Kaddish posted:Holy poo poo, you guys are frothing at the mouths. Wrong, idiot. Your Own loving Link You Retard posted:Yes. But courts have ruled that otherwise lawful acts can constitute obstruction of justice if done with corrupt intentions. In a 1998 case, for example, a federal appeals court upheld the conviction of a lawyer who had filed legal complaints and related motions against a government agent who was investigating an illegal gambling operation. The court ruled that the defendant’s “nominally litigation-related conduct” was unlawful because his real motive was “to safeguard his personal financial interests” in the corrupt enterprise. Lol, beaten by two separate posters.

Ballz posted:I must've blanked out during this part, because I don't remember anything about Loretta Lynch during the testimony. Or was that something that came out of McCain's muddled ramblings? Multiple Republicans asked him about the Lynch-Bill Clinton airplane conversation, and how that affected Comey's October announcement. Also, that Lynch encouraged Comey to refer to the email investigation as a "matter," rather than an "investigation." I think that last bit was new. Covok posted:What did he do? He kept quiet and then made some off-handed joke about it in a column a couple days later, IIRC.

Rigel posted:I think the issue is that he either didn't know about, or forgot about the Holt interview and (more importantly) the white house transcript with the russian ambassador. If all we had was Comey's statement, then yeah, obstruction of justice would be a tougher putt because you could argue that Trump believed the investigation was handled badly, not that he wanted it to end. The transcript blows away any doubt of his intention. I searched and didn't find an official transcript. Can you link me?

Crows Turn Off posted:Did he say that, though? I don't think he said anything new, Trump already said he fired Comey to get rid of the Russia investigation and nothing really happened after that. Comey didn't utter the words "Trump committed obstruction of justice," so I strongly believe that non-Democrats will not care. The public won't hear a sound-byte saying Trump obstructed justice, so you can bet they won't think anything major was said in the testimony, and the Republicans are already stating that this was no big deal, and I don't think it will be to most people. This was an open hearing with Comey under oath. He wasn't just giving a TV interview or something. Anything said could be used by the numerous investigations going on right now.

No, it reiterates that Trump was within his authority for firing Comey, even with the Russia investigation reason - but if there was "corrupt intent" it would constitute obstruction. He came really loving close to admitting this in the Holt interview, based on what someone posted above, and if he admitted this to the Russians in their meeting in the WH I haven't seen it.

Rigel posted:Trump was wrong because he's an idiot, but at the time he actually believed firing Comey would end the investigation. I like the double-edged sword that the GOP is haplessly swinging around: that Comey should have told Trump that what he was doing was unethical because he's too dumb to know it, but also that Trump wouldn't have fired Comey to stop the investigation because only an idiot would think that would succeed. So we're supposed to assume that Trump is too ignorant to know the relationship between the president and the FBI, but that he would know the relationship between the head of the FBI and ongoing investigations.

He came really loving close to admitting this in the Holt interview, based on what someone posted above, and if he admitted this to the Russians in their meeting in the WH I haven't seen it. He literally said he fired Comey to end the Russia investigation on multiple occasions. That is corrupt intent and obstruction of justice. You can deny it til the cows come home, but it won't change reality.
