Okay, now this would be a bombshell. Pressuring the FBI director may just be obstruction. But I have to say may because President Trump is the head of the very branch the FBI is in. I have to also say, he has the authority to grant pardons and amnesty. Wouldn't that be the same thing yet not be considered obstruction? I have to admit, this is way outside of my comfort zone, but I did a little research and it appears the President has broad powers here.
