    Good luck with that one. THE INDICTMENTS ARE GOING TO BE IN THE OVAL. And which Trump and how many indictments is the ONLY open question. WE all know that Trump knew most or all off it. All of it conducted on his BEHALF by his kids, Manafort, Stone, Cohen, Wikileaks, and the 'inner circle' of connected Russians. All of it! We're waiting for how much and the DETAILS of what Trump knew, and when he knew it!

    AND WHETHER HE WAS PASSIVE OR ASSERTIVE in the commission of those 'crimes'. He can be charged for KNOWING. And then OBSTRUCTION-- when everyone else started knowing and HE tried to "shut it down". His words.

    Stay tuned.

    What’s ‘deep’ is the irony: they’ve been searching for collusion for almost three years when there are gobs of it right under their noses.

    The collusion was a coordinated attempt to prevent the election of Donald Trump; and failing that, sabotaging his presidency if he got elected.

    And it’s so obvious you can literally state it as fact.
    Mullet is a political hack running a political hit squad

    he could hit Trump with Obstruction -i wouldn't put it past him.
    My guess though is he's piling up a lot of process crap to support a narrative of "Russian coordination"
    which is nothing -but give Dems shit to"investigate"

    They can't impeach Trump, so they will slime him for 2 years instead- hoping to damage him

    An obstruction charge is iffy, though.

    If it were a slam dunk it might be different but the president’s authority to fire agency directors is well within the law, obviously. And Comey was certainly fire-able. Hell, even democrats were calling for his scalp at one point.

    Besides, obstruction is where Mullet’s conflict of interest is at it worst: Rosenstein wrote a memo to Trump with the recommendation that he fire Comey, so Rosenstein would be a principle witness *while overseeing* an investigation into an obstruction investigation in which he played a crucial role. That’s what you call off the charts conflict of interest.

    Mullet’s personal relationship with Comey would certainly be problematic; and to top it off, Trump interviewed Mullet for the job as Director, and got turned down for it, before he was appointed as SP—to investigate Trump for obstruction of justice for firing Comey?!

    The conflicts are so bad some pundits think obstruction is off the table and I tend to agree.

    excellent points/ and overreach would damage the Dem's slimeing. So they will continue to "investigate" instead

    Now that's funny!! Comparing Schiff and Nunes is like comparing COHEN and MUELLER. Hack lawyers sucking up to a dishonest client--the SAME CLIENT-- vs. the best and brightest lawyers and honest brokers.

    when confronted with the Aspen conference photos of Schiff, in sport coat and open-neck dress shirt, and Simpson, wearing casual attire, representatives for both men tried to minimize their discussion, insisting nothing substantive about the Russia case was discussed.

    “In the summer of 2018, Mr. Simpson attended a media-sponsored social event where he exchanged small talk with Rep. Schiff and many other people who were in attendance,” Fusion GPS said in a statement to me. “The conversation between the two was brief and did not cover anything substantive. There has been no subsequent contact between Mr. Simpson and Rep. Schiff.”

    The congressman’s response was even more vague: “The chairman did not have any pre-planned meeting with Glenn Simpson, and any conversation with him at the Aspen conference would have been brief and social in nature,” Schiff spokesman Patrick Boland said.

    Translation: This was just a Forrest Gump-like moment in which the Democrats’ chief defender of the dossier and the man whose firm produced it met serendipitously.

    There is nothing illegal or technically improper about a congressman meeting, intentionally or unintentionally, with a witness in an investigation. At least not under the law or the House Intelligence Committee’s rules.

    But Schiff created a far higher standard two years ago when he demanded that his Republican counterpart on the committee, then-Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), be investigated for having meetings with national security council officials at the Trump White House without telling the committee. Schiff’s attacks led Nunes to temporarily recuse himself from the Russia probe.
    both GOP and Democratic officials on the committee, including some lawmakers, said there is no evidence that Schiff disclosed his contact with Simpson to committee members.

    Why doesn’t Schiff clear his own name and recuse? Schiff cares more about other things besides his integrity?
