I'm no fan of the Tangerine Man, but the fact that prosecutors see a reason to prosecute, doesn't mean a crime was committed, only that they feel there is enough evidence to bring proceedings against Trump, which also doesn't mean there is enough evidence there that a conviction is likely. Lots of reasons prosecutors initiate proceedings, not all of which are based solely on the law and the facts at hand.
I would also tend to give less weight to the views of prosecutors in such matters. Of course prosecutors see a crime, it's what they are trained to do. If that many bi-partisan judges (or defence counsel for that matter) said the same thing the prosecutors did, it would be more telling IMHO.

You can’t obstruct justice for a “crime” your not guilty of or did not exist. How long are most of you going to believe this charade? Looking forward to excitement ahead!
Hey Perry Mason there is no indictment for colluding because there is no crime of collusion. Second you absolutely can be guilty of obstruction if you interfere with a law enforcement investigation.
You are a profoundly ignorant man, and terrible debater, and it's obvious your brilliant conclusions come straight from Fox "News."
Old Man...I'm sure FOX is exactly where AG Barr gets his news from, which is what most likely prompted him to want to open up an investigation into where this all began. I'm sure he was home watching Hannity and said..."you know what, I should probably look into this wacky theory that this was a conspiracy against Trump". I see now. Thanks for opening my eyes.

There are prosecutors, and then there are prosecutors.
Federal prosecutors simply don't bring charges unless the likelihood of conviction is very high. Latest stats indicate a conviction rate well in excess of 90%. I'm not sure where you get the impression that prosecutors "see crimes." You make it sound like they're actively looking to bring specious cases. There simply isn't the capacity to bring charges willy-nilly in our current system. If a crime is recognized and federal prosecutors examine the available evidence and decide to charge, the chances of conviction are extremely good.
Keep in mind that this was a group of over 700 retired prosecutors who served at the federal level. Sitting judges would NEVER make statements regarding potential prosecutions. It's not what they do. The large body of defense lawyers out there might have very well signed onto an opinion letter contradicting the opinions of these federal prosecutors. We haven't seen anything. And we won't.

Right, Fed prosecutors don't bring charges unless the likely hood of conviction is very high. They also don't write reports about their investigation. You either recommend charges or you don't because you cannot support the charges with evidence. I suspect we are going to learn a lot more soon. Notice how they are all turning on each other?

PH while conviction rates are very high, I don't think you can use that as evidence that prosecutors don't initiate proceedings for reasons other than a high likelihood of conviction. There are politically-motivated proceedings brought all the time. More importantly, the prosecutors all said that they would initiate proceedings based on the report. Not that Trump would be convicted. Important distinction and one that seemingly is being ignored.
"Seeing crimes" was perhaps a poor choice of words on my part, but what I meant was that prosecutors generally are predisposed to think people are guilty once they've decided to prosecute. There is a certain lack of objectivity, for whatever reason, vis a vis those accused of crimes in my experience. Not a criticism either by the way. I think I'd feel the same way if i was on that side of the table for any period of time (one of the primary reasons I don't practice criminal law).
I also know judges wouldn't ever say something like that, which was my point. Judges would want to see all evidence presented and witnesses subject to cross-examination before rendering any decision. People seem to be making the leap that because a number of prosecutors would initiate proceedings, that the Orange Menace is guilty of obstruction. My point is simply that you can't make that leap (similar to Hilary, you couldn't make the leap that the reports of what she did equaled a crime).
No one has any idea as to whether Trump obstructed justice, and won't regardless of what anyone thinks, unless and until a trial happens.

Fair post with the exception of: (similar to Hilary, you couldn't make the leap that the reports of what she did equaled a crime). Destroying subpoenaed emails, taking hammers to her devices and wiping hard drives clean with bleach bit...right...no possible crimes there.
The more I think of her, the happier I am that I voted for Trump.
As a former prosecutor, my experience was that there were two different standards by which investigators and prosecutors operated. Criminal investigators, who are originally assigned to investigate a potential crime when a complaint is filed, operate under a "probable cause" standard. Their goal was to build up enough evidence to support a finding that that there was probable cause to believe that a crime had occurred. Once such a finding was made, their job was mostly complete and the file was transferred to the prosecuting office, where the prosecutor then made a decision whether to file criminal charges. In doing so, the prosecutor would use a stricter standard of evaluating the evidence to determine whether he could meet the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard necessary for a trial. Prosecutorial discretion played a role, and included factors such as the victim's willingness to cooperate and ability to withstand the rigors of a trial, the availability of witnesses, evidence and experts and their associated costs, and factors that might affect the likelihood of a plea bargain.
"Slam dunk" cases never saw the inside of a courtroom; guilty plea agreements would be entered and sentence restrictions agreed upon.

Brilliant post.
I been thinking quite a while about what motivates Trump. As a rational person with a long history participating in and observing politics, I like to think I know a thing or two about it and have been baffled as to why he says and does the things he does, most of which can only hurt him politically in the long run. And what I've decided motivates him is different from what most commentators say.
After watching him shoot himself in the foot more times than I can count, tell thousands of easily provable lies, and do nothing to expand his base so that he has a chance of re-election, my view is that he talks and acts as he does because he was not loved by his parents or perhaps anyone else as a child. But now he is loved by millions of people: his base.
So, he never really cared if he won the election, nor if he is re-elected. He doesn't care if he is mocked by most of the world. Nor does he care if he accomplishes anything politically, especially not anything with broad appeal or even appeal outside his base.
All that matters to him is his base. He keeps them loyal by pandering to their basest desires: racism, sexism, far-right policies, attacking basic democratic principles and American values, etc. He knows what they like and he gives it to them. And in return, they love him unconditionally, something he never got before he was President, not from his parents, not from his kids, not from his wives and lovers. That's why he has so many events with his disciples, says the nutty things he does on Twitter and elsewhere, and doesn't care what anyone outside his base thinks. He's got them in his pocket as long as he continues to feed their biases and their hatred for their perceived enemies.
I agree with much of your post, b-man... with the exception of trump's caring about getting re-elected. He desperately wants to be re-elected. It will be the only thing keeping him from facing the legal system for at least a little while longer.

Not overly witty...keep that bad sense of humor. You’ll need it.
It’s obvious that anyone who continues to claim “no obstruction” hasn’t actually read the Mueller Report. And their bleatings of “no collusion and no obstruction” would do a complete 180 if you swapped in President Obama and his key advisers as the protagonist and merry band of buffoons instead of Putin’s Bitch and his campaign team.
As for a judicial assessment of what the Report details, former judge Andrew Napolitano who works for a fake news network stated that Putin’s Bitch likely did obstruct justice. Oh wait, he works for Fox. Definitely NOT fake news, per Putin’s Bitch himself........

Personally I think hes a little bit smarter than many of us give him credit for but not nearly as smart as he or his followers believe. His whole plan relies on him being unpredictable, saying anything and creating uncertainty amongst his foes. Did he really mean that? Would he really do that?
Over time though they learn behind his chaos he has little to no actual plan and is just winging it to see what he can come up with. We've gotten virtually nowhere with our biggest issues in health care, infrastructure, his wall, immigration reform etc. Eventually the other side catches on to his bluffing which is evidenced by China walking back on what they negotiated recently. He's got an expiration date on most things he tries and his solution when things blow up has been bankruptcy in the past. Not an option for the US though

As I personally have spent multiple days with him I do feel i have so.e insight on this issue. Addressing this smart question entirely depends on your definition of smart . Intellectual capacity or curiosity? Clearly not. Apart from any politics - if anyone on this thread is familiar with Game of Thrones in Season 2 or 3 and probably book 2 Tywin Lannister refers to Tyrion as having low cunning. That is what Trump has - the same capacity possessed by con artists and flim flam men or women

He always blows up a deal when about to be signed, that is his way of extracting better terms. May work in real estate, but doubt that it will work in diplomacy. Not sure whether China really did back out, VS not putting in concrete terms as to what they were going to do.
No disagreement with either comment. I said a little bit smarter as in he's not a complete moron but certainly not brilliant by any stretch. I grew up around his antics and spent much time in Atlantic City, NYC, Brooklyn,South Florida etc and have despised him since I knew who he was almost 40 years ago. I know many people personally that have worked with, for and against him. Politics aside he's utterly reprehensible by any measure.
Agree with Jcocktosten....Depends on your definition of smart. The guy can barely speak English, contradicts himself constantly. Once he said something like this: "I don't think teachers should have guns in the classroom, but, frankly, sometimes they probably should." (Thus contradicting himself in the same sentence)
He is a mean spirited cunning bastard. Is that smart? I don't know, but it is mean spirited, and wholly unappealing to me.
