      I've reported enough of the McGahn memo to find this uninteresting. Moreover, as I said, anyone pushing obstruction at this point is doing Rudy G's work.

      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.

      And golly, since then I've come forward and made it clear that someone with a significant role in the RU attack knew about what Flynn was being ordered to do 14 hours after polls closed. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/07/03/putting-a-face-mine-to-the-risks-posed-by-gop-games-on-mueller-investigation/ … That doesn't sound like obstruction-worthy investigation to me.

      And btw, that Mueller shift from obstruction to collusion? It happened in March, not June, when Rudy & co's attempts to stall any interview started.

          Marcy, can you elaborate on obstruction-to-ConFraudUS (aka collusion) focus shift as to why then? https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1024354921456574474?s=19 … P.S. Makes sense if enough evidence (seems so) Mueller would prioritize ConFraudUS, but why not also charge obstruction to bolster collusion case?

          "Charging" is the problem. Another assumption people are parroting with little apparent reason is that Mueller is working towards a report, because he can't charge the President. That may be true but he can show that the president engaged in crimes via other means.

          As an unindicted coconspirator in a future indictment? Perhaps anonymously as Head of State 2 ? (Head of State 1 being reserved for his boss)
