Former Justice Department head Sally Yates said that if Donald Trump were not president, he would have been indicted on obstruction charges in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
Mueller's report detailed several actions Trump took to impede the investigation but did not conclude whether those actions constituted the crime of obstruction.WASHINGTON - Former top Justice Department official Sally Yates said on Sunday that if Donald Trump were not president, he would have been indicted on obstruction charges in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
"I've personally prosecuted obstruction cases on far, far less evidence than this," Yates said."And yes, I believe, if he were not the president of the United States, he would likely be indicted on obstruction." The report cited attempts by Trump to thwart the Mueller investigation, as well as the president telling Russian officials he had faced"great pressure" from the probe but that it had been eased after he fired FBI Director James Comey.
I believe she should be indicted
Don’t understand why being President is any different than being common citizen. It’s just a different job. That’s where our problems begin. Normalize the role. Hold accountable where needed.
