Yes, a President CAN obstruct justice. He can, for example, direct his subordinates in any Executive Branch department, agency or bureau to withhold information subpoenaed by Congress or a court, and that would be obstruction. So would be directing the destruction of evidence.

This President, however, has NOT done so - not by a long shot. I wish that this distinction had been made, as it is more accurate.

You want an administration that HAS obstructed justice? Fine, just look at the last one - there’s evidence aplenty to at least open several separate and distinct investigations about its actions.

The Leftists are seeing their dream of a one-world government and a defanged, only moderately prosperous, US slip through their fingers, and they can’t stand it. They are grasping at straws by claiming “obstruction of justice,” which is how they deposed Nixon.

Yup. You make the point clearer than the president's lawyer.
