Doing exactly the same thing that took Nixon down.
it's not the same thing, though
he didn't tell anyone to lie to end an investigation - he asked if the director could see his way to letting Flynn off, which isn't the same thing. And wanting to end the Russia investigation isn't the same thing as investigating Flynn personally, although the two are intertwined
I'm actually really unsure this would lead to an impeachable offense, but it's also clearly something more than just inappropriate. imho
It doesn't matter If he told then to lie or not - he asked Comey to halt the investigations. That is obstruction if justice - the same thing that brought Nixon down, ultimately. Nobody said they are the exact same situation, but it will be the exact same charge.
Nixon got hit with an obstruction of justice charge because the Supreme Court ordered him to release the tapes that were incriminating himself but refused to do so.
Trump just asked Comey to drop the Flynn investigation because "“He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.”. That's assuming the memo is legit. That is not even close for people to be saying obstruction of justice or calling for his impeachment.
We can't conveniently leave out the fact that he also asked Comey to halt his own investigation.
Are we also forgetting that he fired Comey because of this?
Asking someone to halt an investigation, then firing them because they will not, is 100% obstruction of justice. ---
