Trump: [A] lot of people say to me, 'How you survived is one of the most incredible things.' Don't forget, I fired Comey. Had I not fired Comey, you might not be talking to me right now about a beautiful book of four years at the White House. And we'll see about the future. The future's going to be very interesting. But I fired Comey, that whole group, and now that group is coming back again. I mean, it's not believable. It shouldn't be allowed to happen. It shouldn't be allowed to happen."
I read that yes, thank you for sharing it again
He has explained this. Because the power to impeach lay in Congress, he thought it would be “unfair to Trump” if he opined on guilt for obstruction of justice. And now that Trump is out of office the issue for the AG is whether to indict Trump for obstruction.
The big mistake - a huge one - was Pelosi’s decision not to impeach him. That decision was colored, of course, by Baghdad Barr and Trump having a month to lie about the report before the public even saw it.
Seen the quote. Doesn’t mean much. I can’t come up with anything the FBI would have on Trump they could charge him with. I mean by now you must be aware there was nothing damning in the Russia collusion hoax tall tale to use against him, right? That was simply a distraction to keep the “constant scandal” lefty meme going. The FBI, like Mueller, would have had nothing to charge.
That is incorrect. Motive is the critical issue.
An outright admission of obstruction of justice. Again.
It was never fully clarified, but Mueller did correct the record
Trump admitted no such thing in the reference in the top post
Long after the barrage of lies from Baghdad Barr and Trump, Mueller did say what I said above - that Trump could be impeached, but not charged criminally, while he was president. He is no longer president so he can now be charged criminally. Which Garland should do ASAP.It was never fully clarified, but Mueller did correct the record
Mueller clarifies comments on whether he could indict Trump
The special counsel's report said he never came to a determination about whether the president should be charged because of DOJ rules.www.google.com

“I was going to say before, if I didn't fire Comey, they were looking to take down the President of the United States. If I didn't fire him, and some people said, 'He made a mistake when he fired Comey.' And now those same people said it was the most incredible instinctual moves that they've ever seen, because I wouldn't — I might be here with you, perhaps we'll be talking about something else. But I don't think I could have survived if I didn't fire him, because it was like a hornet's nest."
Trump didn't hack the DNC.
Who said he did?
That’s right. He asked the Russians to do it. And they did.
The suspicion that there was at least implied benefit to the Russians was the reason for the investigation....there was never evidence that Trump himself may have communicated that to the Russians, but that didn't exclude some sort of favorable treatment suggested by Carter Page or others.
He confessed to a crime
