Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) on Thursday suggested that President Trump could be charged with obstruction of justice, after he cited ongoing investigations into Russian election meddling in his explanation of why he fired FBI Director James Comey.

"I think he can be looked at and perhaps even charged with obstruction of justice," Waters said on MSNBC's "All in with Chris Hayes". "I've said all along that he would lead us to impeachment and he's doing just that."

Trump told NBC's Lester Holt in an interview aired Thursday that he had made the decision to fire Comey on his own, directly contradicting the White House's claim that he had ousted the FBI director after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein recommended it.

“Regardless of recommendation, I was going to fire Comey,” Trump said.

They’re afraid of a Trump appointed FBI chief, and with good reason. Comey buried Hillary’s Crime and probably responsible for some of the leaks.

What an asshole. The Attorney General authorized Trump firing Comey. This dipshit needs to take a dirt nap for exhaling CO2, this causing “global warming.”

My Goodness! The LIB lunatics are really on parade today. They are very tiresome but still somewhat amusing in their idiocy and lunacy. Think of a world with no useless LIBs.

No lie - what a bunch of horse s***! I think the tables should be turned and have Sessions investigate all these libtard/commies. I’m sure there’s a ton of skeletons in their closets. Enough to send em to jail.

The only remedy the Constitution allows for against a sitting US president for commission of crimes is impeachment. So go ahead Dumbocrats and make Trump’s day...

I think zoe lofgren could be “looked at” and even charged with obstruction for the corrupt and blatant manner in which she excused waters from any culpability in her corruption investigation by the “ethics committee.” And, in turn, waters could and should be looked at again by an actual investigative body for her blatant corruption. If there were an “effectiveness commmittee,” waters would be looked at for the manner in which her district suffers today just as badly as when she assumed her House throne, while she lives a life of luxury in her white neighborhood many miles away.
