Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman tells FNC's Tucker Carlson that he has been filing articles of impeachment against President Trump:

REP. BRAD SHERMAN: Obstruction of justice, as defined by 1512 (b)(3) of the criminal law of the United States, in two respects. Most simply, he threatened Comey, in order to get Comey to curtail the investigation of Flynn. That’s obstruction of justice, and it lines up perfectly with the code section and with the cases that have defined it. Secondly, he fired Comey, and then said that his reason, or that the effect, was to curtail or thwart the investigation to the general Russia matter. And of course, in the last couple of days, we’ve learned how important that Russia matter was... Ineffective obstruction of justice is a crime. If you threaten an FBI officer and say, you better not go forward or I’m going to do this or that, and the FBI officer just laughs it off, that’s still obstruction of justice...

you could have clear cut, indubitable evidence and still have jury nullification.
