How long does it take to investigate obstruction anyway? As much as I think this collusion nonsense has been drawn out, at least it makes sense that it would take a while to investigate shadowy dealings that don't exist. But obstruction?
Investigator: So, did he obstruct your investigation?
Witness: I dunno, maybe?
Investigator: Is it enough to prosecute him?
Witness: I dunno, maybe?
Investigator: Can you prove he ever said any of this?
Witness: Uhhh... no?
Investigation: Great! So we can all move along with our lives then.
But here's how I think it actually goes down:
Investigator: So, did he obstruct your investigation?
Witness: That's what I want to have happened.
Investigator: Is it enough to prosecute him?
Witness: Probably not, but it's worth a shot!
Investigator: Okay. I'll spend months putting together a team of lawyers and legal experts that are loyal to the previous president and deplete every resource available to see if we can force a case here. In the meantime, the media will sensationalize the accusation to increase public support. See you on the witness stand!
