Or maybe general contempt for him because he's proven himself to be a political hack and a lackey for Donald Trump instead of an independent Attorney General with an ounce of integrity. That's enough to engender contempt from anybody. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I appreciate the letter, but is the point of it to say that the office Trump holds is why Mueller himself did not attempt to indict the President for obstruction, or why they think he won't be charged with obstruction period? Is their legal opinion that the office of President absolves him from obstruction period or just that it is up to congress themselves to move towards impeachment due to Mueller's findings?

If by "steady" you mean "are 100% guaranteed to value political party over any morality or integrity whatsoever". But yeah, 1) Firing the head of the FBI because he failed to agree to your demand that an ongoing counterintelligence investigation will not mention that your subordinates were participating in the crime. 2) Choosing, as a matter of policy, not to prosecute low level criminals who's crime is failure to voluntarily leave the country they've called home for their entire lives. aren't different at all.

CousinsCowgirl84 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) Think the difference is that trump obstructed justice for personal gain... dapa was a policy decision.
