of salacious details

Explain that to trump and Barr. They stance is that they are above the law and can exercise it in any way they please.

We all know Trump didn’t do anything wrong. It was a hoax and he called it out as a hoax and it was determined to be a hoax. Trump wins. You lose again. MAGA.

There is video of Trump doing exactly that. He has broken so any laws in public & gotten away with it. He was right when he said he could commit murder & today's GOP would cover up for him.

Congress needs to talk to Mueller as well.

It is the People’s report to begin with 🇺🇸🇺🇸

If there was no collusion and Muller said there wasn't, there was no obstruction, period. realDonaldTrump
