Truth-suppressing acts by co-conspirators Sessions, Flynn, Kushner create liable for Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice. 18 U.S.C. §§ 1621 to 1623 -- Given perjury, subornation of perjury, false declarations, the assertion of a false affirmative statement by an individual testifying under oath accompanied by other obstructive, evasive testimony, such as a false denial of knowledge or memory, an offense may exist. 18 U.S.C. §§ 371 and 372--conspiracies to commit any offense against the United States, or to prevent or retaliate in response to the lawful discharge of the duties of Federal officers ...

18 U.S. Code § 1505 - Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees

..... Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law under which any pending proceeding is being had before any department or agency of the United States, or the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress—

Shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.

It is all there. Kushner is in it too. Turns out, that apple didn't fall far from the tree either. (His sisters selling of US visas for giving big bucks to Kushner Industries). Sessions too? What happened to his recusal from everything to do w RUSSIA. You think that would include firing the person honing in on the RUSSIA connections w DT and team.

I just picture the family and pack, including Kushner, sitting down and deciding they have to stop this Russian probe, especially after subpeonas were issued. Brainstorming. Then, they waited for an opening and coming up w a scheme.. Really, a third grader would see through this.

Of course he admitted guilt. And he'll appoint some stooge like Giuliani to try to shut down the investigation, but the FBI isn't the only game in town. This will blow up in his face like an exploding cigar - like Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre backfired, bigly.

63. Apr 12 - Trump hints he might fire James Comey in a last ditch effort to hinder Russia investigation
Wed May 10, 2017, 02:55 AM
May 2017
http://www.palmerreport.com/politics/fire-james-comey-donald-trump-russia/2290/
By Bill Palmer Apr 12, 2017

Donald Trump gave an interview to Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo last night which may have been timed to try to distract from a trio of Russia scandal bombshells that were in the process of dropping. But rather than try to shift the national dialogue toward one of his own political initiatives, Trump used his interview to launch a not particularly veiled threat toward FBI Director James Comey, who is currently investigating the Trump campaign for its role in Russian election rigging.

Yesterday it was revealed that former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page was under FISA surveillance by the FBI dating all the way back to last summer (link). Then earlier today it was revealed that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is registering as a pro-Kremlin foreign agent. And now this evening it’s been revealed that Manafort received $13 million in “loans” from Trump business associates the day departed the campaign amid scandal over his Russia ties (link). So what did Trump want to talk about during his Fox Business interview last night?

Trump told Bartiromo that while he has confidence in James Comey, it’s “not too late” to fire him. That’s not really how these things work; Comey is just a few years into a ten year appointed term. The president firing the FBI Director is so rare, even with proper cause, that it’s been thoroughly contested when it does happen (source: Constitution Center). Trump would have no cause to fire Comey.

Comey is getting to close to the truth, so of course he's got to go. Not only it, but all of them are traitors, all of them are guilty of treason. Also, I fully believe 45 is a full blown member of the communist party. Just my opinion. To get any help from them, he had to swear an allegiance to them, otherwise why would they help him.

How did McConnell know if he waited until after the election he would have
somebody else to vote for for SCOTUS?

Ryan and other Republicans used the Russia hacked data in their campaigns.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10028671176

Paul Ryan & Republican Establishment Used Hacked Info From Russia Against Democrats:

Let's not forget that a super PAC tied to Paul Ryan used material provided by Russia's hacking of the DNC and DCCC.

It was known that Russia had stolen material from the DNC and DCCC and a Paul Ryan Super PAC and as well as other Republican groups used it.

It wasn't just Hillary Clinton being attacked. It wasn't just Trump benefiting. There's potentially more collusion than just that between Trump's team and Russia.

BTW both Sessions and Pence are up tp their eyeballs in this crap too.

It was a coup and we had treason.

Benedict Arnold was, in fact, a patriot who turned traitor.

Trump has never been that.

And now his Attorney General, who has likewise never been a patriot nor a man of honor, has broken his word with the American people and put a serious stumbling block in the way of the very same Russian hacking investigations from which he claimed publicly to recuse himself.

Both of these amoral, unethical little men have to go, and with them the rest of the ugly tribe of plutocrats, fascists, and family members President Trump brought with him to the seat of government. There is no way the American Republic will survive a full term for either of them.
