An item that needs to be mentioned when discussing obstruction of justice that the left continues to tout.--- When the impeachment committee voted to recommend impeachment of Nixon, one of the articles was obstruction of justice. But note--it was not due to the firing of Archibald Cox, which had happened some months prior. ---The firing did not constitute obstruction of justice since the president has the constitutional authority to do so. ---Here with Trump, the left is trying to claim obstruction of justice because he fired Comey. ---There is no obstruction. He had the right to fire Comey for any reason ( in this case incompetence). A president can only be impeached and removed from office. He/She cannot be criminally charged with anything. --furthermore if charged when not president, they will simply be pardoned. Presidents are above the law. Period.
