• President Donald Trump gave a rundown of his thinking about the twin probes into possible wrongdoing from his campaign and administration on Monday, and threatened Democratic lawmakers in the process.
• Trump said he didn't collude with Russia, so he can't be guilty of obstructing justice if he was "fighting back" against a case that found no wrongdoing.
• The law does not work that way, and obstructing an investigation, no matter the result of the investigation, can be prosecuted.
