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.
Yes, obstruction in this case is mostly going to be what Congress determines it to be. And again, I'm not saying Trump is guilty of obstruction, just that the POTUS could be charged with it, and impeached for it, even if exercising their constitutional duties.
