The country that he can or cannot. so thats a disagreement. on the obstruction piece, it is really interesting if they actually are arguing on the merits of whether or not his conduct was obstruction, because if theyre only focusing -- again, this is just speculation because we havent seen the memos. but if theyre only arguing that the firing of director comey was not obstruction, then theyre really on their heels because that is just one piece of what a potential case for obstruction could cove...
