I thought also, IF IT REALLY HAPPENED, which it didn’t, that Trump telling someone to fire then lie about it, i guess even in front of a committee, that it would be considered obstruction.
Desh says it’s not.
I’m not a lawyer and since his income probably 2 more digits than mine, i’ll go with his answer
actual obstruction of justice would have been if trump ordered a shutdown of the case against him- firing individuals is not obstructing, as others can and did fill their jobs- and the investigation went on unimpeded- Trump was fully within his rights to fire anyone he liked- he was not allowed to shut down the investigation however, which he never even attempted to do- The left are trying to inflate a perfectly legal act, firing comey- with obstruction- but it’s a lie- there was no obstruction- they will not let this issue rest- and will hammer trump for the next 24 years of his reign as president
