No he won't.

Day by day, Trump's Presidency is making George W Bush look better and better:

If you thought Obama's presidency was good, then Trump is just on steroids in comparison.

This though, is just raw polling data:

Trump isn't fit to be mentioned in the same breathe as Bush.

True, she should have been indicted long ago but her entitlement syndrome was so large that even Biden got out of the way. If Obama was so worried about his legacy he really should have let justice / the FBI eat her.

Trump uses his Constitutional Authority as the head of the Executive Branch to fire FBI Director, James Comey and gets Obstruction of Justice thrown his way (Despite him personally not being under investigation at the time, so how one can obstruct justice in this respect, is beyond me).

Not quite, he has constitutional authority to fire the head of the FBI, if it is with cause ; not without. He hasn't been thrown an obstruction charge just yet - just a SC that has been empaneled. He even stated in his letter that Comey told him 3 times that he had not been under investigation but whether he was or not, the firing still has to have merit. It cannot be without cause. Irregardless of whether he was or was nor under investigation the investigation itself would not automatically close if he fired the guy heading it. Charging up with an obstruction of justice charge is probably just to teach the person a lesson. Technically his administration was under investigation, the members in his cabinet have and will continue to be indicted etc etc so doing the bidding on behalf of his attorney (who is almost certainly bound to be indicted) and firing the FBI director absolutely can carry an obstruction charge. His role in the election is being investigated, his campaign is (and whether or not it colluded with the Russians) so for him to fire Comey without cause is a huge problem. Ironically, he blamed Comey's treatment of Hillary as the reason...then changed his mind several days later.
