Vol. II lays out the factual findings from the Mueller investigation regarding obstruction of justice.
A few comments about “facts” and “evidence.” Not all evidence is admissible in court.

There are a few problems with piecing together the story from news reporting—which I did, and lots of others, too. We wanted to connect the dots.
Also, something can look really bad in a news article, but when the source is cross-examined, the “evidence” can fall apart.
The next best thing: “facts” given in a Report like this one, which come from a two year investigation, and have been tested & corroborated.
But it’s the version of they story supported by a two year investigation.
He directs people to lie.
In Vol. II we see examples of people refusing to lie, and being driven out or fired.
that the people who stay in Trump’s orbit are those willing to lie for him.
It’s also clear that Trump is running the show. He directs the lies. He seeks to control the media narrative.
In other words, for Trump, it’s all a show.
I boiled about 125 pages of narrative from Vol. II down to a 10 page summary, but it’s still too much to tweet, so I put it on a blog page.

If you read the Report, you can see IRAC in action.
Remember IRAC is the method of legal analysis known to law students everywhere.
💠Issue
💠Rule
💠Analysis
💠Conclusion
For “Rule” we use the elements of obstruction of justice, which are:
💠 an obstructive act
💠 a nexus between the obstructive act and an official proceeding
💠 a corrupt intent.
Mueller Does IRAC!
