It doesn't matter. If there is no there there, then in the end it will be a major campaign issue to get Trump and his allies elected and reelected. They have had Cohen under surveillance for months, if there is nothing there then the FBI raid approved by NY State attorney General will be another big scandal Trump can trumpet.
On the flip side if by some chance there is something criminal on Cohen they have it still won't matter, he won't flip, since he has claimed "he would take a bullet for Trump".
And Trump's pardon of Libby for outing US intelligence officers, that is not a desperate attempt to signal to Manafort to stay strong cause he will pardon him, no that is the supremely confident middle finger to Comey.
Besides, firing Comey is not obstruction of justice, he could even fire Rosenstein and then Mueller. Unfortunately he can't fire the NY DA, which has a copy of whatever they needed to get the warrant on Cohen, nor will he be able to stop that investigation, or take all the information they have.
The good news for Trump is that "he has a different recollection" about what happened than Comey's account. There should be plenty of witnesses and tape recordings to verify that. Trump has them right where he wants them, all he needs to do is pull out the tapes that he and Cohen are so famous for, prove Comey is "lyin", that in turn proves his claim that this is a deep state set up, exposes the FBI, and will really help drain that swamp.
And that is the context of starting the war in Syria.
