Alleged Draft Indictment Strategy Targeting President Trump for Obstruction by Mueller Team

Alleged Draft Indictment Strategy Targeting President Trump for Obstruction by Mueller Team The passage describes alleged internal documents and strategy discussions about a potential obstruction indictment against President Trump, naming several senior officials and outlining a timeline of alleged obstruction acts. While it provides a narrative and names key players (Mueller, Rosenstein, Giuliani, Flynn, Comey, McCabe), it offers no verifiable documents, dates of filings, or concrete transaction details. The lead is moderately useful for investigators seeking to locate the referenced “proposed charges” or to corroborate the existence of a draft indictment, but its speculative nature and lack of hard evidence limit its immediate investigative value. Key insights: Claims that Mueller’s team prepared a draft obstruction indictment as early as April 2017.; Alleged requirement that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein approve any indictment of the President.; Specific alleged obstruction acts: Trump’s requests to Comey, firing of Comey and McCabe, attempts to influence Flynn’s plea, and use of pardon power.
