This couldn’t possible contribute to the obstruction charges.
What’s striking about this, and a bunch of other stories, is that people about whom one would normally have serious reservations - Comey, Sessions, Rosenstein, McCabe, John McCain, etc., etc. - come off looking admirable, only because they shine when compared to Trump. That’s just how bad Trump is, a nightmare President.
For example, if Clinton had won the election, her first official act should have been to shitcan Comey. He deserved it. But now he looks pretty good. Very weird.
