Attorney Bryan Rotella on Mueller: A Witch Hunt Is Not Obstruction of Justice

EXCERPT:

ROTELLA: "With respect to Jesse, I think we’ll see Halloween costumes as we’ve moved into September that are witches in hunting gear. I think they’ll be teaching witch hunt as a legal term in law schools. I’ve never heard it this much in public discourse. A witch hunt is not obstruction of justice. You know how we know that? In Bill Clinton when we dealt with it with Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky. He said he thought it was a witch hunt by the vast right wing conspiracy. Right, to get him for a regime change. That’s what he said. And that the GOP was all in and they were going to go at all costs to do it. We got an impeachment and the Senate rightfully with the Supreme Court presiding ended up saying there was no conviction. Bill Clinton left office more popular than when he went in. When you say obstruction I’ll call it an unassisted triple play in baseball. That’s the high standard a president needs to meet in an unfortunate way for it to be an actual obstruction of justice on a president."
