From the May 16 edition of CNN's The Situation Room:

WOLF BLITZER (HOST): CNN is reporting that this memo that was written by the FBI Director James Comey, says, among other things, “I hope you can let this go.” The New York Times says the memo also says, “I hope you can see your way clear of letting this go, Michael Flynn go, he is a good guy. I hope can you let this go.” Is that, potentially, impeachable if it is an obstruction of justice? 

REP. ELIJAH CUMMINGS: I think we have to look into it further, Wolf. But I would think so.
