This letter requests an investigation into obstruction. It is written by Noah Bookbinder, a man with a hefty legal resume, and the organization also has at least two former White House lawyers (one from each party) in its leadership. If they are saying that Trump could potentially be guilty of obstruction by using the power constitutionally granted to him if it was done with corrupt intent, I will take their word for it over yours.
All tea, no shade.
They are hoping to convince people of that. Has it ever happened before to a President? When Ford pardoned Nixon and stopped the investigation cold, was that obstruction? Clinton and Mark Rich? Bush and Weinberger? Any time a President has pardoned someone under investigation or indictment, how is it not the same thing?
