There was a legitimate investigation run by (Republican) James Comey, (Republican) Robert Mueller and (Republican) Rod Rosenstein. It revealed a lot of criminal conduct by people other than the President. Trump obstructed that investigation.
Any investigation of a President is going to be "political" because people do not want their government to be corrupt or do illegal things. You seem to think that a President who calls an investigation "political" is justified in breaking the law to obstruct it. That's loony tunes. Do you really think that? If not, why not?
