Senate Investigation Finds an Obstruction of Justice Case

December 3, 2017 · 2:29 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) told NBC News that a Senate investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election has revealed a possible obstruction of justice case against President Trump.

Said Feinstein: “I think we see this in the indictments, the four indictments, and pleas that have just taken place and some of the comments that are being made… I see it in the hyper-frenetic attitude of the White House, the comments every day, the continual tweets. And I see it most importantly in what happened with the firing of Director Comey, and it is my belief that that is directly because he did not agree to ‘lift the cloud’ of the Russia investigation. That’s obstruction of justice.”
