Stephen Dinan: Comey ‘Undercuts’ Any Arguments Dems Had for Obstruction By Trump

‘I would say that Comey probably undermined most of the arguments about legal jeopardy for the administration or for the president’

RUSH EXCERPT:
DINAN: "I don’t know about payback but they are following the playbook. Just as Democrats were happy with Hillary Clinton’s testimony in that hearing, I think Republicans were fairly pleased with the way the Comey testimony went in that there were no major smoking guns out there. I would say that Comey probably undermined most of the arguments about legal jeopardy for the administration or for the president. In terms of obstruction of justice, it’s not clear that you can even charge president with a legal case of obstruction of justice while he is in office, but Comey undercut whatever argument there was for that out there. We’ll see what Sessions does tomorrow, but for now I think Republicans emerge from that hearing happier than they were going in. Just as Democrats emerge from the Benghazi testimony happier than they went in."
