“This week about 800 former federal prosecutors (so far) have signed a letter objecting to Attorney General William Barr’s declaration that special counsel Robert Mueller’s report did not support charges that President Donald Trump obstructed justice.” In their view, the President’s conduct “would, in the case of any other person … result in multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice.”

“The Mueller Report will be interesting for what it tells us about the evidence Congress will be considering in determining whether to impeach Donald J. Trump for obstruction of justice.” Most of “the offenses, including the felony campaign crimes we already know Trump has been accused of by federal prosecutors, are more serious than the offenses the Republicans impeached President Bill Clinton for not long ago.”
