Jason Chaffetz said that? I usually like Jason, but every now & then he says some stuff that just leaves me scratching my head like, WTF is he talking about?

Chaffetz is a Republican.
Who is resigning his seat to run for governor. He's basically planting soundbites to run as a centrist.

Trump was smart to blame the botched Hillary investigation for Comey's firing. Dems have no leg to stand on arguing that

Haven't read the quote you're referring to, but Trump can't fire someone in order to obstruct an investigation. He can fire them for their tie choice, however.

The FBI director serves at the pleasure of the president. Trump can shirt can him if he likes.... he could have even pardoned Flynn if he wanted to.

You choice of words "in order to obstruct an investigation" is peculiar. You're trying to tie this into Nixon when this just doesn't fit. There was no investigation into Trump.

What I meant is that Trump cannot obstruct an investigation (any investigation). Full stop. If his intent was to do so by firing Comey, that is illegal. If his intent was to fire Comey for wearing the wrong tie, then yes that would be legal.

Nope, he can fire the FBI director for whatever reason he wants. Think about it, you're saying a FBI director just needs a perpetual investigation and they never leave office. That's obviously ridiculous.

That's not at all what I'm saying. If the intent is to obstruct, it's obstruction. If the intent is a legal reason, it's legal, regardless what investigation(s) are on-going.

Firing a director is in no way obstruction, that's crazy talk.

You don't think it's possible to intend to obstruct justice by firing the person leading an investigation?

He's not leading it, he's a political appointee leading an associate director who's leading a series of other managers who is leading the investigation. He's leading an agency and the president can fire him for whatever reason he wants. Comey even explained it, the investigation goes on regardless of the director. You're confusing something politically unseemly with criminal activity.

Trump could have ordered him to stop the investigation, and fired him if he refused. You understand these are actions taken in DA offices around the country every day, right?

Of course, this is moot, because he rightly fired him for bungling the Clinton investigation.

here is a clue for you, the FBI employs thousands and thousands of employees, Comey is an administrator but is not actually doing any investigating every. And more importantly Comey testified in his hearing that getting rid of him had not stopped a single thing the FBI is doing and would cause zero harm to any investigation..... of course what investigation, the ongoing one from the intelligence side? there is no criminal investigation active against anyone
