Jim Himes: If Trump Fires Sessions, That’s Obstruction of Justice

RUSH EXCERPT:

CUPP: "Right. Which is is a whole other you know can of worms. Are you concerned, trump has a history of these distractions. Are you concerned he might do it? He basically tweeted a threat this morning saying he might have to get involved."
HIMES: "Well I think he’s got to consider a bunch of things. First of all, firing the attorney general because you don’t like an investigation into you, that is obstruction of justice. Now you know people are going to say but he has the authority to do it. Of course he does. But if it is done as part of malfeasance, done for an unlawful or bad reason, it could be obstruction of justice. My guess is that some of the lawyers he has around him are are probably talking to him about it. Then there’s the political reaction. What doesn’t get covered enough is we watched him day in and day out for over a year now slamming this investigation, which has been hugely productive. Mr. President, there’s one thing that proves you are innocent as you claim to be and you do away with the one thing, you’ve got a real problem."
