His explination that Hillary had broken numerous laws but since there was no "malice" there was no need to prosecute even though the law doesn't require "malice".

The problem is that the president cannot direct or ask that an investigation be stopped by anyone, as demonstrated with Nixon firing the special investigator during the Watergate debacle.

Which is why FBI directors are appointed for 10 year terms.

With the facts clearly showing that:

1) President Trump tried to stop an investigation

And

2) Comey was fired for some pretty lame reasons, and actually fired while he was on the west coast and not directly, there is more than enough evidence to suggest that President Trump is either trying to cover something up, or he is so blasted stupid as to make himself look guilty of misconduct.

Granted, Comey making the statement about reopening the inquiry into the Hilary email server a couple of weeks before the election probably had some impact on the results, since it was not normal for that kind of bombshell to be dropped before the election, but Trump asking that an investigation be stopped is clearly showing intent to cover something up.

This is moving quickly. We got House Republicans that are calling for the memo. Jason Chaffetz is creating a subpoena.

Our own resident State Republican up and coming star, Cathy McMorris Rogers, is wanting Comey to testify.

Once the memo is produced and Comey testifies, that's pretty much the end.

Never mind the fact that the Democrats were for it, before they were against it

Most are on record demanding Comey's head

They got it, and it's a scandal?

3 words. "Obstruction of justice."

quote:

ORIGINAL: Musicmystery

President Trump asked the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to shut down the federal investigation into Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, in an Oval Office meeting in February, according to a memo Mr. Comey wrote shortly after the meeting.

“I hope you can let this go,” the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo.

The existence of Mr. Trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the Justice Department and F.B.I. investigation into links between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia.

Mr. Comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after Mr. Flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo. The memo was part of a paper trail Mr. Comey created documenting what he perceived as the president’s improper efforts to influence a continuing investigation. An F.B.I. agent’s contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations.
