[Magdalen] Obstruction of justice much?

[Roger Stokes]

If, as alleged, Trump asked Comey for a pledge of personal loyalty the 
request should not have been made and Comey had to refuse. When he was 
sworn in all those years ago I would guess that the oath of office 
included something like upholding the Constitution. That is incompatible 
with a pledge of personal loyalty to the current President since it is 
possible that loyalty to the Constitution could require investigation of 
the President and his staff.

Further it is alleged that what Trump told the Russians came from 
Israeli intelligence. In passing this information on without specific 
permission from the Israelis would breach the Holden Rule on sharing 
intelligence between countries and lead to a very interesting discussion 
with the Israeli Prime Minister. The Israeli intelligence serfvices have 
a very good reputation and he has risked the loss of this source of 
intelligence for the USA.
