Trump directly asked Mr. Comey to end the investigation on Flynn, according to an associate of Mr. Comeys.
That’s a pretty fair definition of obstruction. One would actually be hard pressed to state a better one.
Comey declined of course, and one can only imagine what must have been going through his mind; “Does Trump have any idea what he’s doing?”
Of course that’s the question every reasonably intelligent person has been asking for a long time. Trump has displayed none of the behaviors, principles, and attitudes that Americans expect in a President and many, if not all, of the actions of someone blindly attempting to claw their way out of a very deep hole, a hole they dug.
The House Oversight Committee has sent a letter to the F.B.I. asking for all information on any conversations between Mr. Comey and Trump. We can only hope such records exit.
As unreal and disgusting as Trump’s actions are, they aren’t really that surprising. Trump has made his ignorance, arrogance, untruthful nature, and stupidity apparent long before any vote was cast. But the real kicker is the silence from the Republican party.
One would hope that some Republican would stand up and say “enough”.
But for the most part, there’s been silence.
