Fmr. U.S. Attorney: There Is No Evidence of Obstruction of Justice

EXCERPT:

WHITAKER: "But I want to take the contrary view at this panel. There is no criminal case to be made on an obstruction of justice. We have the star witness right now who has testified and then cross-examed a little bit. Quite frankly, his story just doesn't rise to the level of the intent necessary on behalf of the President to even substantiate a criminal case. So now we end up in what David was describing, which is a political arena of trying to — the balance of power in Congress and whether or not anyone's convinced that the President is hoping that this investigation will go away is actually— you know, there's anything afoot there."
