'It's kind of quite spectacular in terms of the amount of, let's call it, attempted obstruction of justice which the president was involved in.' Kevin Rudd says of Donald Trump. | Exclusive

An Australian prime minister would be forced from office if they commited just a fraction of the questionable acts US President Donald Trump was accused of in the Mueller report, according to former prime minister Kevin Rudd.Rudd, who currently lives in New York, said special counsel Robert Mueller had presented "quite spectacular" evidence of Trump attempting to obstruct justice in his 448-page report.

As President of the Asia Society Policy Institute, Rudd has praised some of Trump's efforts to force China to bring its trade practices into line with international norms., instructed his subordinates to lie and tried to cover-up the real reason for an infamous 2016 meeting between senior members of his campaign and a Russian lawyer., few Republicans in Congress have spoken out against Trump since the report's release, highlighting the polarised nature of modern American politics.

"While our views range from proceeding to investigate the findings of the Mueller report or proceeding directly to impeachment, we all firmly agree that we should proceed down a path of finding the truth,” Pelosi said in a letter to congressional Democrats."Whether currently indictable or not, it is clear that the president has, at a minimum, engaged in highly unethical and unscrupulous behavior which does not bring honour to the office he holds.

Before the report was released, Pelosi said that she opposed impeachment because it would be too divisive and that Trump was "not worth it".

Rudd IS A complete dickhead responsible for wasting billions of dollars of taxpayers money. How can anyone even compare this fool to Trump

For as respected as she is over there, how long would a Pelosi last in Australia saying her opponent's 'not worth' challenging?!? If Trump's blatant attempts to obstruct investigations don't justify an impeachment hearing, what would?

Charles Kingsford Smith has said nelly 💯 year ago, something that no Australian should be proud of: That Australia is the country when one day you are celebrated as a KING 👑, and next day you are weeping BAL.He was 101 % right. Because Australians can’t think 🤔 for themselves

The dead hand having written, moved on

So he attempted to obstruct an enquiry an exonerated him?....really?....you guys are shameless in cherry picking loony quotes to push an elitist (your advertisers) political agenda.

Kevin Rudd now providing opinions? Most failed PM in the history of Australian politics. Is he an American lawyer now? Corrupt leftist who after ruining Australia should keep his mouth shut

Bull

Not sure that's true anymore based on current events in the Australian political system.

Is that why your own party kicked you out Kev?

Basically...the US is fucked...and Australia should not rely on ANZUS to protect it...we will need new friends...

An Aus PM doesn’t even have to do anything to be voted out of office 😔

Seems like he doesn't like Trump, how many PM did Australia have, and why did they have to GO.

Trump must be really worried about the ramblings of Australian worst PM

Good Ol Kev😣😣😣 Still hanging round like a bad labor smell😷😷😷

I just love how all the Trumpwits tumble out on these stories.

Don’t know what planet this little pip-squeak is on but he’s got it completely wrong! Obama, Clinton and the other crooked Democrats are behind this farce! The tables are about to be turned! Rudd the Dud, hasn’t changed! He’s an imbecilic fool.

If K Rudd must commentate on world leaders go pick one from the bottom 20 of Freedom Internationals list of appalling dumps. USA is far from what needs fixing in this world.

Was found not guilty. More leftie melts about trump. No wonder he will walk in the 2020 election

Kev is as relevant today as he ever been 😄

Rudd, what a clown.
