he fucking asked Russia to steal Hilarys emails on international TV
There is that!

Again, with that old joke? LOL Yeah that was a super-serious deliberate request. Right out in the open...on international TV.![]()
Nixon obstructed justice after he refused to release White House tape recordings that contained crucial information regarding Watergate.
He basically said he in part fired Comey to hinder the investigation into him.
Taking any action with the purpose of hindering an investigation by the FBI is OBSTRUCTION.
You really believe the President has the ability to interfere in a legal investigation? Scary
That was part of it as well. Nixon wanted stop a CRIMINAL investigation into himself and cover-ups among other things.
With Trump it was about a request to "ease up" on Flynn. The Flynn investigation continued anyway. Comey didn't think it was obstruction when he was asked that by Trump. And, Comey made it abundantly clear on numerous occasions to Trump that he was not under any Russiaphobnia investigation.
So, what are left with? Maybe Trump was still irked about how Comey mishandled the Hillary stuff. Maybe Trump just didn't trust him. Maybe Trump didn't like his haircut. Who knows? He fired him.

Just the other day he said he tried to keep the investigation down
The President may also be brought up on obstruction of justice charges if there is not a good legal reason for ending an investigation. No man, no President or Congress person is above the law.
That’s the point that they keep ignoring, the president can hire and fire at will, the president can start and stop investigations, but if he takes action, even within his authority, with the intent of obstructing justice, he has used his authority to commit a crime.
If you don’t believe me, just ask Richard Nixon.
Squawk! Swamp!

Squawk! MAGA!
Rasmussen?

You have a selective memory
