House Judiciary chair: "It's very clear" Trump obstructed justice

House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), whose committee would be responsible for starting impeachment proceedings, told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Sunday that "it's very clear" President Trump obstructed justice.

"1,100 times he referred to the Mueller investigation as a 'witch hunt.' He tried to protect Flynn from being investigated by the FBI. He fired Comey in order to 'stop the Russia thing,' as he told NBC News. He's dangled pardons, he's intimidated witnesses in public."

— Nadler

The big picture: Nadler acknowledged that the committee is still a “long way” from impeachment and that it needs to be able to persuade the American people that impeachment is warranted — not just politically motivated. While it waits for special counsel Robert Mueller's report to be made public, Nadler said the committee will demand documents from more than 60 Trump associates, including Donald Trump Jr. and Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg.

1. How is it NOT exactly that?

2. even a blind man could see that...

The firing of James Comey, his admission on national TV that he did it because of the Russia investigation, the firing of Andrew McCabe, the attacks upon Rosenstein and Sessions and the Justice Dept, attacks upon the FBI and Intelligence organizations, attempted firing of the Special Counsel, the attacks upon our free press and institutions, the attempts to discredit a legal investigation by calling it a hoax and a witch hunt, etc....

It was all done to obstruct the Russian investigation.

3. He is still doing it!

Every time he opens his mouth he is spreading lies about the investigation and prosecute rs and that is obstruction. His own threats and encouraging his lackeys to threaten witnesses id obstruction as well.

5. 'House Judiciary chair: "It's very clear" Trump obstructed justice'

Yes it is – no doubt.

But that’s not the issue.

With Justice refusing to indict and the House unlikely to impeach, the responsibility to hold Trump accountable rests with the people who must vote Trump out of office next year the consequence of his crimes and corruption.
