Why, dear readers, would they do THAT?

Now, I've said over and over that I'm not for a witch hunt here. So I'm opposed to a "pure" obstruction charge that is without underlying illegal and/or treasonous behavior. So if and ONLY if the obstruction is to cover that sort of stuff up, then sure. Add obstruction to the hangin' offense list. Otherwise, I personally don't want to see an obstruction charge.

But, at this point it' seems pretty clear the underlying behavior was there, hence the trial balloon. And, of course, there's plenty of prosecutable offenses that occurred as part of the collusion. Rich people don't want to do even a year or two in jail. Mueller has massive leverage.

PS- I'm not tired of winning yet. wink You guys tired of losing?

PPS- very smart of y'all to avoid betting me. Golf clap!


Many more people will be indicted and arrested. Many more people will plead guilty and cooperate. Those that won't cooperate will spend years in prison. There were plenty of crimes committed. How many remains to be seen.
