MSNBC Published on Nov 20, 2018
A New York Times report reveals President Trump wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecutor two of his biggest political adversaries: Hillary Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey. Former Prosecutor Gene Rossi tells Ari Melber that based on the reporting, he could “draft an indictment against” Trump for an “attempt to obstruct justice”.
Specifically the committee charged that the President,. in violation of his constitutional oath to uphold the law, “engaged personally and through his subordinates or agents in a course of conduct or plan designed to delay, impede, and obstruct the investigation” of the ill-fated burglary of the Democratic headquarters in the Watergate complex on June 17, 1972.
The article of impeachment listed nine methods by which he was alleged to have carried out the plan to obstruct justice.
They included accusations that Mr. Nixon had made “false pr misleading statements” to investigators, had concealed evidence of criminal wrongdoing, had counseled associates to commit perjury, had misused sensitive agencies of the Government and had approved or allowed the payment of hush money to convicted criminals.
The decision of the Judiciary Committee came painfully, as many of the members noted, hut, after months of investigation and days of both decorous and discordant debate, with swiftness.
Never Again
“I hope not one of us ever has to look into another matter of impeachment again,” Representative Walter Flowers, an Alabama Democrat, remarked just before the vote in which he decided in favor of impeachment.
