Memo of Trump asking to end Flynn investigation

                             When FBI officials were looking at Comeys memos after his firing they discovered one memo that read “I hope you can let this go” talking about the Michael Flynn investigation. Democrats were quick to jump the gun and say that Trump is performing obstruction of justice. The republicans reacted a lot differently denying he said that but if he did say that Comeys actually obstructing justice for not telling higher officials. Later today White House Officials said "The President has the utmost respect for our law enforcement agencies, and all investigations. This is not a truthful or accurate portrayal of the conversation between the President and Mr. Comey."

Well is certainly isn’t good news for president Trump, but will probably be lost in week or so because of a new story that will arise. There clearly isn’t enough information to take any action yet, and this allegation just turned into a he said he said situation. Now I have a feeling trump did say this because why would Comey write this down in the text he wrote it in. Also it was like he went after the fact that he was fired he wrote it because he was upset. He sent the memo to some people but not action was taken. Now Republicans are saying that Comey should be tried if this is true for not reporting the issue. Democrats are screaming for this impeachment and there isn’t even close to enough information to do that, and this will just be thrown in a pile of stuff the president has aid but can’t be proven.

This report deals with Obstruction of justice which deals with court of law, and if the case were to go to court it would be held in the Supreme Court. If this case were taken up to the Supreme Court (which it won’t) it would be last impeachment of a president since Clinton. Also it would be the first obstruction of justice case since Nixon V U.S. when Nixon resigned. This is a very interesting time of politics and people are comparing it to Nixon and although there are a lot of similarities I don’t think it has gotten that bad yet.
