when it comes to the obstruction question? >> well, there seems to be so much obstruction that has gone on in plain sight and i think what some people sort of forget is that obstruction actually has an impact on whether you committed the underlying crime of in this case conspiracy. because you know, you don't have to cover up something if you didn't do anything wrong in the first instance. so when the president is asking comey to layoff flynn and then firing comey, when the president is participating in drafting a false narrative about what happened at that trump tower meeting, why is he taking all of those obstructive acts? because he's covering up wrongdoing. there is a powerful synergy between obstruction, which is a fancy way of saying covering up your crimes, and the crimes themselves. so the fact that there is obstruction in plain sight breathes life into the argument
