      Why do people want Mueller to accused Trump of obstruction so much more than conspiracy? Have they noticed that a GOP Congress isn't going to move on Trump obstruction?

      It’s not instead. It’s so obvious and egregious that it would seem to be a nobrainer for conviction. Then you charge with conspiracy, money laundering, etc.

      How are you going to convict a sitting president?

          I personally think since he conspired with a foreign country while still just a US citizen to win an election, then he can and should be indicted for that even while in office, but I will admit, I live in my own world of “seems fair to me”

          The JD rules 28 CFR 600.7: Mueller can ask AG for an exception to go AGAINST the (no indictment of a sitting president) rules under “extraordinary circumstances I believe an arguably illegitimate president, having conspired with Russia, being a foreign agent is extraordinary.pic.twitter.com/dopAaAZXqB

          The House impeaches, the Senate removes. If he is impeached with over-whelming evidence that he CONSPIRED with Russia there will be marching in the streets if the Senate DOESN’T remove. Not so much with obstruction alone.

          Well if we had a working gov impeachment-> no longer sitting POTUS-> indictment. The indictment while in office is the 64K dollar question though, right?

          It may all depend on if Mueller considers Trump’s crimes to be “extraordinary circumstances”. That would allow him to ask the AAG for an exception to the JD rule to not indict a sitting president.pic.twitter.com/AQeUeQ1kIl

          Entering into a conspiracy to win the presidency that would render you immune from prosecution for entering into a conspiracy to win the presidency would seem to be a crime worth putting aside the DOJ guideline that the president was unindictable and immune from prosecution.

          Murder would be impossible for even many in the GOP to ignore, & detailed indictments for conspiracy to defraud the U.S. would come close for those in the GOP not also compromised. His margins are eroding

          You are much more optimistic than I am, CC. I sincerely hope you’re right, but eveything I’ve seen until now say that you are mistaken. Regardless, we will not be silenced and continue to shout out against this travesty.
