See Mueller’s Damning Criminal Obstruction Evidence Against Trump | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

Though Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not charge Trump with obstructing justice, his report reads like a roadmap to arrive at that conclusion. The report lists 10 key incidents analysed as potential obstruction by Trump- some ending with Mueller giving Trump the benefit of the doubt, and others with Mueller detailing the case against Trump. MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber discusses how you don’t have to succeed at obstruction to commit obstruction of justice.

I like presidents better when they aren't criminals.

[isabellamagazine]

I'll ask again, how do you close the question of conspiracy without questioning Don Jr and Prince?

[civil_villain]

Ari - EVERYONE - quit softening your language. Don't use phrasing like, "...not quite right..." or any other euphemisms. Just call it a lie. Call them liars and call out their lies. Way past time to abandon the civilized sugarcoating on these people.

Bill Barr is NOT a convincing liar! He reminds me of the old cartoon character Droopy Dog.

JUSTICE is Coming when do birds sing ? in the spring

[kaiza]

And don't forget, the Mueller report didn't even touch Trump's financial crimes, that investigation is still ongoing ;)

"If this body [Congress] determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role . . . because impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.”-Lindsey Graham-1999.

[darrylguy]

I'm surprised if that had been obama there would
Not be all this song and dance he would have been impeached
Already, Trump is a crook and con man, Bill Clinton was a Angel
Compared to Trump

3:27 "substantial evidence of obstruction of justice"

[kimmcdonagh]

If Dem. House has 2 options:
(1) do nothing: almost certainly a blue wave in 2020....better legislation & responsible govt.
-or-
(2) impeach Trump; (need Senate vote to REMOVE Trump from office); unable to remove impeached Trump; risk having public opinion turn against them & losing 2020.

Which do you think would be the better route? (I totally think that impeaching Trump is RIGHT...but maybe not expedient.)

[gingernightmare]

If Trump is allowed to walk away with this it sets a dangerous precedence. Before Congress will begin impeachment proceedings the people have to be behind it. Republican senators have to worry about reelection. Write to your Senators several times. Also the entire report without redactions is available. 🎈

And now we have a skunk with his head stuck in a jar of peanut butter

[aquaticborealis]

Rosenstein needs to be subpoenaed. He needs to explain his role in Comey's firing and the Barr summary

[martinwinther]

Why isnt anyone focusing on the sentence " he was mostly unsuccesfull in the effort of obstructing justice" ?? Mostly means there was SOME succesfull attempt to obstruct justice. What does that implicate?? Is that the reason a conspiracy crime couldnt be established???

[dyvel]

I'd love to see Trump collude with his advisors once in a while.

[Farah-nrkx]

Rosenstein looks like he knows he's sold his soul.

[charlesbronsin]

And that folks is what we call "spin" ...

[nishaann]

You can tell Rosenstein didn't help Barr conclude that the evidence developed by the Special Council is not sufficient to establish that the president committed obstruction of justice! Right when he said it Rosenstein looked disgusted! 7:40

[mrbillsrecords]

Impeachment is good if it weakens Trump into late 2020. If impeachment almost guarantees Trump's re-election, it's a bad thing. That is the choice here... imo.

[calkinakin]

Mueller desrves a medal and thanks from every american. what he was able to accomplish even with everything going on around him.
