Intention which is so critical to the obstruction statute, just look at, look at normal oversight versus what hes doing. this is an oversight. i spent 25 years in the fbi. i served as assistant director. during my time as assistant director i lost count of the number of times i went to the hill, i briefed house and senate intelligence committees, judiciary, homeland security committees, everybody in the hoover building on pennsylvania avenue understands that congress represents the people and th...
