Lots of ways in which "I hope" can convey a threat. "Nice store you have here. I hope nobody burns it down."https://twitter.com/danepps/status/872828838409113600 …

Amazing—
@adamliptak found an example of obstruction of justice based on “I hope”!https://twitter.com/adamliptak/status/872835418194157568 …
Here's another: 5th Circuit affirms obstruction of justice conviction based in part on "I'm just hoping" comment (US v. Bedoy, 827 F.3d 495)pic.twitter.com/9SFPT5MTkC

Picture your boss beginning any sentence with "I hope..." you do x. Do you do it? I thought so.

The power differential matters: it's the basis of sexual harassment law, statutory rape law, also child sexual abuse. Intimidation IMPLIED.

Exactly, I was remarking how similar it was during the hearing. It's the imbalance of power that creates the coercion, not the language.
-
I'm sure that Mueller's lawyers have access to plenty of Fed court cases sighting that factor.

"citing"
-
Presumably there's extra points in court if your boss then fires you for not doing what he 'hoped' you'd do, as Trump did with Comey.
-
Sure helps to demonstrate the weight of that "hope."

The "just...don't" at the end changes it in this example

Judge Prado also mentions "I'm just hoping" sentence in factual background section (w/o "just don't"). Signal that it's not a throwaway linepic.twitter.com/Vl1tMqaUfx

You're taking rulings re co-conspirators to interpret how the law will play out in an obstruction of justice fed case. Not equivalent.
-
Omg, I didn't realize US v. Bedoy was a conspiracy case! And are you saying that it wasn't based on federal law? Do tell me more.
-
Don't dip into insanity, guys. A conspiracy charge and being a (colloquial) co-conspirator are not the same.
-
Agree. What trump said, if true, was inappropriate and improper, but if you think he's getting convicted on obstruction you're wrong.

Nice little Directorship you have there. It would be a shame if anything happened to it.

"I hope you can see your way" is only slightly removed from "Be a shame if anything was to happen". (New York mafia locker room talk).

Best part is that if we can find/know this, Mueller DEFINITELY does

There are lots of seemingly small things Comey revealed today that show a consciousness of guilt. Important, because this is hard to prove.
