From Mueller: Disputes total Trump exoneration claim
Tosses ball to Congress IAW Rules Mueller Followed
Trump says Mueller
totally cleared him of “collusion” (which is not a real crime) and obstruction justice
(which is a real crime).
Two short reminders of that:
Trump when Mueller report hit the news
From CBS news highlights from Mueller
Recent obstruction: Trump told former W/H counsel Don
McGahn to “Fire Sessions” then double-talked and lied about that.
Then Trump asked
Corey Lewandowski to deliver a letter to Sessions about being fired. (Note: Lewandowski
did not and also he did not tell Trump he didn’t), but all that was overhead by
Reince Priebus and Hope Hicks at the time.
Then later
another effort and suggestion by Trump to “remove Mueller” spoken to McGahn –
that followed (again) by another Trump denial about any instructions to McGahn to
lie about that, too.
Two related story sources:
Analysis
from the Washington Post (via MSN) from Glenn Kessler.
Specific
pages (74 to 97) in the Mueller Report from Just Security.
My 2 cents: Trump’s efforts to obstruct were not
only his major concern. But, about what Mueller found, or did not find.
Trump efforts are clearly outlined in Mueller report for
one purpose: Trump was afraid of what Mueller would find (monetary ties to
Russia, and elsewhere and yes, exposure from the so-called “pee-pee tapes” or
far worse) by some notions.
That is 100% clear in my mind as I read Trump’s
efforts to obstruct as outlined in Mueller and redacted out – un-redacted is
the proof or not we need to see.
And, continuing we see why Trump is still worried sick
and trying every way possible to block former aides from testifying before
Congress and telling them to not hand over documents and such.
This truly is worse than Watergate and the worse
crisis ever and still developing daily it seems.
Stay tuned, and thanks for stopping by.
