Rep. Justin Amash’s statement that President Trump has met the threshold for impeachment was obviously a setback for Trump, given that there is now a congressional Republican saying Trump’s actions went too far. On Monday, he expanded on his case against Barr and those echoing Barr’s defense of Trump. In fact, obstruction of justice does not require the prosecution of an underlying crime, and there is a logical reason for that. The most successful obstruction means there will not be a provable underlying crime, because you were able to obscure it. — Justin Amash (@justinamash) May 20, 2019And Amash lays waste to another argument against impeaching Trump.
