Nope. I know you won't accept it, so I'll make it short and sweet: what counts as a high crime or misdemeanor is a political decision, not something bound by the existing federal criminal code.
At one end of the spectrum, we have this claim. At the other end of the spectrum, we have reality.
Bill Clinton got impeached for obstructing justice and committing perjury in a civil trial. Those are crimes.
So again, back to your charge of obstruction of justice. What criminal proceeding was being obstructed? What crime took place? What criminal act was being investigated. Please be specific.
Believe what you want - facts and reality have never stopped most people from doing so - but the fact is that if Trump gets impeached, obstruction of justice based on his extremely unseemly attempt to get Comey to leave Flynn alone will be a count.
What crime did Flynn commit, and where was the investigation of that crime? Because without it, there is no obstruction.
Also, if we are to follow this same line of logic [sic], then shouldn't Bush have been impeached for ordering a halt to the investigation of the trashing of the White House executive offices by departing Clinton staff?
Seriously, if you have some beef with Trump, then call him out on what he actually did instead of repeating baseless Dem talking points. I don't even like Trump. But damn sure will not throw him under the bus based upon a lie. He is the President. He can hire and fire whoever he damn well pleases. And the FBI director works for him at his discretion.
The last time a President was impeached for firing someone, it did not turn out well. The Supreme Court came in and ruled that it was absolutely within the Executive powers of the President to do what he did. So yes, the President can fire whoever he damn well pleases. The Supreme Court said so. And so does the Constitution of the United States. So to hell with the Dem talking points.
