While we were watching that news conference I asked my husband if this is obstruction of justice. He said "you don't get out the elephant gun to shoot the mouse" - which I THINK was really saying "too early to bring that up yet".

But it still seems an AWFUL LOT like obstruction of justice.

Just ANOTHER reason why you do NOT want some private industry CEO brought in as president. The culture of the private industry CEO is that he is KING. And what he says GOES. And the rules don't apply to him. They're for all the little people farther down the corporate food chain. You just dictate what you want, issue the edict, and it's DONE. And then you go play golf while all the little people farther down the food chain implement your divine dictates and figure out how to make them work. NO accountability. NO answers to your questions - don't even bother asking, he won't acknowledge or answer your question - because he doesn't have to. He owns the joint. Or - he's the king, lord-and-master, supreme leader, holder of the last word, and ultimate ruler of all he surveys. You bring that mentality into the White House and you have trump & comp.
