    Trump's idiotic interpretations doesn't mean his request for review was obstruction. Maybe the only reason McGahn refused was because he didn't want to look like an idiot too. Trump leaving the decision to Rosenstein, and accepting a decision he didn't like, makes everybody who says it's obstruction look like an idiot IMO.

    You cannot have a legitimate Congressional investigation without calling witnesses (because Congress at it's core is not a good investigative body)... If witnesses are being told not to appear, yet can be made to appear if it's in an "impeachment hearing", then that's the track I want...

    Motivation isn't really an issue... The Mueller report, fighting subpoenas, and hiding witnesses is all the motivation I would think anybody in Congress should need...

    Well, a big let down for the Dems. Mueller added nothing new that the report didn't already show. Not enough evidence to charge.

    He also really let the wind out of the sails for any testimony....the Dems thought Barr was hiding something, and lying...apparently that's not the case Mueller isn't gonna say that

    which means more investigation by Congress is justified

    No he didn’t, that’s why you posted a video and not a quote.

    Which means witnesses must appear and not ignore subpoenas....

    He says he doesn't want to testify. I say that's too bad because this stinks of conspiracy and reminds me of the Comey press conference that ultimately got him fired. All the delays to have Mueller testify trace back to Congressional Democrats who desperately wanted Mueller to finger Trump but didn't want Congressional Republicans to have their crack at him. This presser appears to have been their answer to that. I wonder if this ends the calls by Democrats to have Mueller appear. If it does then we have yet another bit of evidence that this entire saga has been a DNC and MSM manufactured act of treason from the start of campaign season 2016.

    What Mueller did in his report and again in his little self-serving speech today had nothing whatsoever to do with the OLC.

    Ok if that's the case then you have to choices
    1. Admit your party isn't doing their duty as elected officials because you truly believe you have the goods.
    2. You really don't have the goods so 3 years of American intelligence services searching for a crime wasn't good enough and you want to continue this crap. Translation this is a witch hunt.

    That's the options because all the Republicans have read the Mueller report and the Senate is not going to vote to remove the president and they certainly don't trust Schiff for brains or hyper partisan Nadler.

    yep, he said it was unconstitutional to indict a sitting President, many think he is wrong, but it's what he thinks

    Great idea.

    Impeach him after the Election so that he can join Andrew Johnson, and Clinton in the History Books.

    Did you hear what he said?
    Do you know the DOJ policy?
    If you answer those questions you will know it's not "crazy."

    So now you think Obama obstructed in Fast and Furies and the IRS scandal? That's interesting that the constitutional protections are now obstruction in your view.

    Except that's specifically not what he said... He was clear in the report and even more clear today...

    SNIP
    Charging the president with a crime was, therefore, not an option we could consider.
    ENDSNIP

    Good job on content there!! Those that didn't read the relevant parts of the Mueller report really should refrain from commenting on the specifics of it...

    I just gave you the precedent example. Were you not around when Starr charged Clinton?
