THREAD: the DoJ may be able to indict trump for obstruction of justice because of Bob Mueller. We just learned that the DoJ under Merrick Garland has reached an agreement on the testimony of Don McGahn. 1/ politico.com/news/2021/05/1…

We don’t know what the agreement is, but we know it was made without consulting trump, and that he isn’t party to the agreement. Plus, @tedlieu has tweeted that he looks forward to McGahn answering their questions. So it seems there’ll be testimony. 2/

Many are concerned McGahn will simply “not recall” anything, but that will be considerably difficult given the documented depositions taken by Mueller and outlined in his report. Many asked why Mueller bothered with the investigation if he knew he wasn’t going to indict trump 3/

Mueller responded that it was necessary to document the evidence and take testimony while everything was fresh in the minds of the witnesses. That’s about to come in very fucking handy, wouldn’t you say? 4/

Many others said Mueller failed b/c he refused to say that trump criminally obstructed justice. The fact that he didn’t is also about to pay off. Had Mueller accused trump of a crime w/o trump being able to defend himself in a court of law, Donnie would walk free on appeal 5/

Finally, many were upset that mueller didn’t follow the money. Had he, he could have been fired, and we wouldn’t have the supporting evidence to properly question McGahn 2 years later 6/

So if congress makes a criminal referral of obstruction to THIS attorney general based on McGahn’s testimony with the supporting evidence in the Mueller report, we could see an indictment - or four - of the former guy. All because Mueller “failed”. END

NEW: the McGahn agreement is out. As I suspected, the Mueller report is the key. I know you’re probably upset that this won’t be public, but it doesn’t need to be if Garland does the right thing. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2070…
