A ccording to The Wall Street Journal, The House Judiciary Committee believes it has evidence of President Donald Trump’s communication with his former acting attorney general Matthew Whitaker about his former fixer and personal lawyer Michael Cohen.

The committee says it has evidence of Trump meddling into the 2018 investigation into Cohen.

“Talking to advisers, Mr. Trump appeared concerned that an ‘out-of-control prosecutor’ examining a person involved in large business transactions would easily be able to find a ‘technical violation,'” the report said.

1. I know it's the title, but in our own communications we should

never allow this stuff to be called "meddling."

It's not meddling. It's obstruction.

[DRoseDARs]

5. The word choice probably has to do with legal and civil ass coverage.

Like when you hear "allegedly" when media is talking about charges or pending court cases. The word meddling isn't part of law, obstruction is, and they describe the same thing.

[Squinch]

6. Ok. Alleged obstruction.

[DRoseDARs]

7. Weasel word certainly, but legal departments wake up screaming terrified of what anchors might say..

...allegedly.

[Squinch]

13. But meddling is your auntie setting you up with that nice dentist.

This isn't that.

2. What next?

More crazy everyday.

3. "technical violation"

that's a hoot

[yonder]

9. yep. and got me too.

[shanny]

10. just a procedural crime, really

[SWBTATTReg]

14. Really. It is a hoot and insults too the rest of us. First the ongoing, endless audits of his...

tax returns and his excuses on not releasing them. Technical violations...a description to sugarcoat out and out fraud/or a crime in full view.

I'm getting tired of the stupid a&& excuses, the runabout, the shifting of the topic to other topics, etc. They had this same problem in dealing w/ rump in court from what I understand in NY. They got answers from him when he was under oath (and nailed him while under oath too while he was testifying), this is from one tidbit of information I read some time ago during the 3500 or so lawsuits he's had in NY.

4. meddle is an opinion word, and may have is not fact nt

[Wellstone ruled]

8. Happened to catch

Nicole Wallace today. And now she is finally onboard with what many here have expressed for several weeks. That is,Trump is running for Reelection in order to stay out to Prison. And keep his Kids out at the same time.

11. Collusion!

[flotsam]

12. It turns out that technically

felonies are a crime.

15. Maybe it was Giuliani, he was very involved with this too

... and Rudy still has a few buddies left at SDNY, or at least he did then. Did anybody consider that maybe Whitaker leaked this story about Chump to save his own ass? It's hard to know - there are so many witches to choose from.
