But isn't obstruction in this case largely whatever Congress says it is?
We'll see what happens with Flynn, since the POTUS could pardon him but that's not the route he took. Otherwise, when there's no criminal investigation and you're not a target and the investigation is proceeding with multiple committees and a special prosecutor, it would seem to be a tough sell to claim obstruction [based on what we know today].
Something far more concrete and damning could emerge, but otherwise this is just the latest transition to a new hope in the "get Trump" saga.
