Nothing has came out on Flynn of any real signifance. Why does he have to let the FBI proceed without intervening if he thinks it's a waste of time?

When they refer to people acting like Nixon.

This is what they mean.

You'd live so comfortably under an authoritarian state.

Of POTUS impropriety?

So he's not a dictator?

Bill Clinton had special prosecution for getting head of all things.

Let alone espionage.

He didn't erase any tapes. He's not hiding any report. Flynn is not trump.

Exactly. If you think the president is involved you get a special prosecutor outside his control. The FBI is clearly within his control.

But power is not absolute.

What would you have said if Obama just shut down the email investigation? What did happen was troubling enough, but now you seem to think that can just outright control every aspect of criminal investigations?

Well by your logic, it doesn't matter if a president breaks any law if he has the power just shut down any investigation into it.

Congress is his check. Not the FBI.

That is a moot point.

FBI Deputy Director McCabe already testified that the administration did NOTHING to impede, slow or stop the investigation.
