Wow, talk about premature. Two congressional investigations AND Mueller's investigation just cranking up, and you're breaking out the party hats?

Comey said that he is 'sure that Mueller is looking at Trump for obstruction of justice'.


Quote:
Good point made by the Dem. when a robber holds a gun to someone’s head and “hopes” for their wallet, “the word hope is not the most operative word at that moment.”


“A key distinction as far as whether Trump actually attempted to obstruct justice or not rests on whether his expressed “hope” rises to the level of a command or directive to a subordinate.

Senator Angus King (I-ME) asked Comey whether he felt the President’s statement about the investigation into Flynn was a directive, at which point Comey appeared to read King’s mind, shaking his head as if in disbelief that this was even a question and saying, “Yes — it rings in my ear as kind of ‘will no-one rid me of this meddlesome priest.”

To which King lit up and responded, “I was just going to quote that in eleven-seventy December 29, Henry II said ‘who will rid me of this meddlesome priest’ and the next day he was killed.”

Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) made a similar point during her time, eliciting a brief hint of a smile from Comey when she observed that in her experience as a prosecutor, when a robber holds a gun to someone’s head and “hopes” for their wallet, “the word hope is not the most operative word at that moment.”
