The President ordered White House Counsel Don McGahn to falsify evidence and threatened to fire him if he did not comply. This is a clear violation of 18 U.S. Code § 1503.

18 U.S. Code § 1512: "Whoever knowingly corruptly persuades another person, or attempts to do so with intent to influence, delay, or prevent the testimony of any person in an official proceeding shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both."

Trump and his counsel suborned Cohen's perjury in Congress, a violation of "18 U.S. Code § 1505. Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees."

So yes. The President committed crimes of obstruction

Did you know that Robert Mueller is a lifelong Republican and that he was appointed by a lifelong Republican who in turn was appointed by Donald Trump?

If "Yes" go to embedded tweet.
If "No" go to next tweet.

It's true. Mueller has been a Republican his entire life. He was appointed by Rod Rosenstein, who has also been a Republican his entire life. Rod Rosenstein was handpicked by Donald Trump.
Since now you know that Robert Mueller is not a hardened Democrat, I am sure you will have no trouble with the assertion made on the embedded tweet.

Joe Biden has praised segregationists & James Eastlands for 40 yrs. But it’s MUCH worse. Joe & Strom Thurmond are co-authors of mass incarceration & Crime/Drug Bills in 82/84/86/88.

Joe’s friendships w/Old Jim Crow IS what created New Jim Crow. Want context? Receipts? A thread:
“If you have a piece of crack-cocaine no bigger than a quarter, we passed a law thru leadership of Sen. Thurmond & myself that says u go to jail for 5 yrs. No probation. Judge doesn’t have a choice”

Biden praises Strom 2nd time & lauds death penalty 4 major drug dealers/2
In same 1991 speech Joe Biden lauds his creation of civil forfeiture laws & flat-time sentencing. His goal is shami Bush as not as tough as he & Strom.

“We changed the law so that.. the gov’t can take everything you own. Your car, your house, bank account... Everything”/3

35 Questions for Bob Mueller

I teamed up with the great @AshaRangappa_ and @jgeltzer.

We came up with a list of questions the public has a right to know.

That's in addition to the 60 excellent questions from Senate Judiciary Committee Dems.

justsecurity.org/64137/what-con… <thread>
2. Think of our 35 questions as a supplement.

Here's a link to the 60 questions for Bob Mueller from the Senate Judiciary Committee Dems:

feinstein.senate.gov/public/_cache/…

What follows is a sample of some of the 35 questions that @jgeltzer @AshaRangappa_ and I came up with ...
3. Arguably the most important question on our list for Mueller is about missing counterintelligence analysis and why Congress has not been adequately briefed by Mueller/FBI.

For more background, read this important @pbumpinterview with @RepAdamSchiff:

Here’s why Andrew Weismann is almost certainly the driving force behind Mueller’s embrace of a legally dubious theory of Obstruction of Justice, targeting @RuleDonaldTrump

(BIG) THREAD)
A redacted version of the Mueller report will be released on Thursday morning and “Obstruction” is likely to be at least half, and maybe even the bulk of the report. Here’s why Weissmann (and Mueller's) entire legal case is bunk.Warning: grab a coffee, this is a long one.
Mueller’s legal theory on Obstruction appears to be that Trump may have criminally violated 18 USC §1512 (c) by “corruptly...influencing” or “impeding” the FBI investigations into Flynn and Russian interference in the 2016 election

Decided to explore this angle more. No longer blinded by stupid theories, it is becoming more evident that the Russia Investigation is more Gen Flynn heavy than what is to be believed.
From the article, Trump had asked his lawyers if it was appropriate to contact Gen Flynn. They said no.

Zaid and Moss were both quoted saying that the president should stay as far away as possible. thedailybeast.com/white-house-la…

1) James Comey , What you refused to notice because you are programmed to hate him

5 Things he knew and we did not for 11 months AFTER he gave his famous Presser on Hillary's email case July 5th 2016.

You all have herd this stuff , but not in a time line which gives us context
2) April 2016 Adm Rogers is alerted the "About Query" is being misused. Rogers testified the first thing I did was Alert FBI Dir Comey. When asked why , He stated. The FBI is the only agency with investigative powers
(Per Rogers testimony March 20 2017)
3) Comey was instructed by Loretta Lynch to call the Email case "A matter". The "Same" term the Clinton Campaign was using. Additionally his own conclusions about the case were altered by DOJ/FBI people.

Here's every line of argument that Trump and his allies have made about the Russia investigation:
1. Russia didn't meddle in the 2016 election. "I don’t believe they interfered." ti.me/2kobNJg
2. Someone meddled, but it might not be Russia. "It may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer." bit.ly/2GKDAML
