Yes both sides of the aisle went ballistic on the DOJ for that
Whether Trumps recent threats to do the same thing within his administration will amount to basically the same thing - time will tell
so again I've learned something today thanks to you...

Yep, they tried to say that since he spoke with his source (who was the real target of the investigation)...then that made him a "co-conspirator".
It was pretty flimsy and got knocked down quick.
I think that since Pres. Obama was such a nice guy and talked in a reasonable tone of voice with a calm demeanor...that when he did things "bad", he kind of got a pass on it.
Plus most of the media are card carrying Democrats and really personally liked Pres. Obama (which isn't hard, he's very likeable and charming).
Then you have Pres. Trump.
Combative, aggressive New Yorker who doesn't talk calm and cool or like a nice guy.
So people kind of forget that Pres. Obama deported more illegal immigrants than ANY President in history...while attacking Trump for talking about deportation.
Trump is no politician and seems to be annoyed at the thought of having to be "fake" and talk a certain way to sooth the media.
Me? I like it. lol
I've always liked people who didn't bullshit around and try to make things sound "nice".
But I guess the media wants the President to follow their rules of decorum. Probably isn't gonna happen in the Trump presidency.
