More than ironic that the party of "personal responsibility" is blaming Comey for not reigning in Trump's inappropriate behavior on the spot.

What the Republicans are doing is to just look at the pieces and not the puzzle:

Trump asking loyalty of Comey: Not obstruction of justice
Trump telling everyone to leave the room to talk to Comey alone: Not obstruction of justice
Trump telling Comey he "hoped" the investigation would go away: Not obstruction of justice
Trump firing Comey: Not obstruction of justice

Sure, every single bit of the story on their own is not per se obstruction of justice. But if you step back and look at the whole picture it paints a pretty damning picture.
