Lawrence Can Barely Contain His Joy As He Describes Mueller Knowing That Trump Tried To Fire Him

Lawrence O’Donnell Can Barely Contain His Joy As He Describes Mueller Knowing That Trump Tried To Fire Him

http://www.politicususa.com/2018/01/25/lawrence-odonnell-can-barely-contain-joy-describes-mueller-knowing-trump-tried-fire.html

Lawrence O’Donnell was all smiles as he explained Trump’s self-created obstruction of justice predicament now that the president knows that Robert Mueller knows that Trump tried to fire him.

Video:

O’Donnell said, “It says Robert Mueller learned about it in recent months as his team interviewed current and former white house officials in his inquiry about whether the president obstructed justice. So Robert Mueller knows. Robert Mueller knows that the president tried to fire him. Robert Mueller wants to interview the president in his investigation into possible obstruction of justice by the president, and he knows that one of the pieces of evidence of obstruction of justice is that the president tried to fire him. The president’s firing of FBI director James Comey provoked the appointment of the special prosecutor, who is investigating the president for obstruction of justice because of the firing of James Comey. And now we know the president tried to fire the special prosecutor himself. And now Donald Trump knows that the special prosecutor knows that the president tried to fire him. Is the president still eager tonight, as he says he was last night, to be interviewed by the special prosecutor who knows the president tried to fire him?”

Only a true idiot would try to fire the special prosecutor as they are being investigated for obstruction of justice. This isn’t rocket science. There is historical precedent for what happens to presidents who go on Saturday Night Massacres to kill investigations. It doesn’t end well for the president.

Committing obstruction against someone who is prosecuting you for obstruction. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Does it matter what you do when 30-40% of the country don't want to believe it and half of congress sits on their hands lest they get primarried. Hell fox would've spun the tapes to say nixon didnt actually do anything he was just strategizing how to fight the charges.

And Nixon was STILL forced out. Nixon was a smart, competent guy. Trump is a moron and a chump with a bumbling crew of incompetent, neophytes and sycophants.

I'm not sure how much of these players were present during Watergate.

Something has deeply insinuated itself into the US politic, and it is not trying to be helpful.

the entire rwnj echo chamber propaganda machine.

Someone--maybe John Dean?--said a few weeks ago that nixon probably wouldn't have been forced out if faux had been in existence then.

than Republicans enjoy now. 56-42 in the Senate, with one independent and Conservative party senator in NY (Javits). I think it was effectively 57-43 with Javits probably with the Republicans and Byrd with the Democrats.

The House was 255-180 Democratic

Of course, it is impossible for him to stay silent on pretty much anything, so he'll just ramble on and give them more than enough information for another person to eventually say the most beautiful of all phrases, "You are hereby sentenced to..."

Please.... fired?, caught?, trouble?, hahahah this guy will skate, this guy will NOT be impeached, even if the dems win both houses in 2018, because they will put Pelsoi back as speaker and shes not into impeaching.... and if they do, win, it will be like Clinton, and the Senate will not get 2/3 majority to convict.... Will he be humiliated by the act...NO, will he quit? NO, he will continue to rampage and convince his cretinous base its all fake news, and incite them to do stupid shit they do. Instead of going after Muslims, blacks, immigrants, they will go after ANYONE that can speak properly, who appears educated, becuse they know the educated are liberals....hahaha

trump in trouble yeah right, lets ask McConnell, Ryan et.al. if he's in trouble.
