Trump's Alleged Obstruction Of Justice Keeps Getting Worse In a compelling episode from The Young Turks, host Cenk Uygur delves into the gravity of President Trump's alleged obstruction of justice, discussing how recent developments may lead to more serious charges against him. As the situation unfolds, Uygur suggests that these allegations further complicate Trump's standing amidst ongoing investigations into his campaign's connections with Russia.

Key Insights from the Video​

Uygur points out a startling development reported by the Washington Post: Trump allegedly requested the nation’s top intelligence officials to deny the existence of any evidence concerning collusion between his campaign and Russia. This request, if true, is characterized by Uygur as a clear case of obstruction of justice, posing significant legal ramifications.

• Intelligence Officials’ Response: Both Daniel Coats, Director of National Intelligence, and Admiral Michael Rogers, Director of the NSA, reportedly rebuffed Trump’s requests to publicly dismiss any evidence of collusion. Uygur praises their integrity, highlighting that despite their conservative backgrounds, they recognized the impropriety of Trump's demands.
• Comparisons to Past Administrations: A notable aspect of Uygur's analysis involves a thought experiment: what if similar actions had been taken by President Obama or Hillary Clinton? He argues that there would have been a swift response from Republican lawmakers and the media, calling for investigations and potential impeachment proceedings.
• Growing Consensus: As more details emerge, Uygur foresees a shift in Republican sentiment, with figures like Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush beginning to publicly criticize Trump. This signals a growing concern within the party about the potential fallout from Trump's actions. This video not only sheds light on potential misconduct by Trump but also critiques the broader repercussions of his leadership style and its implications for American democracy.
