Summing up = The President knowingly admitted to firing a key official for lying to the FBI, then asking the FBI director to drop the investigation of the criminal in question, and fired him for refusing to: Trump fired Flynn knowing he lied to the FBI. He just admitted this on twitter. He then asked Comey to let Flynn off the hook. (Per both Comey's testimony and the President's statements to Lester Holt and to the Russian FM and ambassador.) Comey refused and so Trump fired him. There's a nice neat timeline of obstruction of justice. And it's poetic justice that he sowed it up on twitter. He has certainly proven that his tweets are unfiltered and uncontrollable. His legal defense will have to be he didn't remember what went on, ie that his thoughts and statements are muddled and unreliable. The easiest, least dramatic way of handling this problem is the 25th Amendment.
