…How can you have Obstruction when not only was there No Collusion…?
Easy. No criminal wants to be investigated in any way. Hence, criminals try to obstruct any investigation into their affairs because they are afraid the investigation will uncover crimes not directly related to the original investigation. For example, Trump doesn’t want us to see his tax returns or any of his financial records. Mmmm… could those records uncover tax evasion, money laundering, bank fraud, insurance fraud, etc.? Hence, Trump obstructed Mueller’s investigation to keep those documents hidden.
So don’t fall for the “since no crime was concluded there can be no obstruction” argument – it’s absolutely bogus. It’s a lie. Barr is also putting out this narrative, but using fancier language.
