Another question for Trump supporters, Rigged, etc:
Do you think Nixon was guilty of obstruction?
Was that also a witch hunt?

Yes, Nixon was guilty of obstruction.
No, it was not a witch hunt. There was a crime. The Watergate break-in.
There was no crime in Trump's case so yes it was a witch hunt.
So, any investigation that ends in a determination that there was no crime committed is a witch hunt?
You do know that REPUBLICAN Rosenstein said he had no choice but to appoint a Special Counsel, right?
Donald Trump in pure idiocy launched the Mueller investigation by firing Comey and then stating he did it because of the Russia investigation and telling Russians in the Oval Office that the pressure was now off. HIS ACTIONS forced Rosenstein's hand according to Rosenstein. Trump has no one but himself to blame for the Mueller Investigation.
What say you then about any other crimes that are discovered as a result of the Mueller investigation? Are they ok to charge? Clinton's investigation began with White Water and ended with a BJ in the oval office.
In case you are wondering, here is the authority given to REPUBLICAN Mueller by REPUBLICAN Rosenstein:
"The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI
Director James 8. Corney in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence on March 20, 2017, including:
(i) any links and/or coordination bet ween the Russian government and individuals
associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and
(ii) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation; and
(iii) any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a).
