The strongest case that Mueller’s team could find to establish a charge of obstruction was Trump’s conversation with Comey where Comey said that Trump told him, “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go.”
You can argue if that is obstruction or not, but I don’t see how it impedes the investigation to hope someone is not charged with a process crime.
