Rachel Maddow: New Obstruction Investigation Could Catch Ivanka Trump In 50 Tripwires

Maddow said:
Increased Dem focus on obstruction could send Trump over the edge
The Mueller investigation may be over, but Democrats have taken the baton from the special counsel and they appear to be sprinting with it.
In this instance, as they dig further into the obstruction issue, it could spell trouble for one of Trumps children and send this president completely over the edge.
Not only would it further implicate the president and his lawyers in an obstruction scheme, but it would show that Trumps daughter was far more involved in a potential deal with Russia than was previously known.
As Rachel Maddow pointed out on Tuesday, it could set off a series of tripwires none of which are likely to end well for Donald Trump.

He could pardon all of his kids and himself for federal crimes
NY state crimes are a different matter...

(4,341 posts)Everyone gets excited "Now we got them!", nothing happens, and in the mean time the Democrats go on TV to tell the World that "they are researching all their options" to later negotiate a lousy deal like the one with Jr where he agrees to answer the subpoena but only with his demands, such as "no more than four hours", and "here is the list of questions I will answer" and the other great negotiator from the Democratic party, Nadler is happy because he will have Jr testify to later find out Jr takes the 5th.
Enough already, we need to start sending emails and letters to our Democratic leaders, enough being bullied by the "party of trump", enough getting the short stick on every negotiation. A subpoena that is not answered has consequences, there is no room for negotiations, by what I understand the law is, it is very simple, you don't show up? you go to jail, period...NO NEGOTIATION.
2020 is around the corner, it comes faster than many people think, and my prediction is that if things continue the way they are, come 2020 the Muller report will still be redacted, Barr will have subpoena and maybe indicted some FBI agents who worked on the investigation, the Democrats will still be "looking at options" for them to use "everything at their disposal", etc. etc. Have people forgotten what happened to Peter Strzok? The "party of trump" does not mess around, they go for the jugular, they don't negotiate, they make up stuff to screw you/us, and they have no shame doing it. ENOUGH!
Oh, and I almost forgot...before the end of 2019 the economy that Obama left will be destroyed. Anyone who has not caught up with the price of food in supermarkets is not paying attention, many items have doubled in price in the last year. When are people going to wake up? I thought that filing taxes would wake up many people when they realized their returns had been cut in half or that for the first time they would have to pay the IRS, but no...still sleep at the wheel.
ENOUGH!
