Says the 8 year State Superior Court judge.
How come you never posted this?
Because she's a has been with no impact on me or millions of people's lives.

"But what about her emails!!"
Ahh, many of his videos are from over 3 years ago. You didn't think much of him then, right?
Hypocrite much?
nope, I am on record saying the FBI gave Clinton a pass. You condemn Trump on obstruction yet?
I am in the Dershowitz camp on that.
The no obstruction because there was no "collusion" camp? Remember that Mueller was tasked with investigating any crimes that came out as a result of Russian intervention. Trump had a 100 different reasons to obstruct in that case. And the law is clear about obstructing even if there is no underlying crime.

Ex-White House lawyer Don McGahn defies House subpoena for Mueller docs
WASHINGTON (AP) — A former White House lawyer defied a congressional subpoena Tuesday, setting the Trump administration on course for another collision with the Democratic-led House over its pursuit of documents related to the Russia investigation.
Don McGahn’s refusal to provide the documents to the House Judiciary Committee came at the instruction of the White House, which suggested they could be subject to executive privilege. Such a claim can shield some presidential material from disclosure.
President Donald Trump has defied requests from House Democrats since the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report last month. Republicans have largely united behind the president, with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday declaring “case closed” on Mueller’s Russia probe and potential obstruction by Trump. McConnell said Democrats are “grieving” the result.

Barr to Trump: Invoke executive privilege over redacted Mueller materials
The Justice Department informed the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday night that it would ask President Trump to assert executive privilege over underlying evidence in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report, a move all but assuring that Attorney General William P. Barr will be held in contempt of Congress.
In a late-night letter to Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), assistant attorney general Stephen E. Boyd argued that the Justice Department had tried to accommodate Democrats’ demands for the release of the full Mueller report, which the Judiciary panel subpoenaed for its investigation into the president.
But Boyd said that Democrats — who made a counteroffer to the Justice Department in a last-ditch negotiation session to stave off a scheduled contempt vote for Barr Wednesday morning – “has responded to our accommodation efforts by escalating its unreasonable demands.”
“Such unreasonable demands, together with the Committee’s precipitous threat to hold the Attorney General in contempt, are a transparent attempt to short-circuit the constitutionally mandated accommodation process and provoke an unnecessary conflict between our respective branches of government,” Boyd wrote.
He later added: “In the face of the Committee’s threatened contempt vote, the Attorney General will be compelled to request that the President invoke executive privilege with respect to the materials subject to the subpoena.”
