How does anyone get past obstruction when Trump told us himself?

I really can't see how anyone can say that Trump is not guilty of at least one count of obstruction of justice when he told us himself on national TV he fired Comey to end the Russian investigation. I mean that his cronies and even Trump put other reasons out there and they fell through when no one believed them and then he says he was thinking of ending the Russian investigation when he fired Comey. That goes to intent, and that and his action of firing the head of an investigation which involved himself is all anyone needs to prove obstruction of justice. I just don't see how you can explain away those facts, and those are the facts.

The Russian investigation that has yielded damn little, was started on bad orders but even if the orders had been written right there is almost no chance that this investigation was the right way to handle the Russian problem.......that one?

Actually no, he didn't. Take his full comment in that interview IN CONTEXT and it says nothing like what so many Trump haters like you claim. Seriously, if he had actually admitted to firing Comey in order to end the investigation then Muellers job would be done by now.

Have you also seen the tape of Trump with the Russian ambassador, the one put out there by the Russians, after the Trump people would not even let us know the mmeeting took place. If you have you would know he, Trump doubles down on his firing of Comey when he tells the Russian that he had ended the investigation. I guess you people will just never believe as you are so tied to this man. A sad time for the USA for sure. And when someone says he was thinking of the Fake russian investigation as he fired Comey, i would say that is intent.

How would you have handled it, given trump and his people a pass. If you remember Trump actually asked the Russians to find the Clinton emails. Everyone thought it was a joke, but with what we now know, maybe not so funny. I find it interesting that Trump people will go to no ends to support their master, even if they know he has done wrong. I think of the evangelical Cristians tht keep giving him mulligans, they are a ood example.

....And so would Trump's. We'd have President Pence and a bunch of reasons to hate Pence trumpeted in the media. There's a common element there.
