1. And this is not interference?

Oh god. Can we please incarcerate this criminal.

2. One of the obstruction charges against Nixon was telling the FBI

not to go any further with the Watergate investigation.

What the hell is the difference?

3. Let's hope this becomes provable obstruction.

Sounds close enough to me, especially with the Comey removal and bragging about it to the Russians.

4. Of course he did!

I can't wait until his ass is arrested.

5. I bet that if someone looks they will find a connection between Trumps mean tweets about McConnel

And the timing of this request. No doubt that he got shut down and lashed out.

6. Obstruction of Justice.

7. Since Congress is not in his domain like the Justice Department, does that not make it obstruction?

This sort of seems like a defendant asking a prosecutor to drop the case but maybe there is more to this than it seems (apart from a pattern of behavior).

8. This alone should be grounds for impeachment.

Imagine if Hillary or Obama had done this.

9. Lock him up!

NOW

10. Watch out, Devin.

Devin Nunes may very well be charged (by Mueller) with Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice. He conspired with Trumpy and a handful of others to nullify the House Intelligence Investigation with his various stunts and maneuvers.

11. Trump is committing obstruction of Justice. A pattern for the crook.
