i read an article somewhere (not sure if it was originally posted here) that indicated that a lot of times someone in Trump's position ultimately gets taken down not for what he was originally investigated for; but for mistakes he makes after the investigation starts while he is still under investigation ... the story is not over and he can still do things that break the law ... and this sounds like he is admitting to attempting to affect someone's testimony to congress ... and is that not an attempt to obstruct justice right there?
i forget, but did comey testify pursuant to a subpoena or did he do so voluntarily?

He already said he fired comey because of Russia. Im not sure why he is still president. I clearly don't understand these things.

Just to echo the sentiments that it's :shake: that the president is complaining about the other party being obstructionalists.

You'd be surprised how many stupid asses believe that is actually the case. He's only echoing the beliefs of his followers. Fox News never talks about how the Republicans constantly obstruct, so to them this is new-fangled territory. And they don't know the meaning of the word hypocrisy because they'd have to go to the liberry and do sum book-lernin'.

Like him or loathe him, Bush really got tarred unfairly with that. A shame that it takes President Trump to make that evident.
