this analogy will “make sense” to everyone

[bbsam]

Did he thwart the investigation? At any time he could have shut it down. Did he?

Did Clinton shut Starr down?

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

Did he thwart the investigation?

Yes.

 

[vantexan]

Did Clinton shut Starr down?

Clinton wasn't impeached for obstruction. Lied under oath.

 

[bbsam]

Obstruction was one of the charges as well.

 

[Indecisi0n]

I came up with this one myself:
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get .

 

[vantexan]

Obstruction was one of the charges as well.

11 counts total. How many against Trump?

 

[bbsam]

Clinton wasn't impeached for obstruction. Lied under oath.

Obstruction was one of the charges as well.

11 counts total. How many against Trump?

So was Clinton impeached for obstruction or not?

 

[vantexan]

So was Clinton impeached for obstruction or not?

I'd have to read the counts. Knew about lying under oath. Lying to prevent investigators from finding the truth would most likely get a count of obstruction thrown in.

Lol. C’mon van. Just admit you were wrong. It’s ok.

 

[vantexan]

Lol. C’mon van. Just admit you were wrong. It’s ok.

What am I wrong about? Told you what I know. And if Starr could charge Clinton with 11 counts then why couldn't Mueller if there's something there?

 

[bbsam]

You said that Clinton was not charged with obstruction. He was, but not by Starr. By the House which is how impeachment works.

 

[Fuzzy Brown]

Imagine you are innocent of murder but guilty of a completely separate kidnapping.

Does the innocence of murder negate any obstruction that may take place in trying to hide the kidnapping?

Of course not.

That’s why the “underlying crime” makes no sense especially when dealing with a special prosecutor and a wide ranging mandate.

It does if there was no kidnapping.

 

[floridays]

Reporting back. I am correct. Again.

Actually you aren't, you listed two distinct crimes and neither are "obstruction."
Exactly what were the crimes, investigated that Trump is accused of (by your types) of obstructing the investigation.

 

[floridays]

Did Clinton shut Starr down?

Did Trump shut Mueller down?

 

[bbsam]

I listed 0. Mueller listed 11.

 

[bbsam]

Did Trump shut Mueller down?

Did I ever imply he did?

 

[oldngray]

I listed 0. Mueller listed 11.

Mueller listed 11 "possible". But could not find the evidence to prove any of them.

 

[Babagounj]

Mueller listed 11 "possible". But could not find the evidence to prove any of them.

No evidence means no charges can be filed, case closed.

 

[bbsam]

Mueller listed 11 "possible". But could not find the evidence to prove any of them.

Lol. No evidence? Might want to reread what it says.

 

[oldngray]

No evidence means no charges can be filed, case closed.

Mueller is a prosecutor and wasn't looking for or ignored any evidence that would help the defense. His entire focus was on building a case for prosecution. When his efforts came up empty it was very unethical for him to make extra innuendos when he had already determined he had no case. He had a binary decision - charge or not charge. It wasn't not charge ... but.
