"It's now an obstruction investigation"

[Faun]

Well, Napolitano is a libertarian former judge who now works for Fox.

Not sure how much legal faith you want to put into his opinion.
.

Where he works is irrelevant. The man either has integrity or he doesn't

LOL

Didn’t he get banned from Fox for a period of time?

Dunno. I don't follow Fox close enough to know who does or doesn't work there. I watch the AM and late afternoon news. Not much beyond that unless something big is going on like the Vegas shooting

The man has little integrity, if any...

Fox News Sidelines Andrew Napolitano After Wiretap Allegation

And it turned out he was correct!

Sure, Sparky. Sure.

Wasn’t that the strategy all along?

I thought it was about finding evidence of collusion, no?

Obama’s meddling in foreign affairs could be violation of Logan Act | | Media Equalizer

Byron York: Lame-Duck Obama Abused Logan Act to Damage Trump - Breitbart


The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized persons with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States. The intent behind the Act is to prevent unauthorized negotiations from undermining the government's position.[2] The Act was passed following George Logan's unauthorized negotiations with France in 1798, and was signed into law by President John Adams on January 30, 1799. The Act was last amended in 1994, and violation of the Logan Act is a felony.

Only two people have ever been indicted for violating the Act's provisions.[3] However, no person has ever been convicted of violating the Act.[4] Logan Act - Wikipedia

Why is Donald Trump being roasted for using a key Kennedy tactic?
It is much worse than you thought. Not only have members of the president’s immediate family been secretly talking to Russia. I can also reveal that the president is a serial philanderer who is compulsively unfaithful to his wife. He suffers from severe medical problems, which he and his staff are concealing from the press. One of his mistresses is also romantically involved with a notorious gangster. Kremlin back channels worked just fine for JFK | Niall Ferguson | Journalism

Has Russian "meddling" favorable for Trump been proven?

Um, yeah. 17 Agencies said they did..

Did I read that right....You don't have a problem with illegal foreigners voting in U.S. elections?

Not much of one. They live here. The concept of "illegal" immigration is a false concept, anyway.

Of course, we don't let any immigrants vote. We probably should. We should also let people who've been convicted of crimes but served their time vote.

DJT campaigned to win states because that's how the presidential election works...

Oh, Please. Trump never expected to win. That's kind of obvious in the fact that we are nearly a year in and half the appointments to lower level departments haven't been filled in yet.

The same 17 agencies that your boy Clapper called bullshit on?
Clapper Confirms: "17 Intelligence Agencies" Russia Story Was False
Clapper Confirms: "17 Intelligence Agencies" Russia Story Was False

"The concept of "illegal" immigration is a false concept, anyway.
Of course, we don't let any immigrants vote. We probably should. We should also let people who've been convicted of crimes but served their time vote."

Like the concept of pedophilia is a false concept?
You people can't read comments like this and wonder why the Right owns all of D.C. can you?
The Left shits on the Constitution every chance they get and legit Americans are completely aware of it now.
What part of that shithole Mexico are you from Joe...and how long have you been ******* REAL Americans over?

Meh, you don't do it because you win elections or voters, buddy. You do it because your rich sugar daddies spend a lot of money..

The Left shits on the Constitution every chance they get and legit Americans are completely aware of it now.

Guy, "legit" Americans are dumb ass rednecks in Jesusland who vote against their own economic interests.

What part of that shithole Mexico are you from Joe...and how long have you been ******* REAL Americans over?

Sorry, man, I know you live in mortal fear of Mexicans, but most Mexiccans i've met are the nicest people ever.

On the other hand, I really can't stand to be in the same room with dumb-ass white trash from the South.

Flynn's Secret Texts Reveal Trump Collusion: Experts
The former national security adviser texted a former business partner that sanctions against Russia would be "ripped up" as soon as Trump took office, according to whistleblower.

 

[dannyboys]

JoeMoma, Comey said Trump's team was under investigation.

Okay.. then get the impeachment hearing rolling...... what's the hold up?

the hold up on obstruction is that they are still working on the Russia interference investigation and there is more to find out...charging him with obstruction of an official investigation right now, will only distract from the investigation and distract from getting to the bottom of it.

There is much more to find out on the Russia investigation. Just need to get past the Obama/Clinton obstructionists.

simply faux news that you bought in to....that was meant to distract from the Russian investigation in to interfering with our election process.

Apparently you don't understand plain english.
"interfering" doesn't mean the same thing as "Collusion" .......asshole!
Wise up!
Mulliers team of 'Blue Chip' hillary lovers/Trump haters was set up to investigate 'collusion'. When that bullshit hoax fell through they changed the name to: "Obstruction". When that bullshit hoax fell through they changed the name to: 'Interference'.
Mullier has spent 6.7 MILLION taxpayer dollars to find **** all.
Next week the new name for the bullshit hoax will be: 'Anyone in the Trump orbit who has ever had a bowl of beet soup'.

 

[dannyboys]

This is pretty interesting. The Trumpsters may be right that the collusion story is fading, but they may have bigger things to worry about. It would be easier to prove obstruction, especially considering the way Trump just can't keep his tweet shut:

It Is Now an Obstruction Investigation

Obstruction itself is a process crime — i.e., it relates to interference in the investigation of an underlying transaction that may or may not be criminal. In the first point, above, we noted that prosecutors generally do not let a cooperator settle a case by pleading guilty to a mere process crime. But if the main case the prosecutor is trying to build is itself a process crime, such as obstruction, then it is not all that damaging that the witnesses have pled guilty only to process crimes.

The theme of such a prosecution is that the investigative process must be protected, not that some terrible underlying crime (like an espionage conspiracy) has been committed. Witnesses such as Flynn and Papadopoulos would therefore not be made to look like they had gotten a pass on serious offenses; they would look like they had owned up to corrupting the process and are now helping the prosecutor against the principal corruption target.
.

According to one of Gropenfuherer’s lawyers, the collusion is all but admitted to. Obstruction too. The new line of defense is “yeah but those things are legal”.

"all but".
You're an idiot!

"The president cannot obstruct justice because he is the chief law enforcement officer under [the Constitution's Article II] and has every right to express his view of any case.” ~ Trump Lawyer John Dowd

"For something to be a crime, there has to be a statute that you claim is being violated. There is not a statute that refers to criminal collusion. There is no crime of collusion." ~ Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow

The "it didn't happen" argument has been abandoned and replaced with "it's not a crime".

the FBI investigation is to Investigate the Russian Interference in our election process and the possible coordination with the Trump campaign to do such.

The FBI investigation is well within its remit.

Those who oppose it need to be investigated ~~ carefully in all their affairs.

NO!!!!!
Muller's mandate was to investigate any "collusion" between Trump and or his campaign.
Read the ******* documents!
Anyway Muller's team of Trump haters have destroyed any possibility now of a fair investigation.
This week MORE of Muller's Trump hater LIB investigators are going to be exposed.
This will end Muller's investigation.

 

[JakeStarkey]

dannyboys, yes.

Mueller is within his remit. It says that he is to follow wherever the investigation takes him.

It's obvious you have not read the remit.

wishful thinking.

The thing is, the investigation is going to lead to where it leads. Trump is hip deep in with the Russians and everyone knows it.
