The President should not answer any questions about the firing of James Comey, as it involves questioning the exercise of his constitutional authority, thus creating a Constitutional crisis. This according even to the well respected Constitutional attorney, Alan Dershowitz.
Other attorneys have also weighed in and said that the President should not answer any questions that do not have to do with a crime. Firing of Comey was not a crime. In fact, Gregg Jarrett, attorney and Fox News legal analyst, has pointed out that the Special Counsel investigation is illegitimate, because the law requires a crime to be stated for a Special Counsel to be appointed. No crime was stated in the appointment of Mueller as Special Counsel. It is an investigation in search of a crime; i.e., "a witch hunt."
Neither has there been any obstruction of justice. It was not a crime for Trump to tell Mueller, "I hope you can find a way ..." in regards to Flynn. That wasn't obstruction, according to the same attorneys, including Alan Dershowitz, who has stated this many times on-air.

Also, obstruction of justice loses its meaning when there is no underlying crime, as is the case here.
At any rate, it looks like this long, meandering, pointless jihad is finally petering out. It will end with a whimper, not a bang. Except, as I hope, Mueller leaves the door open for investigating collusion between the DNC, FBI, DOJ and Russia. For which there actually is evidence.
I never thought the President or any but a few really rednecked Congressmen wanted to stop the Mueller probe. Everyone knew all along there was nothing there, but it had to run its course so every suspicion would be laid to rest. Except those of the most strident Marxist-Leninists.

I agree with you that he should not answer questions due to constitutional crisis.
However, do you feel it would be okay for President Trump, or any politician for that matter, whether it be democrat or republican, to not have to answer questions that are directly related to possible crimes? That essentially is allowing them to get away with any crime that may or may not have been committed, because they can't be questioned about it. Not quite sure how I feel about that.

Which is why the POTUS attorneys nearly lost their dinners last night. POTUS Attorneys trying to keep him in office and the Liar in Chief keeps giving more reason to remove himself.

That would be participating in the witch hunt. No President should do that.
The President has the right to fire the head of the FBI, NSA head and no reason is necessary.
That would be my answer to every question concerning the firing of Comey and Flynn.
When and how the president exercises his authority is not a crime. Why would he answer any questions that have nothing to do with a crime ?
Mueller can ask the questions but he has to accept the answers. He doesn't have to like the answers.
You know, for a man with "the best words" he seems to need a whole staff of people to tell us "what he really meant".
What President didn't have such a staff ?
The prior President had a whole staff of people to explain how I was going to be able to keep my doctor, my health plan and the IM wasn't a tax. When none of that turned out to be true the staff was out explaining what he meant.
