The White House Is Worried Mueller Will Bust Trump For Obstruction Of Justice


The White House doesn’t know what Mueller has, but they are worrying that he is going to bust Trump for obstruction of justice.

The White House is worried about obstruction of justice

The Washington Post‘s Robert Costa told MSNBC, “The mindset on the Russia collusion front is pretty vague because they’re not really sure inside of this White House what Robert Mueller has found along with his investigators. What they’re more cognizant about is the obstruction side of the investigation, and they know so many White House aides and administration officials have been pulled before Robert Mueller‘s team to talk about the president’s conduct, and that’s where some of the worry is among my top sources. What’s going to be detailed about obstruction of justice, alleged obstruction of justice in this Mueller report? Could that really be something beyond the Russia questions that threatens this presidency?”

Along with abuse of power. I think the evidence for both of those counts is pretty iron-clad. Trump should be worried.

Trump is his own weak link the more he lies and protests the more it calls attention to himself. Do normal people act like him?

comments and Tweets. Much more evidence is being uncovered that we cannot see.

The question is, if he has nothing to hide and has done nothing wrong, why would he need to obstruct justice?

He is obviously as guilty of Hell in cheating in every way possible to win the election, including colluding with Russia.

Let Putin provide him with retirement. Why should we respect a known traitor? Get this fuck face out of my sight.

The ones that are dirty have nothing to gain by voting to convict. Doing so will just eliminate their chance of a pardon from Trump.

Against Trump for obstruction of justice.

Each time he tweets, speaks, or rallies, they add a count. God knows where he stands right now, but it's got to be in the thousands.
