Once again, laws are done under context of actions. You are allowed to fire someone, can you fire them for being Asian? There are laws and regulations to which you can use your authority. 1.) Mueller isn't Asian. 2.) Firing Mueller for continuing a partisan investigation that the investigators knew had no basis in reality is not a crime. 3.) Firing Mueller for being Asian (or, you know, continuing a sham investigation solely as a perjury/obstruction/process crime trap) is still not a ***** crime. If you want to continue with this "crime" stupidity, quote the statute he violated. 2 hours ago, DC Tom said: "This board is not a court of law, so stop arguing with me when I make legal arguments!"

I know that's a lot to ask but Perry Mason reruns just aren't doing it for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 3 hours ago, billsfan89 said: You are being purposefully dense. I am not saying that Trump was convicted of a crime. I am saying he committed it. Did Bill Clinton commit perjury despite the fact he was never charged with that crime. This is a message board not a court of law. I don't think it is a stretch to look at the Muller report confirming the story of Trump ordering McGahn to fire Muller as Trump attempting to obstruct an investigation. There is no other supposition to make. Mueller wasn't fired. No crime committed. Trump could yell and scream and ponder firing him all he wants. Meaningless, not to mention Trump had the authority to do so. Now if Trump would have fired Mueller sometime in 2018 after Mueller and his crew knew that no conspiracy between Americans and Russians had occurred and due to Mueller's refusal at that point to end the probe, Trump would have been very justified.

Also, Eric Holder is a goddamn hero for obstructing Congress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
