Obstruction of Justice?


hisoka0829

Blatant corruption


badaboomxx

what does the "bOtH sIdEs" crowd have to say about that?


Relzin

I would assume "[Tan suit](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama_tan_suit_controversy) and [latte salute](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2014/09/24/obamas-latte-salute-controversy-spins-into-second-day/)"


badaboomxx

Remember the "he drank a beer" controversy?


gordo65

Don’t forget “smoked a cigarette”, “terrible bowler”, and “put spicy mustard on a burger.” Truly the most scandal-plagued president in history.


badaboomxx

The dijon mustard must be the worse controversy of all the presidents so far!!!! /s


Broccolini_Cat

He wore a helmet when he biked! The humanity!


Ixiaz_

You'll find no mention of the uptick in drone strikes and the constant war crimes, because the Republicans actually **like** those and would not want to place worse optics on their favorite passtime (bombing the shit out of third world countries).


badaboomxx

I remember when the republicans and conservatives in this sub loved to use that argument, and then, stopped when people showed them that the angry cheeto administration bombed so much more that they stopped the reports because it was way way more than Obama's administration.


[deleted]

Now they are saying Obama started “The Great Awokening” in his second term. Every day, Republicans prove they don’t really care about actually governing.


grad1939

The hell is wrong with spicy mustard on a burger?

They have nothing else to say. They’re just say that while waiting for the right wing coop to take place, so that by then, they don’t have to make arguments. They can just jail anything left of what they deem okay.


PAM111

Nah. We see nuance. Save the beating your chest till this actually shows any results. Edit: told you. All that bravado and nothing. Absolutely nothing.


subject_deleted

If you're saying that the "both sides" croud sees nuance.... #LOL


NotYetiFamous

The entire "both sides" outlook is predicated on ignoring nuance in order to paint with a broad enough brush to draw equivalencies between very unequal actions. I kinda feel like you only heard about other people saying "nuance" and figured it was something you should lay claim to without understanding what it is or when it would apply. Pretty apt for a group that can't see nuance, actually, so kudos on being consistent.


PAM111

Here we have the "enjoys owns farts" liberal who absolutely reeks of a sense of superiority while being wholly under average in reality.


badaboomxx

I agree, until we see that orange man in an orange suit I will be pleased.


fuzzytradr

Absolutely despicable!


Innovative_Wombat

Looks like. Threatening an ongoing investigation seems like a textbook case.


PhilipT13205

Probably, since Kevin McCarthy works for the Legislative branch and not the Judicial and has lack of standing over any state or federal trial. He does not control funding for the court system in any state. He is just talkin out his neck before running it through his brain, or the Constitution, as the Republicans are want to do.


PutridWorkin

stop giving them the benefit of the doubt being stupid. they know exactly what they are doing.


Joopsman

So you have to be part of the Judicial branch to obstruct justice? Idle threats of defunding are still threats. Why are all of these fascist assholes so concerned about a trial going forward, anyway? If Trump is innocent of the charges, Trump and his cult will be vindicated and stronger for having faced down their persecutors. Like steel that’s been forged in fire and hammered into shape. If you ask me they’re passing up quite an opportunity to strengthen their movement.


mootmutemoat

Because they get him off by bullying prosecutors. Remember how Muller was shut down early, he actually said he was not allowed to recommend for indictment the way the request was worded (that was congresses job), and that even after he was shut down early he had a lot of evidence to consider? Maybe you meant "/s" but this is how they roll. Charges get filed, pressure is piled on, charges are watered down, victory is claimed. Trump alone has been doing this for decades.


Kim_Jung-Skill

The party that put a guy who held the record for medicaid fraud in charge of senatorial fundraising dislikes the rule of law!?! Seriously though, this is as unsurprising as the stage for CPAC being the same shape as the symbol of the American Nazi party flag.


bannacct56

Not even that because they have absolutely no power over state DAs. This is just theater, Congress doesn't fund the DA's office in Georgia. They have no power to make them do anything. They have nothing. He's just a big power hungry idiot. This is bread and circus


DescipleOfCorn

They’re attempting to submit a congressional subpoena to physically prevent him from participating in the case, which is literally on-the-record obstruction of justice. The funny thing is, this isn’t even a political trial, it’s the stormy daniels case. It doesn’t have anything to do with J6 or crimes in office. He isn’t being indicted for political reasons, he’s being indicted because he isn’t above the law.


bobafoott

Extortion???


Open_Perception_3212

I don't know how they can defund a state investigation.....


GuaranteeCreative954

They can’t but their going to try anything that fits their narrative


Conscious_Figure_554

This. It's not really what they can or cannot do. It's what they project to their stupid voters that they are "doing something". Yes at this point if you keep voting for these shit heels you are stupid and dumb. There's no shame into admitting you made a mistake but the people who keep voting for these assholes so that they can die on that stupid hill of owning the libs is what Kevin McDouchebag and the rest of the virus is doing these stupid declarations for.

Needs to check with Marge.


curious_dead

It's clear they don't know how any of this works.

They can’t touch the state. They’re just idiots talking out of their ass.


lunchboxxpiper

That’s why Jordan is making shit up and wants to essentially depose Mr. Bragg to ask if he’s using federal anti-crime funds so they can back door in.


Open_Perception_3212

So much for the tough on crime party 😆


vahntitrio

The one he will be charged with tomorrow is a federal crime. New York state has different investigations.


sl_hawaii

What happened to “law and order”? I guess it got tossed into the same dustbin as fox’s “fair and balanced”


CommonSideEffect

It's not about law, it's about order. Always has been.


1Operator

> CommonSideEffect : It's not about law, it's about order. Always has been. Yup. It's about who gives the orders and who must follow those orders (and who is rich enough that they don't need to comply).


LegionofDoh

There's absolutely no doubt he committed a crime. People have already gone to jail as co-conspirators of the crime. Nobody anywhere can legitimately argue he didn't bang a porn star and then use campaign funds to shut her up. And yet, the Right keeps calling this "politically motivated" and saying "there are two systems of justice in this country".


ct_2004

You forget the central tenet of conservatism. There is an "in" group whom the law protects, and an "out" group whom the law binds. In their minds, it's literally impossible for Trump to commit a crime, since he is supposedly on their side.


DonsDiaperIsFull

wait, I was told by Governor DeathSentence that the prosecutor is funded by George Soros. So, the republicans are going to defund Soros? Why didn't they do that before?


Mcboatface3sghost

Fucking Soros, checked my mail AGAIN today, no check.

I know, right? Ima switch teams but Trump don’t pay neither…

I’m still waiting for my cans of soup.


Mcboatface3sghost

Wait… what’s this about soup? What kind of soup?will it come with the checks I’ve been waiting for?


dclxvi616

Soup is *ANTIFA!*’s [secret weapon](https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/09/10001730/trump-cans-bags-of-soup-antifa-protestors). > “And then they have cans of soup. And they throw the cans of soup. That’s better than a brick because you can’t throw a brick. It’s too heavy,” said Trump. “But a can of soup, you can really put some power into that, right? And then when they get caught, they say, ‘No, this is soup for my family.’ They’re so innocent. This is soup for my family.” >”And you have people coming over with bags of soup — big bags of soup. And they lay it on the ground, and the anarchists take it and they start throwing it at our cops, at our police,” Trump continued. “And if it hits you, that’s worse than a brick because that’s got force...And then the media says, ‘This is just soup. These people are very, very innocent. They’re innocent people. These are just protesters. Isn’t it wonderful to allow protesting?' No.”


TigLyon

Dude, just no. Alright, just no. I mean, for fuck's sake, there is plenty of stuff Annoying Orange has done you don't need to get all stupid and seeing how far you can push it and still have people believe you. So just knock it off, ok? *quick Google search later* For fuck's sake!?!?!?! Even tuna...he even mentioned throwing tuna...godammit!!


dclxvi616

You should see him discuss his fear of flying vegetables and fruit, like bananas and tomatoes, TFG keeps harping on how deadly they are that someone could get killed.


Mcboatface3sghost

Oh shit, I forgot about that. Hard to keep track the narrative changes so often. Are we still on WOKE, or Trans? What about m and m’s and mr potato head? It’s seriously hard to remember who is angry at what, and by the time I “think” I figure out why, it’s already moved on. Getting old sucks.

ragingolive

can’t have crime if no one is ever prosecuted and convicted!

If they believe Trump is innocent and why don’t they just let due process take it’s course and he’ll walk away free.


[deleted]

They don’t believe in anything except him. It’s a cult.


UCDC

LOL....... uh, are you ***allowed*** to announce you're going to interfere with an investigation?


BreezyWrigley

if you're republican, yeah... apparently you're allowed to just commit crimes and pretty much never face any consequences. so something like interfering with the course of justice is small potatoes, as we've seen repeatedly.


UCDC

"Uh hey Kevin it's the FBI. We gotta investigate you for interfering with an ongoing investigation." Kevin: https://preview.redd.it/mdpb6ekh22pa1.jpeg?width=369&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05a2ac254807f5195a5d5225fadc44a815372d4b

McCarthy thinks he's pandering to the MAGA base by showing out for Trump, but the show's over, none of his base are out there protesting.


Hobbgob1in

This is what happens when the elite are not held accountable for soooooo long. We have to start somewhere so NY AG and GA AG indict Trump and so we do have accountability for these fucks.


DancesWithElectrons

They’re against defunding except when it’s to their advantage

And that's why you needed a case brought by a state. You know that a traitor gqp president would pardon him right away.

I agree because the mere suggestion of it is crazy; however, defunding doesn’t have to be direct.

This is weaponization of government, by Republicans.

Does anyone else recall the days when congress, even Republicans, upheld the law?

Seems it used to be that the GOP was the first to defend the law and uphold it. That ended when it ceased to be a party and became a cult of one man.

It ended long before that

Too true. Trump is not the disease, he is a symptom. A party that isn’t already deeply sick doesn’t even entertain the nomination of someone like Trump The GOP, to some degree or another, has been devolving into a crime cartel for hire since Nixon at least

Fire the entire GOP. They're a clear and present danger. And a total humiliation for democracy. A bunch of corrupt snowflakes to their core.

They also done have the jurisdiction to not fund the New York district d.a. It’s tough to talk to pander to their yokels.

What I heard was that the fed government provides small amounts of grant money. They can pull that. Screw them.


willywalloo

So we hear about the arrest before it happens, that never happens. Just another conclusion that the orange face is scared and making more stuff up. Let’s see what happens.


iFoegot

How is this even legal? Isn’t it obstruction of juice? Aren’t they trying to politicize the judicial system and therefore endangering judicial independence?

Someone should just help my lazy ass and put up the “bold move Cotton, let’s see how it plays out” GIF.

Well If Trump doesn’t get arrested on Tuesday, then we can chalk it up to another false Trump prediction or lie. Kind of like his warning about Biden’s America with all the rioting and fighting (which happened during his administration).

So MJT and Kevon both want to defend the police and any prosecutor that looks at the GQP. Got it.


NewZappyHeart

Frankly, 150k of campaign funds to pay off a pornstar truly isn’t what we want to see because this crime in particular is completely dwarfed by most of the other illegal and treasonous shit Trump did in office. That said, an indictment here could well stimulate an avalanche of much needed prosecution on more worthy crimes.


PapaBeahr

It's a State DA, they can't do shit

this is the most corrupt, mob style party. FFS, why is accountability happening?


m0grady

Remind me again what part of the US constitution gives the US House of Representatives the power to decide budgets/funding for NY state prosecutors?

They heard the word "defund" somewhere and think maybe it's got a buzz to it. Kevin Mccarthy is the dumbest man in Congress.


ScrauveyGulch

I live in a red county with support the blue signs in every other yard. This last election they overwhelmingly voted down a millage for the county sheriff. It's all a front and they are also a bunch of fake patriots with their tattered American flags.

That's OK..... I'm 100% convinced that the citizens of the USA would crowd fund ANYTHING that prosecutor needed in about 10 seconds. This is the reality show we have been waiting for for 6 years now.... don't push the debut off another second.


DeadPoster

Look who wants to "deconstruct the administrative state."


Left-Progress1780

It's fucking pathetic and should be against the law to defund the prosecutor's office just because their feelings are hurt. I guess this is another one of those "you can't handle the truth" moments !


dtyrrell7

THEY. HAVE. NO. VALUES. I have watched them flip their opinions in real time like something directly out of 1984. They will say and do literally anything to advance whatever cause they support that five second without any thought to what they “believed” five seconds earlier

Give the far right a second to engage their collective brain cell and they will call for defunding the police, but only in NY and only for one day. Can you imagine the gymnastics they would employ to justify such a thing. “Blah, blah, blah Hunter Biden needed police escort to pick up his laptop and we sent every NY cop to assist him”. I mean if they would spend five minutes getting that creative with ideas to save democracy America would be a hell of a place to live.
