Muellar may be pursuing obstruction as a front.

After all the buckets of information have rolled in about Trump's dalliance with the Russian mob (so quaintly referred to as "oligarchs" and "Putin" and "Russia" ) after going bankrupt in Atlantic City, it seems clear Trump is a traitor. He's a traitor in plain sight with the charm of a 4 year old saying, essentially "look Mom, I'm cheating." (This childish modality obviously appeals to his base).

Could Muellar's apparent focus on obstruction of justice simply be a distraction while piecing together an argument for criminal conspiracy with an enemy of the American people?

Mueller was investigating the possibility of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians. The obstruction of justice part is Trump trying to cover up the conspiracy. It's Watergate II.

the charge against Trump will be treason: " the offense of attempting to overthrow the government of one's country or of assisting its enemies in war; specifically : the act of levying war against the United States or adhering to or giving aid and comfort to its enemies by one who owes it allegiance."

Indicting all those Russian military could certainly lay the groundwork for a treason charge.

GOPers are praying on the 24 and something Federal judges that McTurtle has been plotting since Pres O first day and . . the US Supreme Court . .

Their logic, they can further fuck up the USA through the court system. But, GOPers are impeaching and trying to impeach state SC's. I don't think it will bold well.
