Reading through the memo to congress and the commentary in the link you once again have Trump not doing anything illegal but certainly against the norms of all previous presidents. I think the level of nuance required to read that memo and understand the implications of it is to complex for a sound bite. Instead the sound bite will be
Did Trump directly ask you to end the investigation of Flynn.
No, Not directly
Did Trump to anything that contravened any laws
No,
Were you investigating Trump
No
Did you tell Trump on 3 occasions that you weren't investigating him.
Yes
And with that sound bite being over Trumps skates through this one with his support relatively undamaged or even improved as there is backlash against the media for hyping this into the super bowl.
