Andrew McCarthy explains why the idea Trump obstructed justice is now completely dead

Let's step back and recognize a few things: First, there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians to influence or rig the 2016 election. Second, official Washington knows this. It always has. What we're enduring now is a willful investigation of nothing. Why do that? Here's why: Third, even an investigation that turns up no underlying crime can, at least theoretically, produce "process crimes." This is how the Beltway crowd hopes to take down Donald Trump. Goad him into abusing his power to try to somehow squelch the investigation, and even though the investigation was ultimately about nothing, and you could still nail the president for "obstruction" or a "coverup" or something of that nature.
