Why hasn't Trump ever been charged for the Mueller obstruction of justice counts?

This piece addresses something that I've been curious and frustrated about for a long time-- why Trump hasn't been prosecuted for the Mueller report obstruction counts-- is really important and worth a read.

TL;DR-- Bill Barr screwed it all up & he also interfered with the prosecution of other crimes by Trump. Barr did this in a way that makes it very difficult for the DOJ to revisit those charges.

Also John Durham continues to blow smoke around and screw up the prosecution of other Trump-related crimes.

Jan 6th was 'Legitimate Political Discourse' -- This TRASH Republican party! Unfuckingreal.

G.O.P. Declares Jan. 6 Attack ‘Legitimate Political Discourse’

The Republican National Committee voted to censure Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for participating in the inquiry into the deadly riot at the Capitol.

We've learned that Trump...
* fully intended to "overturn" the 2020 election
* wanted to seize voting machines
* wants to pardon 1/6 rioters and cop beaters

The Republican National Committee's response? To punish the only two Republicans who think this has no place in their party-- they censored Cheney and Kinzinger.

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE.

Or maybe it is all too believable for this party of traitors.
