Here are a couple of key questions in the Porter scandal that could amount to a crime

Rob Porter may very well have been interfering with an FBI investigation, if this excerpt from a news story is true:

Willoughby said Porter angrily called her when she wrote a blog post about him in April — without naming him — and asked her to remove it, concerned about his image. She said Porter demanded again in the fall that she take down the blog post, citing delays in his security clearance. In January, he asked her again to take it down, she said, telling her that reporters were looking into his past.

In addition, the FBI Director stated today that he handed over to the White house a "completed investigation report" in late July. Key word here, "COMPLETED".

Wray then went on to say that he was requested, shortly thereafter, to do some further investigation. Requested? By whom?

So, a White House higher up instructed (fuck request) Wray to look further into a "completed" report in July or early August, and Porter calls his ex-wife in the Fall in an effort to influence her testimony in an FBI investigation.

Here are a couple of questions we need answers to.
