Obstruction of Justice in Plain Sight

Trump's flurry of activity related to the Mueller probe since the midterm election has been mind numbing. Indeed, if you have blinked, you may have missed some of his brazen efforts to obstruct justice and impede that investigation!

Let's take just a moment to recount some of those efforts. He forced his Attorney General to resign because he recused himself from the investigation and appointed a man to replace him who has publicly disparaged it and speculated about ways to impede or shut it down altogether. He has repeatedly suggested that the FBI and Justice Department investigate his political opponents (including Mueller and his team). Trump finally gave his answers to Mueller's written questions about collusion (after refusing to answer anything about obstruction). Trump's attorneys have been collecting/sharing information from/with the attorneys for the targets of Mueller's investigation. He has openly and without apology disparaged plea deals and "flipping." Trump has openly and without apology suggested that pardons are a distinct possibility for all of those who refuse to testify against him and his team. see https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-floats-pardoning-paul-manafort-not-table-1235513

If there is any doubt remaining in your mind about Trump's efforts to disparage and discredit the Mueller investigation, take a look at HIS most recent tweets about it.
Trump Tweet thread from 11/27:
"The Phony Witch Hunt continues, but Mueller and his gang of Angry Dems are only looking at one side, not the other. Wait until it comes out how horribly & viciously they are treating people, ruining lives for them refusing to lie. Mueller is a conflicted prosecutor gone rogue....
....The Fake News Media builds Bob Mueller up as a Saint, when in actuality he is the exact opposite. He is doing TREMENDOUS damage to our Criminal Justice System, where he is only looking at one side and not the other. Heroes will come of this, and it won’t be Mueller and his...
....terrible Gang of Angry Democrats. Look at their past, and look where they come from. The now $30,000,000 Witch Hunt continues and they’ve got nothing but ruined lives. Where is the Server? Let these terrible people go back to the Clinton Foundation and “Justice” Department!"
"The Mueller Witch Hunt is a total disgrace. They are looking at supposedly stolen Crooked Hillary Clinton Emails (even though they don’t want to look at the DNC Server), but have no interest in the Emails that Hillary DELETED & acid washed AFTER getting a Congressional Subpoena"
"While the disgusting Fake News is doing everything within their power not to report it that way, at least 3 major players are intimating that the Angry Mueller Gang of Dems is viciously telling witnesses to lie about facts & they will get relief. This is our Joseph McCarthy Era!"
A picture of Obama, Clinton, Mueller, Podesta, Rosenstein, Hillary, Huma Abedin, Holder, Lynch, Clapper and Comey behind bars with the caption "NOW THAT RUSSIA COLLUSION IS A PROVEN LIE, WHEN DO THE TRIALS FOR TREASON BEGIN?"
Trump Tweet 11/28:
"So much happening with the now discredited Witch Hunt. This total Hoax will be studied for years!"
Trump Tweet thread from 11/29:
"Did you ever see an investigation more in search of a crime? At the same time Mueller and the Angry Democrats aren’t even looking at the atrocious, and perhaps subversive, crimes that were committed by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. A total disgrace!
When will this illegal Joseph McCarthy style Witch Hunt, one that has shattered so many innocent lives, ever end-or will it just go on forever? After wasting more than $40,000,000 (is that possible?), it has proven only one thing-there was NO Collusion with Russia. So Ridiculous!" https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump

I've said it before - This man represents a clear and present danger to our republic! And, although I have never wished him any personal harm, I do not pray for him in the same way that I have prayed for his predecessors. I do not ask God to sustain, protect or grant him success (it is not in the interest of our country to do so)!
