The Question is How Many Times He Committed Obstruction of Justice

  I read of how and hear of how and am weathered by those who say, Two years of investigation and all this money spent and the Mueller Report came up with nothing.
  Nothing, they say. Nothing.
   Are their eyes closed?
   A video I just saw spells it out. "Former Republican Federal Prosecutors Speak Out Against President Trump's Obstruction of Justice."
   If you look at these incidents, many of them (if not all) were so public, the average person can clearly see they were obstruction of justice -- and that they did occur and were not fake news. You don't need a federal investigator to tell you these things were obstruction of justice; It is obvious.
  The video is short. You might want to view it. It points out how the Mueller Report discusses these incidents. We don't need Mueller's Report to tell us these were criminal acts. We can see as much.
   President Trump asked James Comey to take it easy on Michael Flynn. That is attempting to influence the even handidness of an investigation; It is obstruction of justice. Then, when that didn't happen, he fired James Comey. He, himself, acknowledged the firing was due to the Russian investigation. If you fire someone because they are investigating you, how is that not obstruction of justice? Then, President Trump tried to keep Mueller from being appointed special counsel, and tried to get him removed. The White House asked Bob McGhan to fire Mueller, then asked McGhan to place a false statement in the file saying he was not asked to fire Mueller. As the video points out, asking a witness to lie to create a false record is a classic case of obstruction of justice. The President also sought to influence the witness of Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, and Michael Cohen by dangling the possibility of pardons' before them. His words were public, and on record, and in the news. When asked if pardons were possible, he said he was taking nothing off the table. The witnesses in the case read the papers, so whether he communicated the possibility of pardons to them more personally, or not, they got the message from the news.
   The question is not whether he committed obstruction of justice, but how many times he committed it. If someone were to write a history of obstruction of justice, I doubt they would find a person in all of U.S. history who has committed more such acts than President Trump.
