Comey: It 'sure looks like' evidence is there to prosecute Trump

Source: The Hill

Former FBI Director James Comey said Thursday that "it sure looks like" there is enough evidence to prosecute President Trump for obstruction of justice based on details laid out in special counsel Robert Mueller's report.

When asked by CNN anchor Anderson Cooper during a town hall whether the evidence was there to prosecute Trump, Comey responded, “It sure looks like it’s there with respect to at least a couple of those episodes of obstruction.”

Comey, a vocal Trump critic, maintained that there is "no doubt" that Trump would have been charged with obstruction of justice if he were not the president. When asked whether Trump should be prosecuted after his time in office, Comey said the Justice Department would have to take a "serious look" at that.

CNN held its town hall with Comey on the 2-year anniversary of his firing from the FBI by Trump. That firing was one of 10 instances laid out in the Mueller report as possible obstruction of justice on the part of the president.

overtime to try and bury the report.
Trump because he knows it would lead to impeachment and jail and Mitch is trying to prevent it from coming out to try and protect his majority as the blowback on the Repugnants would be fierce at the polls.
