What are some examples of "Obstruction of Justice"?
In the movies, they make a lot of noise about charging you with Obstruction for refusing to cooperate. Movies are convenient. Nothing in the law requires the cooperation of the average citizen. There is also that pesky little thing called the 5th Amendment, whether or not it applies to your particular situation. You can still claim it without having to explain why. If you warn others about a speed trap, the cops will try to tell you that they can charge you with Obstruction of Justice for interfering with their ability to enforce the law. Again, as long as you aren't facilitating the crime (which would be Conspiracy, not Obstruction), you've broken no law. (That pesky little thing called the 1st Amendment.) Obstruction of Justice is the willful lying or misleading statements to investigators in an effort to derail or distract them from their investigation. Martha Stewart did not go to prison for insider trading. Nor did she go to prison for perjury since she was not on trial nor under oath. She did go to prison for lying during the investigation and that was Obstruction of Justice. She'd have done better to keep her mouth shut and hope for the best. Instead, she railroaded herself into the hoosegow.
What is obstruction of justice and is it a felony?
obstruction is refusing to gives answers about a crime that you have knowlege of who committed it and how they committed it. yes, it is a felony and whether you will be charge of it depends on the severity if the crime. after reading your artcle more closly i feel that the police are giving a bulls### charge. disturbing the peace would be more appropiate. get a lawyer it can be beaten
Obstruction of Justice?
I was recently charged with consumption of alcohol by a minor in a public place in British Columbia, during the process of the police asking for my information I gave them a false name and address, which they eventually found out was false and also gave me a charge of presentation of false identification. I was cuffed during the process and the police threatened that if i tried to dispute the ticket to ask for a reduction of price of the ticket that they would charge me with obstruction of justice. In British Columbia it takes around a year to get a court date. Is it possible for them to charge me with obstruction of justice by lying about my identification a year after the offence occurred?
Since Mueller is building an Obstruction of Justice case against Trump with Comey's help, will trump resign after?
It is by no means clear that Mueller is building such a case. We know enough to say that the Russia election meddling investigation and possible collusion by the campaign has produced some evidence of possible collusion and obstruction. And indeed that might be exactly where this is going. But we don't know that there is sufficient prosecutable evidence of either yet. The investigation may have that evidence, but if so they have not revealed it. Just like the FBI found Hillary's email practices dangerous and sloppy, they concluded there was insufficient evidence of a crime. This investigation might come to a similar conclusion - that the campaign was amateur hour duped by Russian influence and covered up over how it looks rather than hiding crimes. But that is the best Trump can hope for at this point. Because we know the campaign talked to the Russians, used Russia developed information against Clinton and openly tried to kill (i.e. obstruct) the investigation into that. But it might not rise to the level of a treasonous, criminal conspiracy.
It's pretty clear that Trump is going down for obstruction of justice & possibly perjury, but do you think he'll take Pence down with him?
When pigs fly. OH...WAIT...YOU live in a fantasy world were pigs really do fly.... Sorry to burst your bubble snowflake, but in the real world there was no Russian collusion (at least by Trump or his campaign) and there was no obstruction of justice (at least by Trump or his campaign). Seems all the EVIDENCE suggests that both Obama AND Hillary WERE engaged in Russian collusion AND obstruction of justice.
What is obstruction of a police officer?
Obstruction a police officer is any deliberate action that prevents a police officer from performing his or her duties. If you are ever pulled over, you do not have to talk to the officer at all. However, saying nothing with cause you a lot of problems as they will try to figure our why your not talking. For example. me and my friends go out drinking one night and get hammered. We have a friend that is assigned to be the designated decoy so the rest of us can drive away. So he pulls out of the bar parking lot fast as hell just to get any police attention and when stopped the police find him completely somber. His actions stopped them from catching legitimate drunk drivers.
Firstly, the president cannot be charged with a crime while in office (Not that has ever been established anyway).Secondly, a president can be impeached and thrown out of office, but that is at the discretion of Congress and is a political act, not a judicial one. It has nothing directly to do with the law.Thirdly, Article 1 Section 6 of the US Constitution says that “for any Speech or Debate in either House” that members of Congress “shall not be questioned in any other Place.” That is to say, Congressmen can advocate or argue whatever they want in Congress with full impunity against their detractors.So if you're asking whether or not the Republican majority in Congress can be charged with a crime for voting and speaking in a way supportive of the Republican president, the answer is no, it would be radically unconstitutional to move against them.In fact, trying to move against both the president and the Congressional majority on blatantly baseless and unconstitutional charges would widely be viewed as an attempt at an anti-democratic coup by his political opponents, and would more likely result in mass dismissals of personnel in organizations connected with such illegal attempts, as well as the impeachment of judges who attempted to cooperate with them, and maybe even the arrests of those responsible.
There must be some rule in Washington that if you are a member of congress, especially a member of the House, you have to be a notorious camera hog and blowhard and want to investigate things to death.The people in congress that run these various investigations are always insufferable. During the Obama administration it was Darell Issa. During the last two years of the Bush administration, it was Henry Waxman and Adam Schiff (yes, the same). Cable news makes you a kind of celebrity if you have one of these positions, and those men all milked it. Today, it is Schiff and the uber-annoying Devin Nunes. That guy has a face that just begs to be punched.No this is not obstruction of justice. It’s part of the idiotic 4-square game that congress plays that makes everyone hate them.Neither memo says anything interesting. (Obviously the Schiff memo hasn’t been released, but I’ll bet my hat it says nothing of consequence).I read the Nunes memo, and it just repeats what Trump’s apologists have been saying for almost a year — that the Trump-Russia investigation is bankrupt because the Clinton campaign hired Fusion GPS to search for negative information on Trump, and because Christopher Steele, as well as a number of relatively high level FBI agents, didn’t like Trump.Incidentally, Fusion GPS was first hired by the Washington Free Beacon - a conservative newspaper.They say, “Steele is biased and not credible. Some FBI agents were biased. Comey was biased. The FISA warrant was given based on that biased and therefore unreliable information.”THAT IS IT.This whole brouhaha about memos boils down to a parallel of Trump’s argument about Judge Curiel. Remember when he said that a Mexican-American judge cannot possibly make an inpartial decision about Trump because he obviously doesn’t like Trump? This is the same thing. To be fair, it does seem that Steele was and certain FBI agents in question were clearly not Trump supporters and didn’t want him to become president. Did that motivate their efforts? Sure.But the argument is, it’s impossible that they could come to fair conclusions and any information they compiled is biased, fabricated, or at the very least tainted and not admissible.This is like a murderer arguing that he can’t be put on trial because the detective was overzealous gathering evidence, making the prosecution itself the issue, not the crime.In other words, only Trump supporters can come to a fair conclusion about Trump.
Am I rightfully charged for obstruction of justice and resisting arrest?
I will not talk much cuz the laws in california are different than the laws in Massachusetts, but ya good job. High 5 buddy lol. you got booked. That's gonna come back to hunt you in the future. From experience female officers are more vicious than male officers. If you can't afford an attorney, they sould provide you with one i believe. I had a little confrontation with 2 police officers in NH, something i won't really talk about, and one of them happened to be a female and she hit my friend for no reason and he shoved her back so her and the other officer handcuffed my friend and tied his legs up and forced him into the car while i was there watching from the other side, thinking should i hit 'em, run away, or stay there and watch, but they let us go the next morning cuz they broke his wrist from the handcuffs being so tight. Just remember that cops have to be vicious with all the crime out there, and they are the law. the system is designed to work in their favor, so being nice to them and joking around in a way that won't get yourself in trouble is the best way to deal with them. I had a cop pull me and before he said anything i was like i'm sorry officer i'm sorry... i know i was going over the speed limit... please give me my ticket, i've broken the law and justice must be made... And the guy was looking at me like i'm crazy and asked me for my license and registration and let me go. If you know, you screwed up, don't lie to them. Officers have to spend 45 minutes writing a stupid report and getting a bunch of signatures for everybody they arrest, and i bet it gets boring after a while. Good luck in court, they'll probably hit you with a fine and give you community service or give you probation, but you ain't going to jail.
The most conservative presidency since Calvin Coolidge. And the least corrupt since Truman.By the numbers. Not one penny spent to aid protect or recompense the worst financial fraud in human history. While turning around the worst loss of jobs and wealth in history, as far as we know, in 6 months. leading to the longest steadiest growth of the economy that I personally am aware of, with the lowest inflation ever while avoiding deflation. over a decade. literally a miracle.Affordable Care Act not only carved corporate control of health care into concrete it put into law the principle of health care as a public responsibility that had been the mainstream principle of health care legal theory and public policy since Al Smith took over Tamany Hall and made it socialist - a policy incidentally made into law in the first USA congress after the union ratified the constitution. It required all seaman and all those employed by shipping industry to have health insurance regulated by the USA executive branch.By every conceivable measure, the most emphatically center right administration in USA history, the least controversial by design and concerted effort and the least corrupt in USa history. with the fewest indictments, convictions, and failed litigation.all the while maintaining a democratic, liberal posture and facadethe façade in fact prevented him from accomplishing any of his major goals as a president, the complete dismantling of the New Deal, and the complete privatization of government services - fortunately for the USa.Unlawful his administration was not. not by any conceivable measurereckless he was not, even though his country expected a more reckless, more experimental, more polyvalent government, he maintained a strictly controlled narrowly New Fed steadily centrist right heading despite the weather through which he sailed
