There is no case for obstruction of justice. This point has been made by legal scholars from both sides of the aisle over and over again.
This story is nothing more than an example of even more leaks coming out of the FBI and special counsels office in an effort to
undermine the President. These leaks are inexcusable, outrageous, and illegal. The leaks are the only crime here.
Why is no one investigating Attorney General Lynchs Department of Justice for obstruction of justice in the Clinton email investigation? The reality is former Director Comey suggests the president tried to influence the FBI. But, he openly admitted that Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch successfully influenced him. There is compelling evidence to back up the claim that AG Lynch engaged in obstruction of justice, but none to show that President Trump did so.
President Trump stated in an interview with NBCs Lester Holt that he knew firing Comey might lengthen the Russia investigation, but he did it anyway because it was the right thing to do. It was no way an effort to interfere.
How much longer is this investigation/fishing expedition going to go on?

Yeah but she did it!
The President tried to do the right thing
This sounds more like GOP impression management in preparation for the post-Trump world
