James Comey lays out the case that President Trump obstructed justice (Compost Barf Alert)

Former FBI director James B. Comey on Thursday essentially laid out an obstruction of justice case against President Trump and suggested senior leaders in the bureau might have actually contemplated the matter before Trump removed him as director.

Comey did not explicitly draw any legal conclusions. Whether justice was obstructed, he said, was a question for recently appointed special counsel Robert Mueller.

There are simple answers to the “obstruction” charge.

Was the investigation regarding Lynch terminated? No. Has it since been terminated since Comey was fired? No. Both Congressional committees and the DOJ/FBI continue to look into the charges against Flynn. Ergo - no “obstruction” of justice has occurred.
