"Obstruction nonsense" explains the Special Counsel how, exactly?

What "wouldn't surprise you" about CNN viewers is just a post-truth rhetorical construction.
Special counsel is investigating the Russia influence of the election. Nothing else has been confirmed about it.

But look, I was asked about my opinion on the poll and I gave it. This is a stupid thing for you to go on and on about.

It's been an excellent opportunity to point out how you inject non-fact into discussion, like your characterization of the Special Counsel's role.

Here's the letter-

His task includes investigating any links between the Russian govt & individuals associated with the Trump campaign.

Trump is obviously associated with his own campaign, right?

Mueller has much broader authority than Comey ever had. And Donald walked right into it, eyes wide shut.

This says it CAN go into obstruction, not that it has. The only thing we know for sure is it is investigating the Russian collusion/influence of the election. Obstruction has not been confirmed, period.

Dancin' fool, huh? I'm confident that Mueller will leave no rock un-turned, including that one.

Donald already claimed it to be true. Why can't you just take his word for it, anyway?

You may be correct but saying he might get to obstruction is any indication that it isn't nonsense.

Do you fancy yourself a Spin Doctor? Well, you are [Spicer, Conway.. etc.] their equal. Yes, that is a burn in case you missed it. Ouch though right?
Lol Kellyanne Buckspray... the angriest of all Russian bots.

I do not care what you think of anybody.
Brutal.

Is there a specific reason you feel compelled to tell me you don't care?

Seems like you care.

Noice!

Good golly fella, stop your flirting. I love my husband.

Absolutely!

It isn't any indication....

It's highly convenient for you to overlook some aspects of observable reality, like this-

The members of the Senate Intelligence Committee had one question they asked again and again Wednesday of the country's intelligence chiefs: Did President Trump want you to downplay investigations surrounding Russia?

And time and again, the intelligence officials declined to answer.

http://www.npr.org/2017/06/07/53185...ivate-conversations-with-trump-in-open-hearin

If the answer to that question is a simple "No" it seems highly likely that they would have just said so. If they characterize their meetings with Trump much as Comey has done (highly likely) then Mueller has ample cause for further investigation of the obstruction allegation. Mueller won't ignore the congruent sworn testimony of 3 high integrity individuals.

How does this help your suggestion that Mueller possibly getting to obstruction make it not nonsense? Are you abandoning that line of argument?

That doesn't make sense, either, & not just in terms of grammar.

If Coats & Rogers testify along the same lines as Comey then the allegation of obstruction obviously isn't nonsense. A pattern of behavior would be revealed. It may or may not rise to the level of criminality.

Hell, he'd do it again. If he thinks he is having even a some what friendly exchange (which Trump translate as correct and obvious high worship) with any one involved with investigating any part of this he'll ask that person to do what they can to obstruct the investigation. He truly is that obvious and corrupt. It's a given not a source of ambiguity.
