    But putting arcane legal arguments in front of a jury isn’t a winning strategy.

    It must involve murder or attempted murder, physical force or attempt at physical force, hinder, delay or prevent some action.

    To claim Brennan tampered with a witness or obstructed justice would mean any citizen who gave a similar opinion would be guilty of the same crime.

    This is a big stretch to claim Brennan did anything wrong. It is like many of our posters who make accusations of treason that are not even close to the real thing.

I was one of those saying he should've fired Mueller. In hindsight, I was wrong. By not firing Mueller, he has all the political capital he'll ever need to counter investigate. Now that he has released the Kraken (declassified), the Dems are quivering in their wadin' boots. Looks like Nadler literally stroked out the other day, lol.

    That’s a better argument if Brennan were a John Doe citizen and not a former Director—who could still hold sway over people in the agency and ‘hinder’ them from cooperating with Barr.

    If I were his lawyer I’d counsel against making such statements—particularly, in light of the legal exposure Brennan has already.

    Right.

    But only if you want to make a pathetically weak indictment. Mullet apparently thought better of if.

    *Thinking* Democrats in the House know it would never fly as well. You might notice they aren’t having the impeachment vote lol.

    I don't know if it;'s actual obstruction or not, but it's Brennan running scared.
    the Creep has been running his mouth from the safety of the sidelines on CNN where he lets his bile flow

    It’s certainly not actual obstruction.

    But threadbare legal arguments in support of obstruction are in vogue now and I think they should be applied equally across the board lol.

    throw the book at the Creeps - they have also damaged our foreign policy and Trump's ability to even talk to Putin

    It’s Memorial Day weekend.

    By July the Horowitz report should be out and whatever Barr and Durham have [or don’t have] should soon follow. So by Fall books should be slung.

    But I’m still waiting to see.

    Impeach away and virtually guarantee that Trump will be re-elected!! Democrats are so shortsighted, seemingly driven by illogic and emotion.

    Better go tell Mullet that he should have made that decision then.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
