"fighting back"

[kentuck]

Sarah Sanders loves to tell us about how Trump, when attacked, always hits back harder. That may be all well and good when you are attacking your political opponents or the media, but it is a different story when you "fight back" against law enforcement or the FBI. It then becomes obstruction of justice.

When a cop turns his blue lights on to pull you over, your first impulse should not be to try and outrun him. When the FBI or a Special Counsel charges you with possible crimes against our nation, you do not have the right to "fight back" by obstructing an investigation or by attempting to destroy the character of those investigating the possible crime. There has to be a minimal respect for the law, especially if you set at the highest branches of our government.

"Fighting back" against your political opponents or those in the media is permissible. But "fighting back" against those that are looking at possible crimes or corruption is simply not permitted. Donald Trump cannot be exempted from the law. His obstruction must be seen for what it is.

1. So true.

"He's a counter-puncher" etc. So damn sick of it. Probably never got in a serious fight in his life. He acts like he's Rocky Balboa.

2. Every time cretin tweets "NO OBSTRUCTION, I just fight back!" my head explodes.

Those are the same thing, you orange imbecile.

That's like saying "No resisting arrest, I just punched the officer in the face and ran because he was trying to put handcuffs on me!"

3. Yep.

Good analogy.
