And then, there's this side of the whole matter: Trump may have said something to that effect or such, but out of honesty and concern, not authority or threat.

Fox's Rosen makes a point haven't heard yet: Good defense lawyer would say there's a big difference between "I hope" & "I order you" #Flynn

(Maybe a bit presumptuous on what happened, but point made.)

News Flash, @realDonaldTrump hoping @JamesComeyFBI cuts @MikeFlynn some slack because he is a 'good man' is not close to #Obstruction

#Impeachment talk is lazy, uninformed & reckless-Still no underlying crime. #ComeyMemo does not spell out #Obstruction @POTUS has rights too

— Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) May 17, 2017

And one thought sums it up:

@TheNatlInterest @hughhewitt @ToryAnarchist @RealClearNews @hotairblog @instapundit Yes. Overlook an Obama/Clinton crime spree then talk impeachment over something trivial Trump might have said, it's MADNESS.

I'll say this here: Whatever was said, if anything, might have been nothing more than a heartfelt expression of hope about a friend made by a new President who had, until less than a month before, never been subject to the intricate legal, ethical, and political nuances of nuances of such a public office. Would it make sense to take down President Trump for being too NICE about someone?

We have a system for examining and adjudicating such matters.  We shall see what happens.
