-- Obstruction of justice related to Flynn. --

Not by the elements of obstruction - 18 USC, Chapter 73. Leaking to the public might compromise jury integrity by creating prejudice, but that is never a crime. Doing so might be against a judge's pre-trial order, if one was in place. The typical remedy for pretrial publicity is voir dire and jury instructions, sometimes by change of venue.
