We can't just take the emperor's word that there is no there there. The Russian meddling was accomplished through highly sophisticated, and evasive cyber means and the use of undercover intelligence agents. We, the public, don't know much about the evidence because our intelligence experts who have been tracking this stuff since last summer during the election campaign, don't want to divulge what they know because that would reveal our intelligence gathering capability. When the investigations are complete, a full and confidential report will be made to Congress and to the President.
In the meantime, shouldn't we want to know what the Russians did? Shouldn't we let the investigators track down all the evidence unimpeded?
The firing of the man at the top of the agency doing a big part of the investigation, and then admitting that the firing was motivated by the on-going investigation causing trouble for the one who fired him, is a textbook example of obstruction of justice. This is a separate issue from the Russian thing and whether or not Trump's campaign people were involved. Obstruction would not be an issue but for Trump's own actions and words.
