He should also be indicted for furthering a conspiracy to obstruct justice, as well as seditious conspiracy.

Mueller should also snare Paul "the Invertebrate" Ryan, Mitch McTurtle, Chuck Grasshole, and the Sedition Caucus of Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, etc.

But like the other co-conspirators in the House, the Senate, and the White House: he should face a trial for his obstruction of the investigation.

20. Republicans risk becoming accomplices in obstruction of justice

Lock them up https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2018/01/26/republicans-risk-becoming-accomplices-in-obstruction-of-justice/?utm_term=.969c26c70804

One can imagine that leaking this information was another way to head off errant action by the president. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress have shown none of the courage Comey, Wray, McGahn, etc., demonstrated. With the exception of chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Republicans have demonstrated little inclination to dig deeply into the scandal or to restrain Trump. Two bipartisan bills seeking to hinder Trump from firing Mueller remain dormant. Democrats should insist these get an up-or-down vote.

Moreover, the antics of House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) should be seen in the context of Trump’s multiple efforts to decapitate the FBI and the Russia investigation. Nunes is plowing the way — cooking up conspiracy theories and propounding baseless allegations against Mueller and the FBI — to predispose the public to accept Mueller’s firing. He is encouraging, almost baiting, Trump to fire Mueller. He is also assisting Trump by tainting the jury (the American people), if you will, to accept or even applaud Mueller’s firing. From the unmasking stunt to his latest “memo,” he has tried to distract from the Russian threat and discredit law enforcement.....

Nunes is in every sense cooperating — colluding, you could say — with the ongoing attempts to obstruct justice. It is indefensible.

Nevertheless, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) gives him free rein to keep this up. Neither of them have shown anything near the fidelity to the rule of law that Comey, McGahn, Wray and even Sessions (caveat: his lack of candor under oath to the Senate and participation in Comey’s firing may also implicate him) have demonstrated. Neither Nunes nor Ryan seems to grasp that setting up barriers to constrain Trump is the right and constitutional thing to do. It also amounts to protecting Trump from Trump. You almost wonder if Ryan is giving Trump enough rope to hang himself

The puppet master is directing this drama from the Speaker's office. Let's face it, this is Paul Ryan's mission.

as long as he's hanged for his TREASON. In this treasonous little rat's case, the only due process is one that ends at the end of a rope.

indict him if you really want to observe legal niceties, but hang him. Or hang him First, THEN indict him and give him a fair trial. Like I said, I don't care--as long as the treasonous little rat-bastard hangs.
