Is AG Whitaker holding up all subpoenas and indictments?

Obviously, he would be following Trump's orders and would be part of the conspiracy of crooked lawyers that surround Donald Trump.

Indict them all !

Including Donald Trump. Let him take it to the courts.

This is a blatant abuse of our justice system and brazen in its arrogance.

The AG can ask for an explanation and can block the indictment if he concludes that the indictment violates Department policy. If he does this when the investigation is over, he has to send an explanation to Congress as to why he did it.

Separate problem- statute of limitations for most crimes is 3 years, which would extend into early 2021. So if it were obstruction, he could be indicted by.the next president. Unless he is 100% sure Trump will win in 2020, he better be careful.

OBSTRUCTION!

Thank Dog there was a blue wave and Dems will investigate some of it (hopefully before I end up in a padded room). This is killing me...the waiting.
