On May 29, 2019, Special Counsel Robert Mueller delivered his only and final public comments on his Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election. Following Mueller's remarks, John Brennan, director of the CIA under President Obama, commented that Mueller's "public statement today is going to give momentum to those who want to move forward with impeachment hearings. I think there can be no doubt about Mr. Mueller's message that the obstruction of justice issue is not resolved and that there needs to be a follow up action on it."
Let there be no doubt that President Trump, ever since the charge emerged that he and Russia may have colluded with each other to help him win the 2016 election, did everything within his power to impede — yes, "obstruct" — the spreading of that lie (the "Lie"). We now know from the Mueller Report what Trump knew all along: that there was no collusion. The charge was untrue. Donald Trump had a clear responsibility to defend himself against the personal defamation of the Lie, and more importantly, he had an absolute obligation to protect the Office of the President against such a false accusation.
A private citizen, falsely accused of any illegal act or misdeed, can appeal to the legal system and seek public correction of the falsehood and retribution. But as a public official and with no recourse to the courts while the Mueller investigation was in progress, Trump had no choice but to defend himself in the public arena by denying the Lie in tweets, at rallies and press conferences, and to the media.
So yes, Trump made every effort to obstruct efforts by those in the Congress, in the government, and in the media to spread the Lie.

Clapper worked for a corrupt presidency. He was a team member while Muslims were getting favors. Would he lie to the American public?
Apparently he was supposed to just walk up and put his head in the guillotine and say, “Come on, get on with it!!”
This Wyoming Rancher’s Summary is PERFECT...!!
A Wyoming rancher’s summary of the Mueller report and Democrats’ hapless ongoing efforts in one sentence:
“While we recognize that the subject did not actually steal any horses, he is obviously guilty of trying to resist being hanged for it.”
After his customary 5 hours of sleep, Trump rolls out of bed just a tad grumpy. He scans his internet device and finds it crammed full of hundreds of vicious new assaults on him, his family and friends by delusional butt hurt DEMOCRATS who prefer attacking POTUS to defending America.
Distracted from doing the work we elected him to do, he spends hours firing back in defense.
THIS IS CLEARLY THE DEMOCRAT DEFINITION OF “OBSTRUCTION”! THESE PEOPLE ARE MORONS!
IF WE SEND ANY OF THEM BACK IN 2020 OR BEYOND, WE DESERVE TO LOSE THIS NATION AND OUR LIBERTIES!
The 2 minute video at the link explains what WILL HAPPEN if we screw up these coming elections!

4+ of the 10 people you meet every day believe socialism’s a good idea.
Note that I wrote “believe” and not “think” as if they knew the history of Marxist Socialism and DID THINK, one would hope they’d run screaming from the idea.

Can one obstruct a phony witch hunt?
Who wouldn’t obstruct if you were being FRAMED??
Brennan is whining, because the Trump-Trap is still empty.
To believe that it’s even possible for him to obstruct justice, you have to accept the premise that the DOJ, and their subservient minor bureau, the FBI, is somehow independent of the chief executive of the branch of government they’re in.
One should certainly try.
Anything else would be "obstruction of justice" and "a Constitutional crisis." As well as a "threat to national security" and "an attack on Democracy itself."
Teacher! He hit me back!
I obstructed prosecutors for many years defending clients in court against criminal charges.
Coming next....
Defendants pleading “Not Guilty” will be charged with obstruction.
Juries that acquit a criminal defendant will be charged with obstruction.
Right, we need to find out why team Mueller got their legal analysis wrong. No wonder he won't answer questions.
He’s guilty of defending himself. How dare he?
The meme needs to add, “, although we have no proof of that either.” That would make it accurate.
No, not defense, counter attack. Trump has mounted assault on vulnerable Democrat sacred defensive pocsitions.
Those sacred barbwire and sand protected positions are being over run, inspite of whining black defenders yelling RACIST, RADCIST, RACIST!
