He can get investigated and charged for both, right? Obstruction on this scale is probably big enough for impeachment alone.

Obstruction under normal circumstances is what gets presidents. See: Johnson, Nixon, Clinton.

 

[Wet Bloodfart]

Feels like Mueller is going to get fired very soon.

 

[Palette Swap]

I want to believe this is Mueller baiting shit out of Muppet.

Watch as Ryan then claims this is entrapment.

HAHAHA Lets go

Mueller fired in 5... 4... 3...

The White House insiders have to be going insane because they know how bad it would be but then Trump turns on TV and all he sees on Foxnews is Fire Mueller!!!

 

[h1nch]

Still think the absolute best case scenario is that this investigation plays out over the next 1-2 yrs and more and more details continue to steadily trickle out leading up to the midterm elections.

The only way Trump would get impeached is with a Democrat-controlled Congress.

 

[KernelPanic]

Trump will contact Mueller and ask if he can settle lol.

To do that he'd have to fire Rosenstein, then fire everyone in the chain of command until he finds someone who would do it for him.

Yup, Murdoch's been priming this for a week now.

Here's a Wired article about Mueller's assembled team, which includes names that should scare Trump and anyone associated with him (particularly business partners), and goes in depth on one former FBI agent's history, including a time he and his partner wound up going undercover as immigration officiasl in South Africa in order to catch a terrorist suspect.

The one that should spook Trump the most however is the expert on money laundering cases, Lisa Page, who has even overseen cases into Eastern European crooks' money laundering specifically, including one connected to Paul Manafort in Ukraine.

You think Trump wouldn't do that?

 

[Kurdel]

Awesome!

 

[Felix Lighter]

Yeah, this was leaked to elicit a response by Trump.

You think Trump wouldn't do that?

There is little evidence Mueller could provide that would be more convincing that Trump obstructed justice than Trump firing half the DOJ to fire Mueller. If the GOP Congress doesn't impeach after that, then nothing Mueller would have presented would have done the job either.

 

[CHC]

Good.

I'd like to see someone like Hannity shut down because Trump is actually charged/found guilty of something.

There is literally no outcome of this investigation after which people like Hannity will change their tune. It will always be the work of some corrupt shadow organization, not the fact that Trump is a bold-faced criminal.

Hannity and his audience have a disgusting and codependent relationship. As such, the only way he'll ever alter his rhetoric is if his audience is fed up with Trump. Then it'll be a sudden and dramatic shift once he finds a new icon to fellate.

 

[lightning2k3]

I only wish that Comey had announced the president wasn't currently under investigation so that would have a duty to correct that now.

 

[Plinko]

Trump had received private assurances from former FBI Director James B. Comey starting in January that he was not personally under investigation. Officials say that changed shortly after Comey’s firing.

This is my favorite part.

nothing will come from this

Just like nothing will come of the Comey firing

Oh wait

 

[Kettch]

I can't wait until Trump is asked how he feels about being personally under investigation.

 

[Darksol]

This is my favorite part.

Ditto

Easiest charge ever.

They'll bring back "Deep State" as the word of the week. That term didn't really have staying power as a term like Death Panel.

I would recommend betting against me.

 

[Shao Kahn on the Lawn]

That became a lot more difficult as of yesterday.

 

[theWB27]

Clearly leaked to provoke a response which would seal the investigation on obstruction. Checkers bitches.

Chuckled at this

 

[iBeleaf]

So when can we expect an public update from Mueller?

 

[Krakatoa]

Happy birthday!

lol perfect

 

[BlueTsunami]

Its like he's following the bullet points.

Lol were they saving this for his bday

I refuse to believe the timing of this leak is coincidental. Happy Birthday, dipshit.

People said firing Comey would be nearly impossible. Nothing is off the table for Donald.

 

[Skinny Pete]

He's gonna need 4 scoops with his birthday cake after this news. Sad!

 

[Ponn]

I can see it now, Trump is stupid enough to say something like Comey saying he wasn't under investigation means Mueller can't investigate him or something like that.

 

[Dead Prince]

32D chess

 

[Koomaster]

I have been absolutely HOWLING with laughter, omg! xD

 

[Maxim726X]

Hmm.

Still not sure there is a case, but if this was leaked to push the president to fire his DAG to fire Mueller...

Well played.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

But her emails?

 

[Plinko]

I refuse to believe the timing of this leak is coincidental. Happy Birthday dipshit.

Agreed. I'm not quite sure I understand it.

 

[KingV]

Investigators have also been looking for any evidence of possible financial crimes among Trump associates, officials said.
This is going to be real bad for some people.

I wonder if this is what will start to turn the tides. There might be some dudes who start to beg Congress to get Trump impeached to shut this down before it implicates them to.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

I refuse to believe the timing of this leak is coincidental. Happy Birthday, dipshit.

What do you mean? Oh you mean his birthday? bwahahaha.

 

[RustyNails]

Trump toadies can now stop saying he's not under an investigation.

 

[Lo-Volt]

https://twitter.com/KellyO/status/875120848436432896

But. Is he not confirming the leak is true by saying that? Trump has the worst fucking lawyers.

 

[Stinkles]

But Comey assured him THREE time's he wasn't personally under investigation!!!!

And those very conversations are likely acts of obstruction of justice.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

He is definitely going to fire Mueller now lol

 

[BlueTsunami]

Would be hilarious if he gets impeached for obstruction then Mueller comes in and files charges against him involving the Russian meddling as a normal citizen.
