Opinion | Suzanne Garment: What Watergate can teach us about Mueller's report and obstruction of justice. - NBCNewsTHINK

the 2016 election. Trump cannot bring himself to admit that the Russians helped him win the 2016 election. For Trump, that may be enough of a motive to try to obstruct an investigation.

When we’re dealing with normal human psychology, this kind of public display of potentially corrupt motives would not happen. Normally, corrupt intent is secret and ashamed. It hides a deed — illegal, embarrassing, evil — that it doesn’t dare expose openly. In a person with normal psychology, Trump’s behavior would indicate that he had nothing to hide. But nothing about this presidency is normal.

This is a useful habit. It narrows the scope of our disagreements. It channels political passions in ways that make them less destructive.

Opinion | Sally Yates: William Barr should release the full Mueller report as soon as possibleSally Yates writes for The Post: William Barr should release the full Mueller report as soon as possible Who the fuck is Sally Yates? Barr announced again today that he'll release the legal version as soon as possible. Following the SC law as written by the democrat party. 4 replies opposing sally were hidden, all the pro sally comments were not.. but there’s no shadow banning going on... He just said he would for Pete’s sake. Why beat a dead horse, other than to trigger the screaming lefties. BTW, looking forward to Sally’s indictment. 😉
