Trump may just turn out to be the U.S. president with the lengthiest investigation into his life.

Special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating whether US President Donald Trump’s tweets constitute an attempt to obstruct justice with respect to the probe into his campaign’s ties with Russia, The New York Times reported Thursday.

Citing three unnamed people briefed on the subject, the Times said that Mueller, a former FBI director, was scrutinizing tweets and negative statements from the president about Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Mueller’s FBI successor James Comey.

Trump has repeatedly turned to Twitter to try to bend proceedings and public opinion in the direction he would like — calling for Mueller’s probe to end and demanding that the Justice Department investigate his political enemies.

In one of many similar tweets, Trump on April 20 appeared to try to undermine Mueller’s probe into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in its efforts to skew the 2016 US presidential election.

“James Comey illegally leaked classified documents to the press in order to generate a Special Council [sic]? Therefore, the Special Council was established based on an illegal act? Really, does everybody know what that means?” he wrote.

Now Mueller is reportedly investigating whether that pattern of behaviour is enough to constitute obstruction of justice.

Obstruction is difficult to prove, and US legal opinion is divided on whether the president can be indicted for such a crime even if it is a slam dunk case.

To avoid that legal thicket, Richard Nixon was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Watergate scandal, which nonetheless led to his impeachment by Congress and exit from office.

majestique:
I seriously hate topics like this!! so what if he spent 5000 on the date? so what if she ordered 7k takeaway for her friends? he shouldn't have presented himself to be who he's not if he wasn't ready to spend. Better still, he should have looked for a N500 girl to go out with!! Boys everywhere pretending to be men!! nonsense!! as if women don't spend on men too....

You’re missing the point.

No is saying that he shouldn’t have spent money on a date. But it is wrong for the woman to invite her friends to a romantic date in the first place.

To add salt to injury, she had the audacity to order N7k takeaway food for her friends. I mean, who does that?

olaboy1:
Nigerian men created these monsters. I don’t have any pity for you guys. Why on earth would you spend 5k on a first date.

What’s wrong with buying smoothies and go for a walk. I’m glad the girls are teaching you beta guys bitter lessons since you can’t think with anything else other than your d!ck.

They even emotionally manipulate you and you guys tolerate all this nonsense. Here in Europe no guy buys a girl a cup of coffee on a first date, if you are not ready to swipe your card then you are not ready for a relationship...key word RE-lationship.

So we want to buy the lowest Boeing commercial plane abi? And we are targeting 84 destinations at icky off? That plane is phasing out, hope you know.
How will 5 planes deliver 84 destinations? You do know that staff would be paid? The aviation industry would be paid too? $300 million dollars would not go anywhere in starting an airline carrier. Do you even think that anyone u see on nairaland is a riffs raff?

The airline won’t immediately start flying to 81 destinations; but will do so within its first five years. Half of those destinations will be regional/international (long-haul).
Moreover, the plan for airline shows that it will operate a fleet of 30 aircraft within its first five years of existence. And Nigeria Air will start its intercontinental flights in the middle of 2019.

Rice with stew. And beans with plantain

Nostradamus:
Nice one mr.pdp,can we also talk about nigerians doing big in the nba here?

Yes

Not to be left out, the D'Tigers are also involved in qualifiers for the 2019 FIBA World Cup, which will be hosted by China. It will feature 32 teams, for the first time ever.

D'Tigers breezed through the first qualifying round, beating Rwanda, Mali, and Uganda; and out-scoring their opponents 605-387. Yes, D'Tigers scored 605 points in 6 matches!

In the final round of qualification, they will square off against Senegal, Rwanda, Central African Republic, Cote D' Ivoire and Mali in group F.
Tunisia, Morocco, Cameroon, Angola, Egypt, and Chad are in group E. The top two teams in both groups, and the best third placed team will advance to the world cup.

Hello Nairalanders:

You’re welcome to the Nigeria Basketball thread, where we would talk about all things concerning the D’Tigress, D’Tigers and other Nigerian basketball teams.

happney65:

Why are you like this

The man is absolutely daft and stupid at the same time. If he isn't stupid, had he not heard of a six-letter word called CONDOM?

Smh

The government has identified 81 domestic, regional and international routes

AIG07:
when is this tournament kicking off?

Tournament starts August 5th. Nigeria’s first match is on August 6th.

As the World Cup has ended, the UEFA Nations League kicks off on September 6th. One of the tasty games on the opening day is... Germany v France

cococandy:
Or results in them buying chanel/Hermes bags that cost $8000- $15,000 a piece and owning a closet full of them.

They are not deceiving me

Ibime:
France look like they have entered one chance. This Croatian team look extremely well coached.

And a friend was telling me that France will ‘thrash’ Croatia
I was telling her that this Croatian side are difficult to beat because of how organized they are.

This is the 10th consecutive FIFA World Cup final to feature at least one Inter Milan player.
Wow!

The 2022 world cup is now confirmed to be staged between November and December in Qatar.

It's official.. The 2022 world cup will be held in November-December in Qatar
How will the Premier League and other major Euro leagues adjust to the new reality?
And why couldn't the Qataris deliver on their promise to build air-conditioned stadia for the tournament. Surely, they could also install industrial standing fans at the training sites for the players too.

tunwumi:
Just as we have with ministry of justice and local government commission? Abi

The political employees of the ministry of justice, as in other ministries, are paid via authorization from the governor (or president). As political appointees, their roles are to serve at the pleasure of the chief executive and carryout his/her policies.
I wouldn't class police commissioners or the IG as political appointees because they have a duty to enforce the law impartially. Hence I support any move to make the remunerations of judges, police commissioners, and the IG on a first-line charge basis.

tunwumi:
Commissioner of police to report Governor to state police service commission? When the Governor pays both and can starve them of funds.

Pure waste

They both could be paid on a first-line charge basis, which would eliminate the need for the Governor to directly approve their salaries.

cococandy:
Many of their bags are a fake.

At least I’m sure of iniedo’s red chanel and that her black Hermes kelly are fake.


ALL OF MERCY AIGBE’s bags are fake.
I’m not hating. Really. I’m just a big bag addict so I’m kind of familiar with many of these brands.

But these ladies are pretty.
You people should stop hating on successful Nigerian ladies biko.

If Mercy Aigbe’s bags are fake, that means she has a small god then

One or two of the ladies on the list have million Naira endorsement deals. As for the rest, I can’t figure out how their DVDs, which retail for around $1.50 on average, results in them flying business-class multiples times in a year

chic2pimp:
This Ref is a Homer...The Croatians have paid this guy off.

Exactly.

How was that not a foul on Alli

Ibime:
Ball done become hot potato for England players. No one in that midfield has a half-turn. I'd be tempted to chuck in RLC.

Dier needs to come in

England are the undisputed set-piece masters!
Nine of their goals have been via set pieces

The world cup "foreign coach curse" continues..

Belgium's loss means that the native coaches of France, England and Croatia will guarantee that only native coaches of national teams have won the world cup.

Yes, Siasia and Oliseh have had their issues, but I think the NFF should give both guys another chance at managing the Super Eagles after the Nations Cup.

So Kante and Giroud are guaranteed to be the 2nd and 3rd Chelsea players to play in a WC final, following in footsteps of Schurlle in 2014..

Not bad at all for a 'small' club.

President Trump has nominated Brett Kavanaugh as an Associated Justice of the Supreme Court.

Justice Kavanaugh could be make an appearance on the Hill as early as tomorrow (Wednesday).

simaustine:
I was once in a situation, were I had not receive my salary for 3 months, my wife just give birth, I have moved from pillar to post in search of money all to no avail, the only solution is my father in-law l had no choice, than to borrow from him because we are dying of hunger. You have to keep pride aside and do the needful. So that point of not seeking help from your in-inlaws does not hold water.

Didn’t your wife have money to pay for the child birth?
