By that logic, Mueller probably is! Well, have a good day.
-
No. That's not what Mueller is focusing on Trump for. Which is my point. This is a big scoop misrepresenting what Mueller is investigating. Which is an effort Rudy has been pushing with great success, which is why those letters came out.
-
Marcy, sometimes honorable people can disagree on issues in the political discourse. I believe Mueller's obstruction probe is legitimate & important. You don't. I have no reason to question your integrity or character for having a different opinion, and hope you believe the same.
-
Murray. It's not that I don't believe an obstruction inquiry is legitimate. It's that I know better, knowing FAR MORE about this case than you, than to believe it's the end all and be all. Moreover, I have very good reason to believe the focus on it right now is a WH strategy.
-
Now if you want to dismiss my far greater knowledge about this case as an attack on your integrity, I guess that's your prerogative. Again, all I said is that I didn't find that article all that interesting. I don't. Sorry.
-
Marcy, are you contending Mueller does not have an active investigation into obstruction? Is that what you mean by: "That's not what Mueller is focusing on Trump for"? Why then all the reports of witnesses being asked questions related to obstruction, for instance?
-
Are the Stone witnesses -- the only recent witnesses who've spoken with the press -- talking about obstruction? Nope. So where are the neverending series of stories suggesting obstruction is primary focus of Mueller wrt Trump coming from? Hmmm. The White House. Why is that?
-
When those Sekulow questions were released in June, they made it clear that Mueller was increasingly focused on "collusion," not obstruction. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/06/02/what-got-added-to-sekulows-list-further-obstruction-including-considering-of-firing-mueller-and-collusion/ … Even still loyal scribes pushing the obstruction story pitched the list as an obstruction story.

Sorry, Marcy, more than one journalist can report on the same story. I remember the early days of blogging when folks like you took major news orgs on for trying to be gate keepers as to what is news and what isn't. Now you seem to want to play that role yourself.
-
Murray, you don't want to get into airing old grievances, trust me. By all means report on it. I am not obligated to find it interesting or even accurate, wrt the state of the investigation.
