Re: whether certain GOP'ers have broken the law by Obstructing Justice with Mueller's investigation

[Maraya1969]

We've talked about this on this forum before. Now the Wahington Post weighs in and their answer is a resounding 'YES"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Post reports on the resolution introduced by 11 members of the House Freedom Caucus to impeach — yes, impeach — Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein:

Mind you, there has been no finding that Rosenstein is in contempt of Congress or that he has broken any regulation or law. The impeachment resolution is pure piffle. (“A Justice Department official said Wednesday that only one committee request has been formally denied — a demand to see the unredacted Justice Department memo detailing which Trump associates are under investigation by Mueller and for which potential crimes. Officials declined that request because, they said, providing it could compromise ongoing investigations.”) Not even House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) thinks that the resolution has merit.

If anyone in the White House is conspiring with them to interfere with the investigation, such individuals could be investigated for obstruction of justice.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So that would include all these knuckleheads who made up this impeachment resolution and others like Devin Nunes.

1. Oh shit. Does this just mean that the White House people would be guilty of obstruction and not the

congress ass hats? I read it like they were finally going to be held accountable for their abominable behavior.


Are they ever held to account for their abominable behavior?

2. I think a lot of them think they are bulletproof because of the speech or debate clause...

but if someone is going to go over the line beyond which that immunity fails, it would be knuckleheads like Meadows, Jordan, and Nunes.

3. That clause is exempted in the case of Treason or Felony. Obstruction of Justice is a Felony

I think and it is a felony trying to protect a treason.

I just think they are committing crimes right in front of the American people, just like the fucking president.
