For months (years!) we have listened to ‘top intel types’ from the Obama administration insist Trump colluded with Russia, and that entire narrative seems to have come crashing down in a matter of 48 hours this past weekend when Mueller submitted his report and called for no further indictments.
Gosh, you’d think a bunch of important people like John Brennan, Susan Rice, James Clapper, Samantha Power, and James Comey would be a teensy bit smarter about these sorts of things, right? Sharyl Attkisson seems to agree with us.
If Clapper, Brennan, Rice, Power, Comey genuinely believed Trump "colluded" with Russia and he didn't, what does that say about the judgement of our one-time top intel types?

Then again, they did work for Obama sooooo …
If some of our top intel people falsely believe that the President colluded with Russia, and if they then pursue a campaign to convince others, leak and wiretap– what can the President do about it that they then don't portray as obstruction? #Catch22 https://t.co/US3euc7EhC

Bingo.
Anything Trump did to defend himself when it appears he may have been falsely accused of collusion could be viewed as obstruction of justice, but now that it’s likely a done deal and Trump didn’t collude how can they prove obstruction of justice if there was no crime?
Ugh, it’s too early on Monday morning to think this deeply.
Quick, someone make a fart joke.
What we knew for 8 Years of Obama, they were worthless.

This is pretty horrible.
Yep Standing up for yourself and declaring innocence and fight for your rights they equate to Obstruction when i counter with – obstruct what there was NO CRIME to Obstruct

Order a presidential commision to investigate it, prosecute and clean up our top Intel agencies.

We could totally get behind something like this.
They're more interested in playing games than protecting the American people.

Yup. This has never been about protecting the American people, it’s always been about a power play and sticking it to Trump for daring to win the election.
It’s scary as Hell when you think about it.
