Surprised the U.S. Attorney General did not include this Mueller quote in his 4-page summary letter:
"President Trump reacted negatively to the Special Counsel's appointment. He told advisors that it was the end of his presidency, sought to have Attorney General Jefferson (Jeff) Sessions unrecuse from the Russia investigation and to have the Special Counsel removed, and engaged in efforts to curtail the Special Counsel's investigation and prevent the disclosure of evidence to it, including through public and private contacts with potential witnesses. Those and related actions are described and analyzed in Volume II of the report." p.8 of Mueller Report.
This Report is single-spaced (so far). Will take a long time to go through and absorb. Lot of information. I don't practice criminal law; it will be interesting to read the referenced-analysis in Volume II to see why that above factoid does not lean to obstruction of justice.
Vernon must be loving the discussion of this investigation vis a vis number of participants on his message board.
