Bob Gilchrist: Trump has obstructed justice and must be impeached

Rep. Rob Bishop’s statement about Robert Mueller’s testimony -- that “the book was better than the movie” -- is true. The book/report is a well-documented, detailed, factual account of the actions of President Trump.

Two areas of the report regarding potential obstruction of justice are particularly worth reading.

Volume II, section J, talks about Paul Manafort and Donald Trump’s actions during Manafort’s criminal jury trial. He publicly stated that Manafort should not flip. He and his personal counsel, who by law speaks for him, repeatedly discussed the possibility of a pardon for Manafort.

During the trial, when the jury was deliberating as to whether Manafort was guilty, Trump made repeated public statements that Manafort was a good man and that is was totally wrong that he was facing criminal charges.
