No this part is very clear. Its also very clear that Trump asked him to do an expedited investigation of him just to get his named cleared, but was told by Comey that would be bad for him, and its incredibly hard to disprove a negative. Which is why the media can run with anything they want. You can sink the career of anyone if you want too. Use unnamed sources and let the accusations fly. Hard to defend against the negative.
Now if you want to discuss if it was wrong to ask for loyalty from Comey. 100%. Ethnically it sure is in my mind. If you want to discuss if its wrong to talk about any case concerning a person who was in your admin or staff, then I also agree with you.
And I am 100% confident that Bob Mueller will come back with absolutely no obstruction of justice for Trump. That is based on this statement from Comey. As well as the two intel director Kelly and Coats testifying today.
That does not mean I believe Flynn will walk or be found guilty of a criminal case. That seems plausible depending on the evidence that is uncovered by Mueller.
