Via Daily Caller:
The New York Times’ bombshell story alleging President Donald Trump asked former FBI Director James Comey to end the investigation of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn reintroduced a Watergate-era word to the political lexicon: obstruction of justice.Some Trump critics, including congressional Democrats, claimed Trump’s alleged statements constitute obstruction of justice — one of the articles of impeachment brought against President Richard Nixon.“I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go,” Trump allegedly said to Comey. “He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.”Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy said lawmakers were parsing the exact meaning of federal obstruction laws in the aftermath of the story.
Typical situation of democrats once again making assholes of themselves. Much bullshit about nothing. From what I understand, even if President Trump did make that statement, and Comey took it as an attempt to obstruct justice in the case he was considering, by law he has to report that attempt of obstruction. By not doing so, Comey himself has broken the law if it were obstruction, which it is not. Besides, the Director of the FBI serves at the pleasure of the President and can be removed from office for any reason, not the least of which being a useless, lying, incompetent moron who flubs major investigations in front of public testimony to Congress.
In my opinion, Comey is going to clear President Trump because he can't say he thought the comments were obstruction...or he f**ks himself, and the democrats and media will start crying again.
