Well the first thing I am going to do as a defense attorney is cite all the investigations stopped through pardons and  point out that there was never once an attempt at prosecution for the President halting an investigation through the powers granted to him.  

Of course first you have to prove he even attempted to halt the investigation. Do the testimonies of Coats and Rogers count? We don't have him ever saying that, but we do have him saying if any of his people broke the law, it's good to know. Hmmm...I wonder if that's obstruction too. I wonder if Comey felt pressured to investigate his aids after he said that.
