To say 45 is not linked to the FBI's Russian investigation, does NOT clear the obstruction issue.

First, I'm no lawyer, so I'll say that while 45's personal lawyer comes out in front to claim "no obstruction,"

that doesn't mean the FBI does not have evidence at this point that 45 actually did at least hinder, therefore, obstruct.

Mr. Comey said he took the dinner "hope" comments to be an order. In the context of 45's public comments to Russia, there were, indeed, other actions by the president, as facts, to show that the president did "obstruct."

One man's testimony is not a preponderance of evidence.

Furthermore:

Comey's memos are not classified leaks, AND he was a private citizen at that point, so no media should even start the BS false equivalencies.
