The Worst Cover-Up of All Time

Pelosi, not the president, is 'obstructing' an impeachment inquiry in the literal sense of not letting one go forward.
President Donald Trump may be guilty of many things, but a cover-up in the Mueller probe isn’t one of them.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, attempting to appease forces in the Democratic party eager for impeachment, is accusing him of one, with all the familiar Watergate connotations.
The charge is strange, not to say incomprehensible, in light of the fact that Congress is in possession of a 448-page report produced by the Trump Department of Justice cataloguing the alleged obstruction that Congress now wants to investigate. The report is so exhaustive that many members of Congress haven’t had the time to read it.
If this is a White House cover-up, it’s too late. It’s a cover-up of an alleged crime that has already been extensively exposed, not by whistleblowers, not by Jerry Nadler, not by hostile journalists, but by a DOJ prosecutor who worked under the supervision of Trump’s handpicked deputy attorney general.
Pelosi has rehearsed the cliche, “As they say, the cover-up is frequently worse than the crime.†Or in this case, a substitute for the crime.
