(985 posts)42. But, if Trump's new FBI Director & Attorney General are able to quash Mueller's investigation
There won't be a public record of testimony about Trump's obstruction. The details are over my head, but I don't really understand why testifying to Congress about Trump obstructing their investigation or collusion with Russia would invalidate the investigation. John Dean testified publicly during Watergate that Nixon obstructed justice. It's the public testimony that would sway public opinion enough to create momentum for impeachment hearings.
My concern is that without public testimony, Trump and his zombie supporters will be able to continue to claim the allegations are all just lies created by liberal media, and that if he can get people at Justice who will disempower Mueller, he could never be held accountable.

OP
Can any of them get in trouble for what they are doing now? Is any of this obstruction of justice?

I think that's why they are answering (and non-answering) the way they are.

We also have to remember that there are good guys behind the scenes doing stuff we don't know about!

Frustrating as it is, we do not want them revealing info that would compromise the investigation.

While a cover-up is possible (& juicy), what you're saying is probably accurate IME. nt
