Excuse me! Obstruction of justice???? Trump did not say "safe me from my crimes", he said Mueller must be fired over his “conflict of interest.” Was there no conflict of interest? Yes there was. Did Mueller got fired? No! So anyone who did not follow Trumps instructions to obey the law and make sure someone that has a conflict of interest is not on the case, was complicit in braking the law. "Trump pushed White House Counsel Don McGahn in June 2017 to get Mueller fired over “conflicts of interest. McGahn threatened to resign rather than carry out the president’s bidding."
