I consider Judge Napolitano to be a friend so I write this with regret. An obstruction case where there is no proof of an underlying crime is questionable. If you add to it nothing actually obstructed, there’s no case. Judge reconsider your position. This is a Weismann.

Incorrect. Obstruction of justice even applies to efforts to interfere with civil litigation. See U.S. v. Lundwall. Also, corrupt attempts to obstruct a proceeding even when one isn’t the subject, is a crime. Mueller’s grand jury indicted many people.

There doesn’t have to be an underlying offense; the proceeding can be about trying to figure out whether there was an underlying offense. This isn’t hard.

And ... there’s also a whole section of the manual devoted to the basic proposition that obstruction doesn’t have to be successful to be obstruction.

But again, let’s remember: Whether the President of United States is provably a criminal (which, sadly, he is) is actually a red herring. Our standards should be—must be—higher than that. That’s why the Framers of our Constitution provided for impeachment.

George, you are not taking into account Rudy's knowledge of Matlock Seasons 1 - 57 and Perry Mason Seasons 1 - 98. In particular The Case of the Missing Heiress which proved a suspect is innocent if arrested on Groundhog Day and was wearing suspenders.

Either way, it's the "ask" that's illegal.

If I tell you to take a hike and not testify against me, go out of town that week, and instead you tell the prosecutors, you'll guilty of obstruction even though my director was not acted upon.

1. Let me know if someone starts a Gofundme page for George's Happy Divorce Day.

Let's make it glorious.

4. Right. Put your money where your mouth is, George. Time for a divorce.

2. Been seeing some articles lately

referring to some higher up Republicans starting to publicly come out concerning shithole's ousting. I think they are now seeing the writings on the hall for 2020.

Ya know that is all they care about and it is election time . . nothing else.

3. I guess Barr and Giuliani are aiming their "legal" BS at the uninformed.

And at those who prefer to be misinformed.
