Where do you get off it's a political matter? Obstruction is a criminal offense. Bill Clinton lost his law license for lying under oath and Trump will also be indicted and tried if he doesn't plead guilty. The congress will have no choice but to impeach him.
I was speaking as to impeachment. I note Clinton wasn't charged criminally with obstruction nor perjury, but he was impeached for both.
As to criminal charges .... while I do personally believe Trump's intent in the Comey firing was "obstruction" if Mueller can't come up with any harder evidence than we've already heard about, I don't expect an obstruction case against Trump will be adjudged sufficient to pursue a criminal indictment. They could probably indict it, but they wouldn't want to because the outcome in a full blown trial would be pretty dicey. And Federal prosecutors generally don't like to indict dicey cases.
(btw ... you made some comment or crack previously about my not understanding what evidence is? Well, I'll tell ya, I don't pretend to be some kind of expert-lawyer, but having been responsible for Federally indicting/convicting probably a couple hundred individuals and a dozen or so corporate entities, not a few of them conspiracy cases .... I understand evidence very well, thank you very much. )
