    Nixon argued to Frost 1977 that in trying to block FBI probe, he wasn’t guilty of obstructing justice because "my motive was not criminal."

        And that it's not breaking the law if the President's doing it. Trump's actions imply he agrees. #ComeyMemo

        Didn't Nixon view his actions as legal, due in part because he never received monetary reward, which he saw as "criminal"? Thank you.

        That logic sounds like something Trumpettes would come up with in defending their messiah.
