Obstruction of Justice in the Mueller Report: A Heat Map
By Quinta Jurecic
Sunday, April 21, 2019, 2:32 PM
The Mueller report describes numerous instances in which President Trump may have obstructed justice. A few days ago, I threw together a quick spreadsheet on Twitter to assess how Special Counsel Robert Mueller seemed to assess the evidence.
Unexpectedly, that spreadsheet got a fair amount of attention—so I thought I would delve back into the evidence to provide a revised visualization with a little more nuance, which will hopefully be helpful to people attempting to parse a legally and factually dense document.
The key question is how Robert Mueller and his team assessed the three elements “common to most of the relevant statutes” relating to obstruction of justice: an obstructive act, a nexus between the act and an official proceeding, and corrupt intent.
As Mueller describes, the special counsel’s office “gathered evidence … relevant to the elements of those crimes and analyzed them within an elements framework—while refraining from reaching ultimate conclusions about whether crimes were committed,” because of the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC)’s guidelines against the indictment of a sitting president.
The below heat map is an effort to simplify Mueller’s analysis of the evidence in relation to the three common elements of the obstruction statutes. Instances of possibly obstructive conduct are identified by their section marking in Volume II of the report. (Section A is a general overview of the Trump campaign’s response to public reporting on Russian support for Trump and does not contain an analysis.)
Some sections contained varying analysis of multiple possibly obstructive acts, which are identified separately. More information about how the special counsel assessed each possible instance of obstruction is available below the chart itself, with page numbers corresponding to Volume II.
I should emphasize that the below is my interpretation of the evidence as Mueller seems to provide it—others may have different readings. (Richard Hoeg has provided a slightly different take, also available on Twitter.) My assessment rests on an assumption that Mueller is correct in his legal analysis that a president may still obstruct justice even if the act in question is taken entirely under his Article II authority.
Under Attorney General William Barr’s reading of Article II, this heat map would look very different. I’ve also accepted at face value Mueller’s statutory argument that 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2) “states a broad, independent, and unqualified prohibition on obstruction of justice,” rather than, as Trump’s personal counsel apparently argued to Mueller, covering only “acts that would impair the integrity and availability of evidence.”

The Case for Lowering the Voting Age
If the standard we hold for who can vote is the consent of the governed, why shouldn’t children be included?
https://daily.jstor.org/case-lowering-voting-age/
The push to give 18-year-olds the vote started when Congress began drafting them in 1942. In both World Wars, the draft began with men ages 21 and older but expanded to include younger men as the need for service members increased.
As the historian Rebecca de Schweinitz writes in her contribution to Age in America, the concepts of citizen and soldier have been linked for a long time, with Americans generally viewing 21 as the age for taking up both the gun and the ballot. Between 1942 and 1971, youth activists (and their allies) who wanted to reduce the voting age pointed to young men killed in Europe and the Pacific, and then in Korea and Vietnam, who never had the chance to cast a vote.
It’s true that not all 16-year-olds are rational, politically savvy thinkers. But, as theoretical ethicist John Wall writes, it’s not as though we hold adults to that standard:
If a particular level of competence were indeed necessary for suffrage, then one could argue that many schizophrenic, senile, low IQ, or even just thoughtless adults should be denied it; while many intelligent, politically active, or even just ordinary children and youth should not.
In a 2014 paper, Wall argued for the total enfranchisement of children . Drawing on an actual proposal introduced in Germany, he suggested that children should receive the right to vote the moment they’re born, with their parents empowered to act as proxies. Then, whenever children develop the interest and capacity to register, they can claim the vote for themselves.
In this system, even very young children would be acknowledged as people with political needs, with their parents recognized as the best judges of what those needs are. Meanwhile, older kids with an interest in politics—like the ones organizing around gun violence across the country—would be able to take part in the political system they live in.
If the standard we hold for who should vote really is the consent of the governed, there’s no reason they shouldn’t.
'You have me down......'. So what?
You're down for straw-man arguments, fact-challenged nonsensical posts and fanciful litmus tests.
No inmate voting. Once they're out, fine.
Non-citizen voting is a non-starter.
Do you support Trump's continuous lying, breathtaking ignorance and his open and continued obstruction of justice?
Thanks in advance.
“Voting is a responsibility,” we tell benighted, credulous Trumpanzees. Gather information, make the best decision.
Duh, fake news, respond the dumb asses and presto, the worst POTUS in American history appears.
We WISH we could attribute your bad judgment to Tide Pods, we could take those away from you.
But shitty educations that leave you susceptible to fear mongering demagogues like Trump? That ship sailed a long time ago.
Some 16 year old's are no better equipped to vote intelligently than are some 36 year old GOP voters. So what?
How could they more badly misuse the franchise and make a poorer decision than you did?
Significant Digits For Monday, June 10, 2019

$35,000 per night
NASA has announced that it will provide private citizens room and board on the International Space Station — for $35,000 a night. Add to that $18,000 per kilogram for round-trip travel and $17,500 an hour for the astronauts’ time (not including tips, presumably) and pretty soon you’re talking about real money for that space vacation. [The Washington Post]
$33 million
The 12th and apparently final X-Men movie, “Dark Phoenix,” earned just $33 million in its opening weekend at the domestic box office. That’s the worst debut of any X-Men picture, probably not helped by its 23 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes and the fact that it came on the heels of “Avengers: Endgame.”
As a FiveThirtyEight writer, my favorite X-Man is Longshot, who has the power of probability field manipulation. [BuzzFeed News]
Uhhh, my friend, you've confused the Comcast turtle...….Mr. Slowsky………with the as yet unnamed turkey with the smoking problem.

Trump's statement on the close call between the U.S. cruiser and the Russian destroyer, which was clearly a Russian provocation:
There was some very fine seamanship on both sides.

The President Is A Cheater--today's LA Times.
Link: https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-heffernan-trump-cheater-20190608-story.html
The Mueller report amply chronicles President Trump’s staggering, decades-long crime spree. Like an iron skillet to the head, the extent of Trump’s corruption seems to have stupefied voters, legal scholars and, of course, Congress, all of whom are currently at a loss for a remedy.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, in her run for the Democratic nomination for president, put it best: “If he were any other person in the United States, based on what’s documented in that report, he would be carried off in handcuffs.”
But because our norms appear to be inadequate to the current catastrophe in the White House, Trump is not yet in handcuffs. So while Congress equivocates about the Mueller report and its implications for impeachment, voters ought to recognize a more homespun truth that it doesn’t take a degree in con law to understand.
The president is a cheater.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakfast_of_Champions_(film)
Breakfast of Champions is a 1999 American satirical black comedy film adapted and directed by Alan Rudolph, from Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.'s 1973 novel of the same name. Though the producers entered it into the 49th Berlin International Film Festival,[1] the film was panned by critics and was a box office bomb that was withdrawn from theatres before going into wide release.
Box Office[edit]
The film made $178,278 against a budget of $12 million.
Critical response[edit]
Breakfast of Champions received negative reviews, scoring a rating of 26% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 47 reviews. The consensus says: "The movie is overwhelmed by its chaotic visual effects and disjointed storyline."[4]
In his review for The New York Times, Stephen Holden wrote, "In many ways, Breakfast of Champions is an incoherent mess.
But it never compromises its zany vision of the country as a demented junkyard wonderland in which we are all strangers groping for a hand to guide us through the looking glass into an unsullied tropical paradise of eternal bliss."[5]
Entertainment Weekly gave the film an "F" rating and Owen Gleiberman wrote, "Rudolph, in an act of insane folly, seems to think that what matters is the story. The result could almost be his version of a Robert Altman disaster — a movie so unhinged it practically dares you not to hate it."[6]
Impressive cast though:

Summary
https://www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/s/slaughterhousefive/summary-and-analysis/chapter-5
On the trip to Tralfamadore, Billy asks for something to read. After reading the only Earthling novel onboard, he is given some Tralfamadorian books. Unable to read the alien language, he is surprised that the books' tiny text is laid out in brief knots of symbols separated by stars. He is told that the clumps of symbols are like telegrams — short, urgent messages. Tralfamadorians read them all at once, not one after the other; there is no beginning, no middle, no end. There are no causes, no effects.
Trump's Tweets?
The morphine triggers another time trip, this time to spring 1948. Billy finds himself in a New York veterans' hospital, where he has voluntarily committed himself to a ward for nonviolent mental patients. In the bed next to Billy is a former infantry captain named Eliot Rosewater, who introduces Billy to the science-fiction novels of Kilgore Trout.
Billy and Rosewater have one thing in common — both have found life meaningless and are trying to come to grips with the horrors of World War II.
During the war, Rosewater mistook a 14-year-old fireman for a German soldier and shot him. Billy experienced the senseless destruction of life during the firebombing of Dresden. Science fiction is a tool that Billy and Rosewater both use to reconstruct themselves and their universe.
No, I mean the sources on that chart that are the mother's milk for your ignorance.
LOL! It's probable that the casino operators will completely control the 'ambience' as in other than approaching and leaving the lakefront site you'll see nothing but the gaming areas and or the shows.
It's conceivable that there could be two sites:
Loop casino could complement lakefront gambling
https://www.loopnorth.com/news/thompson1023.htm
With both Illinois and Chicago in a deep revenue canyon, the obvious solution is a partnership between the state and the city to launch a pair of gambling casinos. Repurposing both the Thompson Center and Lakeside Center – the original McCormick Place East – as new downtown casinos will raise billions in gaming tax dollars for both the state and the city.
Experts say downtown gaming also would help expand convention and tourist business with spin-off revenue flowing to hotels, restaurants, museums, and Michigan Avenue shopping, generating up to $6.6 billion in annual revenue, with direct tax revenue of $3-4 billion to the city and state. All this new revenue will help lead Illinois and Chicago back to fiscal stability.
City has 600,000 gamers and players
An estimated 25 percent of Chicago’s population are casino gamers or video poker players, and experts say they are eager to line up for the action and the fun of downtown gambling.
“Everyone from Chicago will travel downtown to the casinos,” predicts Roger Zak, a twice-a-week casino gambler who plays for entertainment and perks. “It’s all about money. I’m betting on a Chicago casino, and the odds of getting one are 100 percent.”
The adaptive reuse of both of these existing buildings as “instant casinos” is a perfect solution to the revenue crunch because the state and city will not have to wait months or years for a revenue stream from a new-construction casino.
Thompson Center, which is only steps from the subway and other public transportation, has 945,000 square feet of space. Imagine the Las Vegas-style action on the giant ground floor gaming area with 200 manned gaming tables and the sound bouncing around in the glass-walled Thompson Center. Add 1,000 slots and video poker machines on upper floors overlooking the main gambling pit, add atrium hotel rooms, and you have a set for a Hollywood movie.
Lakeside Center, which looks a lot like an aircraft carrier and already is anchored on the shore overlooking Lake Michigan, would be the new City of Chicago casino.
Construction sources say the building originally was designed and wired decades ago for a future casino and there is plenty of nearby parking.
Who knew?
Move in 1,000 slots and video poker machines, add 200 manned gaming tables, toss in a few restaurants and bars, and Mayor Rahm “Black Jack” Emanuel could be in business.
It's a long way from a decision as to where it's going.
Feasibility studies first, a lot of interests to be balanced.
Since the city will get 33% of casino revenue I suspect that whichever site can be persuasively shown to be the highest producer of sustained revenue will be the winner.
The ONLY people who think they learn anything from those bullshit sources are people who never learned how to learn.
Capon, You've demonstrated time and again that you have zero capacity for assessing what is true and what isn't.
Take another look. No one here posts anything from the sources at the bottom left of the chart. But go ahead, post something sourced from the lower right..."Nonsense damaging to public discourse".... and take notice where FAUX News is perched, like a big damned dumb buzzard.
Take that metaphor a step further and come back to assume your accustomed role...…………….. as road kill.
Just Stop It: Trump Didn't Rise to Any Damn Occasion in Europe
http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/
Trump also reduced everything to money, to how successful people are, to how tough they are as negotiators. Talking about the Vietnam War, which he missed because of (bullshit) bone spurs, he said, "Nobody ever, you know, you're talking about Vietnam and at that time nobody ever heard of the country.
Today they're doing very well, in fact on trade they are brutal. They're very brutal." Putting aside the fact that he's admitting he didn't know anything about Vietnam (lots of people had "heard" of it), it's like he wants us to know...what?...now they torture us in trade talks?
The most jarring moment was probably his praise of the gambling ability of the motherfucker who murdered 58 people and injured over 400 in the Las Vegas massacre. The President of the United States said of this white terrorist, "He was actually a pretty smart guy. He was supposedly a good successful gambler and there's almost no such thing as a successful gambler. And he went out and he -- what he did was incredible."
I mean, sure, he's one of the biggest mass murderers in history, but, damn, that dude could rock the Texas Hold 'Em table at Caesar's Palace.
Goddamn us for electing this yutz.
Two other things from that bad acid trip of an interview.
First, of course he mentioned his 2016 election. "I had an inauguration, which I have to say was spectacular. And we had a big election night win that was, you know, one of the great evenings," he said. Yes, Gramps, we know. Now tell us again about the time you banged porn stars.
And when Morgan pressed him on banning transgender soldiers from the US military, Trump not only completely upended the supposed (bullshit) justification, which was unit cohesion or some such shit. He punked out and essentially said his hands were tied because of military regulations on drug usage. No, really: "You have very strict rules and regulations on drugs and prescription drugs and all of these different things and they [transgender soldiers] blow it out of the water."
This was one of many, many head-smacking, embarrassing moments on this loony sideshow. Yeah, Trump read a fuckin' speech and didn't accidentally knock over a D-Day veteran.
Eisenhower must have been rolling over and over and over in his grave. Patton must have wanted to shove his hand up from the ground and smack Trump's smarmy, wimpy mug. Down in Hell, Hitler must have thought it was good to be represented at the ceremony.
I really appreciate how you place the punchlines at the very beginning of your joke posts. Keep up the helpful work.
Provide a link supporting that claim.
Great find. I should probably forward the name 'Buzz Winddrip' to Shower Cap. He usually asterisks obscure references to later explain at the end of his blog.
Of course he may choose to vulgarize it to Dickdrip to reference the 'hazardous duty' that Trump moronically likened to 'his Vietnam'.
Hell I'll give him that too, gladly.
I must have missed it. Enjoy my editorial comments.
I've noticed several of my posts duplicated, sometimes the same day or several days later. It happens.
And reasonably smart dogs seated in front a Fox News broadcast, emotionally intelligent as they are, will turn their heads toward their owners with that beseeching look that says "can we take a walk now, please, for your sake more than mine?"
LOL!!!! The White House tailor threw Trump under the bus
Trump's look is not my fault, says White House tailor as he insists he doesn't know where President got his poorly fitted state banquet attire from - while Savile Row expert reveals: 'It's wrong in every way!'
Left unlabeled in the picture below?
1.) The scowl is inappropriate and in stark contrast.
2.) Trump is the fattest one in the picture, and we're not talking about just his head.
3.) Thought bubble above Queen Mum.... "I really HAVE grown too old for this shit!"
Ismet Dil's company has provided outfits to American Presidents for a century
Mr Dil, 69, tailor at Scogna Formal Wear, said he did not recognise Trump's suit
Patrick Murphy, from Savile Row tailor Davies and Son, said 'everything you can imagine' was wrong with suit
The official tailor to the White House has insisted he's not to blame for President Donald Trump's ill-fitting tuxedo at the state banquet with the Queen.
Ismet Dil, 69, whose company has provided dinner jackets and tails to America's leaders for a century, claimed he didn't recognise the suit, which was heavily mocked online and criticised for being 'wrong in every way' by a Savile Row tailor.
'This is my profession. It’s not right,' Mr Dil, the master tailor at Scogna Formal Wear told The Times.
'I don’t care if he is president. Someone is responsible — somebody helped him get dressed like that.'
Now there's a bumper sticker. :)
Trump chose to wear a ludicrously long white waistcoat, paired with a tux jacket that stopped halfway up his midriff and featured overlong sleeves.

Pulled that our of your ass. Absolutely no corroboration of your absurd claim to be found anywhere, not EVEN on Fox News.
Fox News is less trusted than CNN and MSNBC, Fox News graphic shows
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/fox-news-is-less-trusted-than-cnn-and-msnbc-fox-news-graphic-shows-2018-04-09
By Shawn Langlois
Published: Apr 21, 2018 9:29 a.m. ET
Fox’s Howard Kurtz chides AP for initially failing to report he intended to display the graphic later in the segment
That is not the graphic we are looking for. Hold off. Take that down, please.’
That’s host Howard Kurtz asking for the Fox News control room to take down this graphic, which was shown at the wrong point during a “Media Buzz” segment on Sunday:
The graphic was shown again later in the show, but the host didn’t exactly focus on the fact that Fox News lagged competitors by the poll’s measure. The internet, of course, focused on exactly that:
Aunt Crabby calls Bullshit ???? @DearAuntCrabby
Fox News accidentally broadcast graphic showing they're least trusted network https://buff.ly/2qhffbI
On the other hand, the Monmouth poll Kurtz was referring to also found that, among Republicans, Trump is much more trustworthy than CNN and MSNBC.
“One bright lining in the whole fake-news debate is that major cable news operations are still more trusted than a single officeholder,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute. “Unless you are a Republican, in which case Trump’s Twitter feed may be your go-to news source.”
Which, if Rotten Tomatoes was reviewing Republicans' intelligence and judgement means ya get this:
Which, for our purposes, means GOPERS are certified rotten and just plain fuckin' stupid. :)
The findings in the poll, as they relate to Fox, tend to support this viral chart of news bias, which has become quite the hot-button topic:
Kurtz later took issue with the initial reporting of the incident by the Associated Press, which he claimed distorted the story: “The AP reported my request to take down the graphic and ended the story there, creating a false impression by not mentioning that I called for the very same graphic shortly afterward,” Kurtz said Monday on his Facebook FB, +2.98%page. “This echoed partisan chatter online that I had somehow panicked or didn’t want to show the poll graphic, which is flatly contradicted by reality.”
Which changes the substance of the surveys not a whit.
The AP has since corrected its story.
Fox News-parent 21st Century Fox and MarketWatch-parent News Corp. share common ownership.
Looks like it's primarily a CRM marketing term rather than a tool for confinement to premises. Just wait. If I could spit-ball it, somebody will run with it.
Using Geo-fencing and Beaconing Technology to Increase Revenues
Written by Prem Khatri Posted December 19, 2014 by Carolina
https://www.chetu.com/blogs/hospitality/how-casinos-are-using-geo-fencing-and-beaconing-technology-to-increase-revenues.php
Although location based services are primarily used for customer relationship management, it is only part of the equation. What is going to separate a software from the competition is how well geo-fencing and beaconing can be tied back and integrated to business intelligence modules.
Integrating data mining and report generation applications that portray accurate information about behavior, demographics, and user movements are important information to casinos. Casinos can gain insight into travel patterns internally and externally of single or groups of people over time.
Using geo-fencing insights is helpful to manipulate ad spend from lower performing locations to better, more desirable locations to increase effectiveness. Beaconing data can be used to map the effectiveness of gaming positions and what particular games are the most popular.
The business intelligence insights are important to casinos who can use this data to bring in more patrons and maximize the casino floor to create more revenue through gambling.
Yeah I forgot about the entertainment, shops and eats
Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor not a dancer.
Trump hasn't been right about anything in his entire grifter life.
Enemy of the people is a commie term. Amazing how easily authoritarians of all stipes gravitate to its use.
Trump has been challenged and documented on an unprecedented number of lies, at least to people who know fact from fiction, shit from Shinola.
Sorry for your difficulties in that area.
Your parking ticket will be validated for FREE parking after the geo-fenced chip you are given upon entering the casino confirms a minimum 2 hour stay within the confines....no exits and reentries....of the casino.
Should be enough time for the city to be assured that the 'house' will relieve the gamblers of enough money at a 33% cut to more than make up for the parking revenue give back.
You're not coming in here to slip out the back door for dinner and a movie, Sparky. In fact, put that on an electric sign at the entrance.
I just made that up, but it sure TF sounds like a technically feasible solution for the parking issue. LOL!
No question the Thompson center comes down and some new traffic configurations need to be created.
But yeah, the convention center location makes the most sense for the reasons we've both mentioned.
Not to any sentient being able to discern the same anti-science bias in both the Soviet cover-up coverup of the accident and the denial of climate change science by the GOP.
Same damned dumb apparatchiks. VERY real.
