First of all, speculation is rife that Trump is laying the groundwork for attempting to smash the special counsel investigation led by (Republican) Robert Mueller:
He pointed to a recent report, “Trump’s Laundromat,” in the New Republic that examines the president’s longstanding ties to Russian mobsters and money launderers — and Deutsch said the facts were devastating.
“Trump knows he cannot let it go that far, he cannot — he will be destroyed, he will end up possibly in jail,” Deutsch said. “He will fire Mueller at some point. You can see, he is teeing it up. That’s where this is going, make no mistake about it.”
And sure enough, today Kellyanne Conway goes all-in with obstruction of justice, and gets trotted out at Fox News (cough) channel:
“This is just a witch hunt. It’s all a hoax.”
A hoax?! Really?
I recall President Trump’s mini-me, Trump Jr, saying in this blockbuster NYTimes article
“If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer”
In response to...
“This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”
Just a hoax.
Those Russian government lawyers and former Russian spies at the Trump Jr/Manafort/Kushner meeting are/were just perpetuating a hoax.
And we’re all just stupid to have the missed the hoaxiness of that meeting.
Trump Jr gets caught red handed admitting at least intent to collude, then the dirt gets spilled shortly thereafter on HRC. And it’s ALL just a hoaxy witchy thing.
OR maybe that’s part of Ms Conway’s obstruction of justice plan. Who else is in on this conspiracy to obstruct justice? Who was in on those meetings at the WH? Bannon were you there?
Kellyanne goes on with her obstruction of justice, per Trump’s likely order, to lay the groundwork for Trump’s move to oust Mueller and the entire Special Counsel investigation, just like he did with FBI director Comey. Conway:
“Where is this going?”
“Are Americans comfortable with that, with the taxpayers funding this with this going off of all types of chutes and ladders?”
“Not only did these Democrat, presumably, lawyers donate a lot of money to the left side of the political aisle, one of them actually was a lawyer for the Clinton Foundation.”
“Let’s at least, you know, you’re saying put on pressure — let’s have a disinfectant, let’s at least let the transparency and accountability speak for itself. It’s relevant that people know what the motivations are, and that is not an attack on the team. That is what’s fair is fair.”
She wants to “disinfect” the Special Counsel office directed by Trump’s own Justice Department to investigate the criminal activity of the Trump administration. That happens because hard evidence of a crime exists.
She then goes after other investigators in Congress, trying to obstruct there as well.
“I was looking at the statistics this morning, they have been on TV more than they have been presiding over these hearings.”
“They have been on TV. I mean, literally, Adam Schiff walks around with a cut out of the Capitol above his head, instead of having the hearings. The investigations have stalled, because, you know, where is this going?”
Where is this going? Some think no laws were broken, others think Trump and his accomplices, including Ms Conway, are going to jail.
One can’t help but wonder if Kellyanne realizes the legal jeapardy here, with her attempts to obstruct justice. Maybe it’s a risk she has to take to block worse conspiracy charges. Except what she is doing is part of the conspiracy to obstruct justice.
I wonder why her husband withdrew himself from consideration for the Justice Department job. hmmm
Maybe he was slated to take over for AG Sessions or be in the line of succession after Trump starts the modern day Saturday Night Massacre and decided someone in the family needed to not be in jail and be there for the kids.
This Justice Department succession changes from last February sure makes sense now. Or maybe that was just part of the obstruction of justice going on back then.
