Is the Obstruction of Justice charge as ridiculous as the collusion charge?

We will stipulate at the outset of this analysis that if Putin and Trump colluded, then Trump would be guilty of obstructing justice in addition to whatever crime “collusion” entails. However, the serious Democrats and even CNN know collusion is a fantasy so they are now betting on a Nixon-like obstruction charge sticking where collusion failed. One must note a crucial difference between Watergate and Russiagate. Nixon had an underlying crime to conceal, the break-in, whereas the Russia investigation of Trump will yield no such crime.

We are basing the analysis herein on our assumption that Vladimir Putin does not actually have the power to pick who becomes the President of the United States. We are also assuming that Putin would not take the risk of getting caught by CIA, NSA, and FBI having open discussions where he offered to publicly leverage this imaginary power to bet on a heavy underdog in a presidential race, in exchange for… something. We will even assume that neither sitting US Senator Jeff Sessions, nor *Carter Page , nor **George Papadopoulos, engineered this fantastical plot. Furthermore, we assume the story that Donald Trump Jr took a failed meeting with a Russian claiming to have dirt on Hillary Clinton, was in fact a failed meeting with a Russian, claiming to have dirt on Hillary Clinton, and that’s all folks!

Onward; person obstructs justice when they have a specific intent to obstruct or interfere with a judicial proceeding. However, a President makes decisions about what to investigate all the time. A POTUS can tell the DOJ “don’t waste staff on marijuana cases instead go after hard-core drugs,” or “round-up some white-collar crimes” or give whatever instructions he thinks are important. This is not obstruction, it’s his job. So if Trump believes there was no collusion then how can he intend to obstruct justice? This is the crucial point, believing no crime occurred precludes the element of intent. Trump clearly thinks the investigation is a hoax and a witch hunt so when he tries to hurry the investigation along, is he obstructing justice or just attempting to end the hoax? Remember, his intentions matter.

When it comes to pass that Mueller declares that there was no collusion and the investigation was a wild goose chase, will we really prosecute the lone member of our government trying to stop the monumental fraud? Will we really follow one circus with another? Was P.T. Barnum the greatest showman or was it Adam Schiff and cast of CNN?

Which POTUS actually infringed upon Freedom of the Press?

The fist amendment is oft misunderstood and misquoted. It even befuddled all-star reporter Jim Acosta. The amendment protects various rights from being infringed upon by the government, that’s the gist of it. One such right is the freedom of the press. But Jim Acosta interprets it to mean that he is entitled to have his every question answered and he gets his answers on video, else he feels the constitution is under attack. Per Jim, the government declining to do an on-camera presser is a “ban.”

However, breaking news, new emails released today, by the ACLJ, show how a government can trample on the founders. Apparently, the FBI prevented a reporter from taking pictures of Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch who were caught meeting in a public airport. The difference between the Obama and Trump administration’s actions are distinct. Sarah Sanders did not take anyone’s “rights” away, she didn’t agree to answer questions on camera. The Obama AG had the FBI prohibit taking pictures in public and literally infringed on a basic right of the press.

According to the ACLU, snapping pics in public is a right, and in my opinion, actively taking this right away from the press is quite the transgression. Gee whiz, what was she hiding that she allegedly ordered armed agents to stifle a photojournalist?

The true tragedy of not having an impartial press is not the opinionated biased manufactured coverage of Trump. The danger is how they are apathetic to democrats and how they treated Obama like a star quarterback wearing a red shirt at practice.

CNN Achieves Rank of Masterclass Propaganda on Healthcare

CNN continuously produces human interest pieces in opposition to Trump. In the daytime hour this usually entails exploiting children. Stay-at-home mom watch CNN in the mornings and moms like kids. That appears to be CNN’s thought pattern. The two videos linked above are prime examples of how the network skillfully tries to woo moms away from Trump.

In the video below, CNN takes a person’s misfortune, and gracefully weaves her story into a story about the healthcare debate of which her tale has nothing to do with.

This mother has no idea what she is talking about in relation to the healthcare debate. Her situation would be exactly the same without Obamacare, with Obamacare or with Trumpcare. Yes, it is equally plausible that the mom is a willing participant in this farce. She totally avoided the question about the effect the [proposed Republican] bill would have on her because the answer is zero, none, nada, absolutely no effect.

Tears, kids, a desperate plea from a mom. Cheers CNN, you truly are a masterclass propagandist. And don’t think we haven’t noticed what gender host you cleverly choose to do these stories every time, you sexists.

CNN Reaching New Lows

Many Americans suspected, based on incessant media reports, that Trump colluded with Russia. When the evidence showed otherwise, Trump asked the intelligence chiefs to go public with this revelation. Trump felt it was important Americans didn’t think their President was a Russian spy. Somehow CNN twisted this into something sinister. Their allegation is Trump ordered the intelligence chiefs to do something illegal or moral.

And when the intelligence chiefs testified they didn’t feel “ordered to intervene,” CNN analysts overrode what the witnesses said with their own opinions. Opinions based on… well nothing.

Another low for CNN occurred this past week. Many of the critics of CNN caught Jim Acosta in a big screw up. He tweeted that Trump, who went to visit Rep. Scalise in the hospital, never got to see him in his hospital room. This was later corrected by Acosta and he admitted Trump did get to see him. But the lie is not the worst part:

How sick is Jim Acosta? Did he try to make the President look bad by pointing out that Trump did not get in to Scalise’s hospital room? Scalise was fighting for his life after being shot, Trump went to see him and somehow Acosta finds a negative angle to a hospital visit. Who reports this as news? The fact that it was later shown as untrue overshadows how diseased CNN has become?

CNN Disavows Journalism to Bash Gingrich

Newt Gingrich, the former Trump advisor and former speaker of the house, has been taking flak from CNN. His crime was two (see picture above) seemingly contradictory tweets. Mr Gingrich went from calling Robert Mueller, the man investigating Trump, a “superb choice” to labeling him unfair based on who he is bringing on his team. The punishment for this crime- repeated lambasting by every CNN anchor for a twenty-four hour period.

However, not one journalist bothered to research what Newt was talking about to see if there was a reason for his turnaround. If they did look into the hires Newt mentioned, they would have seen that Newt had a rationale for his new position. CNN never even mentioned one of these hires in their snarky reporting. Had they bothered to look into it, they would have noticed Mueller hiring a series of Clinton faithful as explained by Zerohedge here. This is not to say these people are inherently biased but it’s a valid discussion point.

Maybe twitter needs to lower the character limit of tweets from 140 so CNN can keep up.

UPDATE: Chris Cuomo did bring up the reasoning for Gingrich complaint. He did more than only pointing out the face-value inconsistency.
