Paul Butler: It ‘Sounds Like the President Committed Obstruction of Justice’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BUTLER: "If you track the statute for obstruction of justice, trying to impede an official investigation, it sounds like the president committed obstruction of justice. Now if you bring that kind of charge against the president, you have to win. You have to prove it. And so, yes, we have this admission to Lester holt. He’s going to look at a series in which trump seems to be trying to stall the investigation. We’re a long way away from, not an indictment because a sitting president can’t be indicted but a suggestion of impeachment, a stern report. Still a long way away from that, but this is an important development. He’s got 16 of the country’s best prosecutors looking at Trump and obstruction of justice.”
