FMF: between calling me a spaz and an idiot, I will simply invite you to read what Comey said. Comey was not asked if POTUS asked him to stop the investigation, AND Comey never says that POTUS did not ask him to stop the investigation. Notice "they" in the sentence refers back to the original question where "they = AG+DOJ".
Please don't get your news from Jack Posobiecs twitter feed. That is a bit embarrassing and you can expect yourself to be continually misinformed.

freemindfade: It is sad that the left cannot exhibit the same level-headed restraint as the republicans did when it came to Benghazi and Hillary's emails.
Well, funny how that line by Comey was tweeted 15 minutes ago by Jack Posibic. It confirms how JWN has become a place to dump right-wing conspiracies and deza.

Anyway, notice what the question is: " So if the Attorney General or senior officials at the Department of Justice opposes a specific investigation, can they halt that FBI investigation?"
Notice how he does not ask about the president.

Analysis of the obstruction of justice issue:
Verdict: Perhaps, but there is no way to prosecute without a political will to do so because of immunity.

Imagine that Obama called the FBI director at the height of the Benghazi thing and told him that Hillary was a good person and he should consider "letting Hillary go". I bet everyone would be like: yah, the real story here is the leaks ;-).
So we got: FBI is investigating Trump. First Trump tries to tell the FBI director to let it go, then he fires him, then he says he fired him because he would not let it go.

man...
this week is off to a great start for the Trump-train. I wonder how democrats will be blamed for this as well?
Speaking of things going well, my memory may be failing, but I seem to recall reading something about improper disclosure of confidential information was "bad". Can that be true?
what i'm saying is the white race is the only one that has a verity of eye and hair colors , so what gives?
is it that this race was influenced genetically by a group of pre humans that didn't mix with other races?

Muslims have inferior genetics, blacks are lazy, immigrants are invading Europe and Sweden is ruined

yeah, and from the Orkneys to the Alps, the Caucasians created a fantastic Civilisation that is responsible for most of the advances we have seen (with Chinese, others working in the tandem, unknown).
Now, the others, having basked in the sun, tanning in the process, are streaming into the northern wastelands to take over.

As far as I know, it is believed to be due to chance and selective pressure amongst Caucasians towards fairer skin (which relate to pigmentation of hair and iris).
But it is important to keep in mind that non-black pigmentation is found outside Caucasians. For instance blonde aboriginals:
