If Flynn goes down it will be a black mark on the Trump presidency, even if Flynn acted of his own accord. The biggest reason for this is the politics of it all, but it is also because of the warnings Trump received but did not heed and of course Trump saying Flynn's contacts with Russia were not in the wrong, only him lying to Pence. With Trump saying that, if the contacts were in fact in the wrong, then it will be a big issue for the administration.

There is a potential case that can be made for obstruction of justice, here. His conversation with Comey about Flynn is the least benign thing out there on Trump right now.

It is completely benign.  There is zero law saying he can't do this.  THE DOJ has its own guidelines about this kind of communication so they may decide to step out of a conversation.  We had Rogers and Coats both testify they they were not pressured.    This was a counter-intelligence investigation, and not a criminal one so there is no obstruction of justice even if you believed he was interfering.
