Convoluted Fake News.
The chief executive cannot “obstruct justice.”
He has the power to choose what is prosecuted.
He has an obligation to do what is best for the Nation, not his prosecutor’s pride.

Uhm. Nixon? The first article of impeachment was obstruction of justice.
On June 17, 1972, and prior thereto, agents of the Committee for the Re-election of the President committed unlawful entry of the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in Washington, District of Columbia, for the purpose of securing political intelligence. Subsequent thereto, Richard M. Nixon, using the powers of his high office, engaged personally and through his close subordinates and agents, in a course of conduct or plan designed to delay, impede, and obstruct the investigation of such illegal entry; to cover up, conceal and protect those responsible; and to conceal the existence and scope of other unlawful covert activities.
