Then there is even less behind this issue, as there would be no "appearance of obstruction of justice".

I don't think you understand. One example...republicans like Domenici of NM was pressuring a NM state attorney to prosecute NM state Democrats. Domenici has admitted to calling the WH to "complain". The state attorney (a republican appointee)was later fired for refusing to be influenced. Do you get it? They were interfering with the judicial process...that is a form of obstruction of justice. This attorney didn't think he had a case, Domenici wanted an indictment....he gets fired. Some justice eh?

Going after someone who is innocent of wrongdoing but belongs to a different party may not be obstruction of justice but its not the kind of justice system I want in this country. Why is that not important to you?
