[RandomGuy]

So a prosecutor shouldn't look for violations of the law?


Bububububu RUSSIA!!!!!

This is the kind of thing I mean when I say that conservative reasoning is deeply, and provably flawed.

Instead of having a serious discussion or reasoning, the instant go-to when a question is asked to further a conversation is some sort of emotional appeal. In this case this is a type of flawed reasoning. (google "horselaugh fallacy")

Do you think that flawed reasoning is a good way to base your worldview? You use bad reasoning like this all the time.

Is it possible to commit no crime at all, and still be factually guilty of obstructing justice for hindering an official investigation?

Lying to Feds and/or conspiring with others to lie to Feds are jailable crimes.

They have been investigating it for a year. The question is irrelevant.

It is directly relevant to what you said. You said that the sole motivation was political, with the implication that there were no facts that came out that might indicate the need for investigation.

I called bullshit, and suddenly its "irrelevant"?

[RandomGuy]

They have been investigating it for a year. The question is irrelevant.

What facts are the special prosecutor aware of that might warrant further investigation?

You don't know, do you?

[CosmicCowboy]

What "facts" meet the legal threshold of obstruction of justice? Firing Comey doesnt cut it.

[RandomGuy]

What "facts" meet the legal threshold of obstruction of justice? Firing Comey doesnt cut it.

Firing Comey in and of itself doesn't.

Are there any other facts associated with this action that have come out?

[RandomGuy]

Obstruction of justice
Obstruction of justice is defined in the omnibus clause of 18 U.S.C. § 1503, which provides that "whoever . . . . corruptly or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication, influences, obstructs, or impedes, or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice, shall be (guilty of an offense)." Persons are charged under this statute based on allegations that a defendant intended to intefere with an official proceeding, by doing things such as destroying evidence, or intefering with the duties of jurors or court officers.

A person obstructs justice when they have a specific intent to obstruct or interfere with a judicial proceeding.


“If Trump exercises his power — even his lawful power — with a corrupt motive of interfering with an investigation, that’s obstruction,” says Lisa Kern Griffin, an expert on criminal law at Duke University. “The attempt is sufficient, and it seems to be a matter of public record already.”


Trump says he considered 'this Russia thing' before firing FBI Director Comey
https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/12/politics/trump-comey-russia-thing/index.html

Donald Trump stated his intent. To interfere with the "Russia thing".

That is a fact, CosmicCowboy, is it not?

[Pavlov]

They have been investigating it for a year. The question is irrelevant.Eh, it was almost two years before anyone knew about Nixon's tapes.

A lot could change if Trump talks or if he pleads the fifth.

[RandomGuy]

"And in fact when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said 'you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story, it's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won'."

[RandomGuy]

Eh, it was almost two years before anyone knew about Nixon's tapes.

A lot could change if Trump talks or if he pleads the fifth.

Trump won't plead the fifth. That would make him look guilty/weak.

Trump will want to answer questions posed to him to prove how innocent he is. The guy is incapable of NOT lying, and will be facing some experienced sharks who will rip into his ego, and goad him into saying something stupid and false under oath.

It will not go well for him, and his well-paid lawyers will work as hard as they can to keep their meal-ticket from it. Again, his ego will get in the way, and I give a pretty good chance he will ignore them.

I’ve been seeing a lot assertions by you that have been proven false. Perhaps you’ll realize that someday.

On the other hand, Putin overreach on too many fronts could be a precursor to a bad ending.

I was a middle of the road conservative before Trump and I will probably be a middle of the road conservative after Trump. Although I personally think the guy is a bombastic blowhard, I really cant disagree much with policy positions so far. I think the tax cuts will be great for the economy and I think its time to make some major changes in immigration policy. Those are the two main initiatives to date and although I might quibble on details the general movement has been correct.

I agree with this. He’s having a positive effect on the economy and he’s tightening up the immigration process. Both were sorely needed. He’s an asshole but he’s having a positive influence on most of the issues I find most important.

[sickdsm]

Hell, let's really go for broke. Record blue wave sweeps Republicans out of Congress.

Trump will be impeached, late 2018, early 2019. Obstruction of justice and High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

It will be interesting to see the temper tantrum he will throw. My guess is that he and Fox News will rile up his base into violence at that point. White Nationalists will see this as a coup, and will react accordingly, other sympathizers will bandwagon.

After people die, Fox News will have something of a reckoning. Charges of inciting riots will be seriously considered. I will, of course be rooting for some of their on air personalities to be dragged off by the police.

Trump will never give up, and put whatever is left of his fortune into legal battles.

Russians will push for Trump even after he falls from power, to foment instability. Expect some serious bot activity and disinformation campaigns.

It will be a constitutional crisis of the highest order. Pence may be dragged down by impeachment as well, but the Democrats, leery of using impeachment to take the executive, will defer. Pence will happily play up to his Christian base, and continue Trumps mission to alienate as many people from the Republican brand as possible.

Had to look at the date TBH. Pretty sure all the predictions last year at this time said the same thing. So edgy.

Downward spiral? Is that how view us? Sounds like good news to me - economy/job wise. Most of my co-workers are very happy with their year-end statements coming in.

Trump has opened up the coastlines to drilling. He's not the one who's investing in oil - that'd be private companies. I see more energy production from the US as hurting both Russia and Iran. Neither should want Trump as president.

We think the Democrats are favoured to take the House
But the contest is finely balanced

https://www.economist.com/united-states/2018/05/26/we-think-the-democrats-are-favoured-to-take-the-house

Seems like it is tilting in favor of Dems.

The Senate map, even though its especially unfavorable to Dems looks even in play.

Impeachment months later looks still more than possible. I view it as less likely now than then, but we are only 1/2 way through the year.

[RandomGuy]

A two-in-three chance measured almost six months before the election is hardly secure enough for the Democrats to rest easy. Because this year’s race is so close, it would take only a shift of 0.6 percentage points towards the Republicans in the model’s expectations of the national popular vote for it to anoint Mr Trump’s party as the favourite to retain control.

Such movement is possible. Mr Trump’s approval rating has already defied the historical pattern of declining sharply in the first half of a mid-term year. His party could have bottomed out unusually early in polls of party voting-intention as well, which would make it unlikely to lose additional ground as the model expects. The Democrats could nominate ideologically extreme or poorly qualified candidates, or be shut out altogether in some California districts because of that state’s odd primary rules. A dramatic event could occur. That is why we give the Republicans a one-in-three chance of hanging on.

easy to do.

Although, as noted elsewhere that NK diplomacy was one area where Trump was getting some traction. His getting punked by NK will not help that.

: There are 66 GOP-held seats that are as or less favorable to Republicans than Ohio's 12th. That's almost three times as many seats as Democrats need to retake the majority they lost in the 2010 election . (Democrats need to net 23 seats.)
If Balderson comes up short on Tuesday, you can be sure every Republican running in those 66 districts will sleep very, very poorly. The excuses Republicans have offered over the past 18 months -- election is too far away for this result to be predictive, bad candidate, tough district, didn't raise enough money and on and on -- will no longer be operative. This Ohio seat is one a generic Republican should win. Balderson was an elected official who ran a credible campaign and raised the money he needed to.

[spurraider21]

guess it's time to look back at some of these. mixed results, mostly wrong


Agreed with much of the above:

Trump won't be impeached but will continue to make an ass of himself on a daily basis

House Democrats who are desperate for attention will continue to waste time and resources drafting articles of impeachment that go nowhere

Republicans will still hold majorities in both chambers of Congress

Rollbacks on environmental regulation lead to short term economic gains that increase republican popularity (like children eating candy for dinner tbh)

Mueller's probe won't implicate Trump himself

Democrats won't budge on the DACA/wall deal... but mainly to take a principled stance against the "racist wall" rather than criticizing the wall as an economic burden

We will see a surge in medical bankruptcies

SCOTUS will uphold Trump's travel ban on a 5-4 vote

[Spurminator]

John McCain succumbs to cancer

George H.W. passes away

Trump orders a military strike on N Korea which he announces on twitter. The next morning, a spokesman announces that his twitter was hacked and the strike is called off. A full investigation begins. Kim Jong-un arms a nuclear missle and announces that it is one press of a button away, but tensions cool and he never does.

The stock market cools off after a ridiculous 2017

1. Trump finds a way to fire Mueller and the GOP congress does nothing but make a few toothless complaints to the media.
2. Democrats will take the house narrowly by running on impeachment of the Dear Leader.
3. The GOP picks up a couple of senate seats thanks to their hugely favorable map for 2018 unless GOP primary voters keep picking Bannon's guys.
4. There will be a government shutdown over the border wall.
5. Lindsay Graham will get caught on cellphone video blowing someone but will go to gay camp and all will be well again.

Nailed #3 and #4. Was off on #2. Video never released on #5.

[ElNono]

- GOP retains control of the House, but Dems retake Senate.

- Dems eventually figure out that the best weapon against Trump is not fake outrage or investigations, but Trump himself.

- Shillary continues to take any Dems gains as her own, further tarnishing the Dems brand.

- Once the GOP feels like they’re losing some grip on their base/population at large, we’ll declare a war against <pick your posion here>

- Deficits will continue not mattering, until Dems regain any sort of power, then it’ll be the typical ‘think about our children’s future :cry’

- Nothing really changes socially, winners remain winners, losers remain losers.

I don’t think I hit too many, tbh, own that.

Some solid predictions ITT overall though.

[Spurminator]

- Corporate tax breaks will by and large be spent on stock buy-backs, inflating stock prices but doing little to stimulate job growth. Trump supporters with jobs will continue to tout the stock market as a sign of economic growth but support among rural Trump voters declines as their towns continue to waste away.

- Jeff Sessions resigns as AG or dies.

- Ted Cruz loses his TX Senate race in an upset.

- President Donald Trump announces on Twitter that he will no longer use Twitter. Returns one week later to respond to unflattering CNN story.

- Celebrity deaths: Willie Nelson, Jack Nicholson, William Shatner, Bob Barker, James Franco

- Celebrity sexual assault scandals: Sean Hannity, Rob Gronkowski, Al Sharpton, Tommy Wiseau, James Franco

I thought for sure I'd hit on a couple of deaths or scandals. But I'm glad Willie made it another year.
