Scarborough on Trump: 1st Article of Impeachment Against Nixon Was Obstruction of Justice

‘It’s hard to not go back and see all the other examples of how he inappropriately tried to kill the investigation’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "It’s hard not going back to Richard Nixon and what Richard Nixon did. I’m not saying that Donald Trump is going to be impeached, but his first article of impeachment had to do with obstruction of justice, and part of that was trying to get the CIA to stop an FBI investigation. Mark Halperin, this just keeps building up. You have Donald Trump admitting to Lester Holt on national television that he fired Comey thinking about stopping the Trump investigation. You had the Russian investigation, Sarah Huckabee Sanders then said the same thing, 'We wanted this investigation to end. We knew if we fired him, it would come to a speedier conclusion.' You had Trump admitting to the Russians in the Oval Office that he fired Comey the nutjob to get him off his back and now he’s no longer in the investigation. And here you have him reaching out to the top two — two of the top Intel officials saying, 'Help me kill this investigation.' How do you — how do you even put a historical context on this, Mark? This is beyond extraordinary, beyond inappropriate.”
