“The special counsel’s investigators have told Mr. Trump’s lawyers they are examining the tweets under a wide-ranging obstruction-of-justice law beefed up after the Enron accounting scandal, according to the three people,” The Times wrote. “The investigators did not explicitly say they were examining possible witness tampering, but the nature of the questions they want to ask the president, and the fact that they are scrutinizing his actions under a section of the United States Code titled ‘Tampering With a Witness, Victim, or an Informant,’ raised concerns for his lawyers about Mr. Trump’s exposure in the investigation.”

Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani claimed it was all nonsense, saying that because Trump’s statements were public, they’re not obstruction.

“If you’re going to obstruct justice, you do it quietly and secretly, not in public,” he said.

Trump has attacked not only Comey but even called his own Attorney General “weak” for not going after the Democratic Party or Hillary Clinton. He’s also claimed that the Democrats are the ones that colluded with Russia because their server was hacked.

1. Boy, he's really trying to stretch the imaginations

of those who have none.

[Snellius]

2. So if he shots someone on Fifth Ave, it's not murder?

But if he does it where no one will ever know about it, it is?

3. "If you're going to obstruct justice, you do it quietly and secretly, not in public," he said ...

... as he obstructed justice loudly and openly in public ...

... he said the same thing about marrying cousins, too ...

4. Is this Rudy's attempt at some kind of Jedi mind trick?

"This is not the obstruction you were looking for."

5. Good gawd... It is sooooo hard to believe he was EVER a competent lawyer (or even "competent")

6. How did this moron ever get a law degree?

7. That is pathetic.

If that is their defense then they are truly sinking. "Your honor, I know my client is on video with the gun holding up the bank, but do you think that he would be dumb enough to not wear a mask?"

Trump is too much of an impulsive child to refrain from making his intentions known. If his legal team can't get him to refrain from admitting his guilt then they should consider whether the money is worth them selling their souls. I know for Giuliani it's birds of a feather so if he wants to go down with the ship, so be it.

8. Remember, he's not addressing a judge or a jury; this is for the benefit of the base

Trump's base will accept any explanation, no matter how incoherent or misguided. As long as someone gives them a reason not to be concerned, they will ignore it for time immemorial and believe it's just politics.
