OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE: THUGS break into 'Grand Jury Room' and threaten National Security

as well as violating their own oaths of office.

Shameful organized obstruction with party leadership approval.

How much of this was organized and approved by Individual One?

Supposedly Trump knew. There was a meeting yesterday with a bunch of Republicans including Steve Scalise at the White House. And Raw Story makes the claim that this event had been on the Republicans' calendar for a week. So it was planned and Trump knew about it, if these sources are accurate.

He made them do it to prove their loyalty, and to send a message that this is what he expects from GOPers. Sacrifice yourself for him.

There were armed Officers with AK 47's.....they were guarding the Speaker of the House's Office......so...maybe they need a few for the " Grand Jury Room"?

They seemed to have dwindled down to the nothings they are. No good press op of being arrested.

Deposition resumed.
