Prosecutorial Discrection is not a crime......a President As the sole head of their branch are able to fire pretty much anyone for pretty much any reason, as well as to determine how resources should be used, and to decide on what executive employees should and should not focus. With the exception of per se illegal actions (e.g. perjury or bribery)
Trump didn't commit perjury or bribed anybody.....so your obstruction case is weak.
Nope. What he did was textbook obstruction that would have been prosecuted had it been done by anyone else. AG Barr’s interpretation of the applicable law differs from virtually everyone else in law enforcement, as per Judge Napolitano.
The Lawfare blog does a good job at looking at it also.
That’s not true, no matter how often lemmings repeat the lie.
Obstruction of justice is a crime onto itself.
THE ENTIRE INVESTIGATION WAS BASED OF A LIE AND A INTENTIONALLY FAKED PIECE OF EVIDENCE.
THE END.
We shouldn't even be talking about this subject anymore. It is total lunacy that you people still think he colluded with Russia. It's like a sickness....
so that makes it true, is that what you are saying? There are many with different opinions of this topic. What Napolitano says isn't the last word. Maybe cause he is a FOX contributor you think everyone will believe him?

what did he do that was "textbook obstruction"?
firing comey came with a letter from Rosenstein. Trump was talking about firing Comey before he was elected for reasons far from them investigating him.
he asked Comey if they could go easy on Flynn... he didn't demand and he didn't get involved beyond that. Flynn was charged without interference from the president.

but the President isn't anyone else. He has constitutional powers and prosecutorial discretion to determine how resources should be used, and to decide on what executive employees should and should not focus. If there is an investigation in the DOJ that the President thinks it's a hoax and doesn't like how the executive employee (Mueller or Comey) is doing it, he can fired them, replace them or close the investigation. He has constitutional powers as head of the Executive Branch. Mueller, Comey or Barr are not above the President in making those calls.
If the President tells the FBI and the DOJ not to prosecute pot sellers in Colorado for violating federal laws that is not obstruction of justice that is prosecutorial discretion.
If President Obama tells his DOJ to back off sanctuary cities for violating federal laws and let millions of illegals stay, that's not obstruction of justice, that is prosecutorial discretion. If Obama wanted to fire Holder for doing the opposite, that is not obstruction of justice but prosecutorial discretion.

What you stated is not valid. Good story, but not a legal defense.

Just think about it. Down the road if he gets re-elected. Its 6 more years of his BS. Can this country take that kind of leadership. Aides that he doesnt want to testify to Congress, and some asked to do " crazy s**t " to cover his azz, and his yes men just follow his lead or are let go.
so that makes it true, is that what you are saying? There are many with different opinions of this topic. What Napolitano says isn't the last word. Maybe cause he is a FOX contributor you think everyone will believe him?
Well, you can’t say he’s a lying Democrat.
The point that he made is that Barr’s interpretation of the law is a rare exception to the broad consensus of legal opinion. Made by a Trump appointee covering his a**.
Barr’s actions and the Judicial Department policy (not a law) to not pursue criminal activity by the President, is the only thing keeping him from being prosecuted.
Fox Judge Napolitano: Trump IS Guilty of Obstruction of Justice
Everyone knows it. Some pretend otherwise for their own reasons.
Wonder what Judge Nappy's reason is for towing the leftist lie?
To obstruct justice would mean that a crime was committed and President Trump prevented investigation. There was no crime committed as Mueller said so therefore no obstruction was committed.
One day you TDS infested lefties will understand. If not, wallow in your delusion.
No one cares.
