RUSH EXCERPT:
BLITZER: "Breaths bring in — what do you think this sounds like?" TOOBIN: "It seems like a close definition of obstruction of justice. To was talking about James Comey who was investigating him and his campaign in connection with the whole Russian campaign matter and he says I fired him and the pressure is off. I mean, it — it doesn't seem much more complicated than that. You know, the insults, the nut job, craze, whatever, I mean, you know. People can judge whether that kind of talk is appropriate or not, but I don’t think it’s legally all that significant. What’s significant is that he’s saying that there was pressure and he got rid of it. That’s — that seems pretty straightforward to me."
