$30 million is probably not even enough to fix the Ortega River Bridge.
To bring it up in a discussion of the Federal Government's balance sheet - that's worse penny wise and pound foolish.  That's penny wise and ton foolish!

Either would fall under "high crimes and misdemeanors" if proven.

The Obstruction of Justice implies a fear of being prosecuted, however, the fear could arise from any illegal act that a person committed, not necessarily collusion with Russia.  For instance, if Mueller is investigating person C for colluding, and person C gets nervous and starts giving false statements or destroying evidence, those are crimes regardless of if person C colluded.  Person C may be destroying evidence or giving false statements for other reasons.  Perhaps he's into illegal gambling or money laundering.

If this is parody, bravo.

If you truly believe this nonsense, then you truly are the dimmest bulb in the string.

One finger pointing at me, three pointing back at you.  Read up on what "obstruction of justice" really is.  It's more subjective than other crimes, but it is very much a real crime that has put real people into real prison.  Please don't take my word for it.  Read anything written before 2016 on the topic and you'll see.
