If true, this is obstruction of justice, suborning perjury, & conspiracy to lie to Congress. Individual-1 will no longer be just an unindicted co-conspirator—he will be a criminal. washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/01…
Sometimes the cover-up is worse than the crime: Nixon encouraged witnesses to make false statements under oath. The evidence is remarkably similar here.
Even by AG nominee Barr's extremely narrow definition—it would be illegal for the president to direct a witness to lie under oath—this is obstruction of justice, plain & simple.
I will be taking Mr. Barr up on his offer to meet & demanding an ironclad commitment to release the Mueller report itself, not some watered down summary that he redacts & writes. The American people deserve to know the truth.
