Now for a bout of that fun legal research to see if that was a dumb question or not.
That was quite a question there, dumbass. However, the legal definition opens up two more questions.

"A: Obstruction may consist of any attempt to hinder the discovery, apprehension, conviction or punishment of anyone who has committed a crime. The acts by which justice is obstructed may include bribery, murder, intimidation, and the use of physical force against witnesses, law enforcement officers or court officials."

So did Trump bribe, murder, intimidate, or use physical force against Comey or do anything that might be defined as such? And is the first definition that popped into google incomplete?
