If this turns out to have some merit to it, it could very well be obstruction of justice. Those of you at home may remember that obstruction of justice was what Clinton was impeached for. We shall see if it plays out. I called Goodlatte's office yesterday and asked the question of "if there is merit to the claim that the president asked Comey to drop the Flynn investigation, will the representative consider impeachment proceedings?" I got a very non-answer, which is what I expected, but still. If there is obstruction of justice then there should be impeachment hearings.

I look forward to hearing more from House Oversight now that Chaffetz has requested the documents.

I have a hard time believing someone writing a note to himself saying that Trump said what he said can be legitimate evidence of obstruction, and if Comey thought it was obstruction, why didn't he report it to the Justice Dept at the time?
