Former US attorney Preet Bharara: Theres absolutely evidence that Trump obstructed justice

Source: Raw Story

Former New York U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara told ABC News on Sunday that there is “absolutely evidence” to begin an investigation into whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice.

During an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Bharara said that evidence provided by former FBI Director James Comey’s suggested that Trump illegally tried to influence an investigation into Russia’s interference in the U.S. election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign.

“There is absolutely evidence to begin a case,” Bharara explained. “No one knows right now whether there is a provable case of obstruction… [but] there’s no basis to say there’s no obstruction.”

Bharara also recounted how he was fired by Trump after refusing to take an “inappropriate” phone call from the president.

Whatever 'our' rules, we should not mislead in this manner.

Former U.S. attorney Preet Bharara on Sunday said he thinks there is evidence to start a case for obstruction of justice against President Trump.

"I think there's absolutely evidence to begin a case -- I think it's very important for all sorts of armchair speculators in the law, to be clear that no one knows right now whether there is a provable case of obstruction," he said on ABC's "This Week."

"It's also true...that there's no basis to say there's no obstruction."

Bharara also said during the interview that there is evidence from someone who is under oath that "on at least one occasion, the president of the United States, cleared the room of his vice president and his attorney general and told his director of the FBI that he should essentially drop the case against his former national security adviser."

Everything may have gone under the radar if the big orange goofus didn't do stupid shit like publicly encourage Russia to hack Hillary's emails, or admit that he fired Comey BECAUSE of the Russian investigation. Or leave so many breadcrumbs to follow in regards to meetings between his own appointed people and Russians.
