Striping special security clearance is another way Trump is going after people who could testify against him. He might go after the security clearance of Mueller's team.

How is that no obstruction of justice?

1. Trump does that, I suspect Mueller will respond with an INDICTMENT.

For blatant Obstruction of Justice so obvious that the Senate will have to act because House Republicans will not. Election or no election.

Let Trump and Rudy blow a gasket.

2. I don't understand why stripping security clearance would prevent anyone from testifying. NT

[avebury]

4. It would prevent the witnesses

from having access to the secures documents they would need to review to prepare for testifying.

Take away security clearance away from Mueller's team would prevent them from having access to any secured documents to build their case for Russian interference in the election. It could tie their hands.

3. Yes, it is a blatant attempt to limit access to information to those who may be opposed to him.

Theoretically he could do the same to Mueller without actually firing him. MSM and Dems should be all over the media tomorrow about this.

Trump's problem is there are decades of activities that have already been revealed to the investigation, as well as probable testimoney from those involved.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. Which will strengthen Mueller's hand for an indictment of Trump and Jr.

I suspect Mueller is already talking with Judges regarding indicting a sitting President.

Trump will attack both Sessions and Rosenstein for this. Trump is acting like a guilty person, not one who is innocent with NOTHING to hide.

This is both exciting and concerning for our country at the same time.

6. As ProudMNDemocrat said, Mueller would respond. Truthfully, I'm not

sure former government officials should have clearance or access to info. Darn sure don’t want trump to have clearance when he’s removed in 2020, or sooner.
