      This quote is right--but also, these leakers are trying to spin their OWN obstruction as something else. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/01/25/how-does-don-mcgahn-threaten-to-quit-without-telling-trump/ … McGahn had 2 days of interview w/Mueller. Did he explain all this then?https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/956862812927774720 …

      Mueller is not going to indict Trump for obstruction, nor is he done (by a long shot), so unless he gives a interim report to Congress before what will likely be more obstruction, that's not what proving Trump obstruction does, yet. But it could get others to flip.

      Mariotti says he likely will present to Congress for potential impeachment. Thoughts?https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/01/26/mueller-trump-obstruction-of-justice-russia-216532 …

      Why tell Congress abt obstruction when 1) you've still got the actual conspiracy to investigate 2) investigating that conspiracy will lead to more obstruction.

      Thanks for responding, but not sure I understand. With more obstruction evidence would there eventually be an obstruction charge or never?

      Congress is not going to impeach off of obstruction. So Q is why Mueller has focused on laying out who was involved in obstruction before finishing the conspiracy case? Maybe to get more witnesses?

          In case interested, I just wrote a thread on why Mueller won't indict Trump and what that means.https://twitter.com/EricColumbus/status/956959804903378945 …

          Mueller almost certainly won't indict Trump – not because it would be unconstitutional, but because Mueller's authority is very different from Ken Starr's was. I can explain. 1/ https://twitter.com/waltshaub/status/956882797972606976 …

          Thanks. Saw it. Why would Mueller "finalize" an obstruction charge now, when he has made it clear he's got months and months of work on conspiracy investigation?

          Why do you say he has months of work to do on conspiracy? But yes, I agree with your general point.

          They've set a status hearing for Papadopoulos in 3 months, first status for Flynn isn't until next month (admittedly a few weeks), and reports that they've supersedings for Manafort & Gates that have Gates chatting up Meuller to flip.
