I don't understand why some pundits say thin case for obstruction of justice [View all]

[Honeycombe8]

When the person in power says, "Drop the case. He's a good guy. Let it go." That's as clear as it can get, I would think. Yet pundits are saying that's a thin case.

How much clearer could it be? Him saying, "You either drop the case or I'll send Guido to make you an offer you can't refuse"?

Then when Comey doesn't drop the Flynn case, Trump ultimately fires him.

This is EXACTLY what obstruction of justice would sound like. The fact that it didn't work isn't relevant.

I don't get it.
