Predictions:
If charges are filed against President Trump or any of his close relatives there will be a constitutional crisis.
If the Deep State attempts to impeach President Trump there will be an insurrection.

“If charges are filed against President Trump or any of his close relatives there will be a constitutional crisis.”
You are right.
To whom does Mueller answer? Rosenstein (now in place of the AG ), who answers to the President (in this investigation). To whom does the President answer? To the people, via the Electoral College or through their representatives (i.e the impeachment process). I would argue, under Separation of Powers, and as head of the Executive branch, he cannot be put in legal jeopardy for obstruction of justice discharging the duties of his office. Otherwise, those bringing those charges are accountable to no one. The Trump haters don’t have to like his reason, Trump could even give a very bad reason for firing him (like he doesn’t like the way he chews his food) - but the remedy is at the ballot box - either the people’s vote or impeachment (indirectly by the people). To impeach however puts the Congress’ political electability / viability at risk - as they too are accountable to the people.
Final point, does that mean a President cannot obstruct justice? The President can obstruct justice, but not legally. Consider Obama in the middle of an “active investigation” of Lois Lerner and the IRS announced in a tv interview that there was not a “smidgen of evidence” of agency wrongdoing. He used the pretext of an “interview” to telegraph to his executive branch “investigators” where this was going to end on their desks. Who in the agency would do otherwise? He did not have to pick up a phone, send an email, write a letter, to circumvent justice. In 2015, when there was enough time elapsed since his interview, a “miracle” happened - the DOJ cleared the IRS and Lois Lerner of any wrongdoing. Hence, Obama did not have to take action of a bold-faced lie, and abuse the office of the President to overrule his executive branch - his underlings knew what needed to be done. No, these people are really clever, except they are not to any thinking person. One day, some of them will wake up knowing that they did the wrong thing, and have to carry that in their mind and heart for the rest of their lives. Their place in history will not be a good one.
There will be blood in the streets - theirs
