Bottom line: All of this stonewalling confirms questions of obstruction of justice

...otherwise, what would be the harm (or downside for Trump) for intel officials relating conversations with the president, especially if they were completely innocent as claimed?

Even if there isn't a clear legal case to be made, there are still political consequences if Trump is seen by the public as working to block or halt investigations into his WH, or probes into his own conduct.

That's what makes it imperative for the public to know just what Trump discussed. We should be provided with the Comey memos and allowed to make our own judgments, especially since any initial accountability from the president would be in a political arena, not a court.
