Trump’s Collusion To Bring Down Mueller Backfires and Provides Boost To Obstruction Of Justice Case

Instead of bringing down Robert Mueller and ending the Russia investigation with his smear campaign against the Special Counsel, Trump has provided more evidence to law enforcement for an obstruction of justice case against him.

Video of former US attorney Barbara McQuade discussing how Trump collusion could help Mueller:

McQuade said, “As we’ve discussed, one of the most difficult thing to prove in an obstruction of justice case is the corrupt intent. Not the act but the intent. You have to show that they had some sort of bad purpose. If you can show that the White House or President Trump is getting other people to do his bidding, to put an end to this investigation, that could bolster the evidence of the corrupt intent that Robert Mueller needs.”

Every move that Trump makes to try to halt or derail the investigation only helps the Special Counsel make an obstruction of justice case against him. Donald Trump would be wise to shut up, stop trying to outsmart people who are smarter than he is, and listen to his lawyers. The President is in serious trouble. None of his C-list gimmicks are going to work. If he abuses presidential power to try to kill the Russia investigation, it will come back ten times stronger.

If Trump fires Mueller, all hell is going to break loose, and the obstruction of justice case will get very real.
