How is it possible that firing one subordinate in the Executive Branch turns into obstruction of Justice? It could only be so if Comey was so indispensable as to be the end to end all regarding justice in the FBI. Only egotistical, bellicose, delusional Comey would think his firing was obstruction.
In reality, Comey completely lied about the substance of his private meeting with Trump
Comey specifically testified that Trump asked Comey about Andrew McCabes integrity and impartiality . Comey twists the conversation to make it out like Trump is asking if McCabe will be a rubber stamp yes man who will cooperate in a cover up.
Comey testified in sworn testimony he told Trump that Andrew McCabe was a career professional FBI agent who was impartial, highly ethical and would never let personal feelings or political partisanship affect his job
Just like all the the rest of the non biased, non partisan professional
FBI agents
Comey also testified under oath that McCabe did not have any feuds or axes to grind with Trump or members of his administration
We now know that Comey was lying through his teeth to the President and that McCabe was a corrupt member of Hillary's FBI fixer team who was actively working to undermine Trump and set him up for impeachment
We also know McCabe wanted revenge on Gen Flynn for his support of a female agent who was being harassed and discriminated on by McCabe and McCabe was trying to cover up the investigation
Trump had every reason to fire Comey based on Comey’s lies about the Presidents questions on MCCabe
