Tribe: This makes Nixon's impeachable obstruction of justice look like a kindergarten exercise.

Tweet from Laurence Tribe, minutes ago:





This makes Nixon’s impeachable obstruction of justice look like a kindergarten exercise. It’s staggering. @RepJerryNadler’s House Judiciary Committee will have its hands full. And the counterintelligence facets will keep @RepAdamSchiff more than fully occupied as well.




He was commenting on this tweet from Adam Schiff about today's NYT bombshell:

All of it a pattern of obstruction. All of it dangerous to the rule of law.
