1/ early on, Trump objected vehemently to Mueller conflicts of interest, including and especially his personal relationship with Comey. DOJ ethics cleared Mueller, but was there bait-and-switch in question on which they ruled? Was DOJ opinion directed at investigation of Russian

2/ collusion only? In which case, conflict arising out of Comey friendship probably not material. Did DOJ squarely address potential conflict in obstruction investigation in which Comey was key player and in which reasonable perception of lack of impartiality on Mueller's part.

It's not like it was that difficult to dig up. Trump obstructed and witness tampered on Twitter

I agree that Mueller really went out of his way to emphasize the behavior supporting a potential obstruction charge over the much more serious and now debunked collusion issue. But I still think it's pathetically weak sauce.

I think he realized very early on that this was his only hope of getting Trump, and he desperately wanted to get Trump. My guess is that M has done some dirty shit out there with some of the people who went after Trump. He is literally trying to protect himself.

It was a “create obstruction” exercise all along. Not hard to see

It's like getting arrested for 'resisting arrest', when the person didn't commit a crime and wasn't bring arrested in the first place.

McCarthy has been proven right throughout. The one time he erred was on the side of caution by not believing the FISA system could’ve been so casually abused, but finally had to admit the “kooks were right all along.”

Seems common in so many prosecutorial cases. A man has to find something tangible to justify his himself.

Last I checked obstruction of justice was a crime, and prosecutors investigate crimes. Given there was ample evidence of obstruction of justice, the natural conclusion was the impeachment referral. Seems pretty simple to me.

McCarthy certainly makes a convincing argument unlike frail Mueller. After his performance at press conference, can’t help but wonder if his sole role was to be credible face to an abusive investigation actually run by Andrew Weissmann. Maybe it is why he doesn’t want to testify!

I’ll go further and say they set the ground for Trump’s tweets etc. in order to collect these instances as reason to impeach. In fact, they leaked information, created fake stories to goad him into firing Mueller or at the very least, to say things that they could use.

The piece completely misses the point by throwing it all on Mueller -- It's much more obvious now that Mueller was a lousy supervisor and outsourced much of the job to Weissman. Yet Weissman isn't even being mentioned. I
