Ted Lieu: Trump Firing Comey Is ‘Textbook Obstruction of Justice’

EXCERPT:

LIEU: "The issue when it comes to obstruction of justice is intent. And if the President fired James Comey because he deviated from agency policy and hurt Secretary Clinton, that would be fine. But as you stated, that’s not what the President said. He went on national TV a few days later and said he fired James Comey because of the Russia investigation. That is textbook obstruction of justice."
