I find this paragraph from that NYT article laughable in light of the DOJ's "exoneration" of Hillary's 'intent' behind first concealing, then lying about, then ultimately destroying evidence contained on her illegal e-mail server.
from article:
"If Mr. Mueller opts to tailor a narrative that the president tried to obstruct the Russia investigation, he would have to clear several hurdles to make a strong case. He would need credible witnesses (Mr. Comey and Mr. Sessions have been the target of
concerted attacks by Mr. Trump and allies, undercutting their standing) and
evidence that Mr. Trump had criminal intent (the special counsel has told the president’s lawyers he
needs to question him to determine this).
Are you serious? They're saying on one hand "intent" cannot be used in the case of Hillary as a reason NOT to prosecute her for breaking the Law, but it
can be used in a possible criminal charge against Trump where no crime has even been committed? They can use what they think his "intent" was in order to prove a crime against him he didn't commit but they can excuse Hillary's "intent" to exonerate her from a crime she in fact did commit?
Scotty...beam me up!
