Let's try this again. If you think an exercise of the president's Article II powers can be obstruction of justice, let @AndyGrewal disabuse you of the notion.https://twitter.com/AndyGrewal/status/956747922607022080 …
The interesting one to watch is if Mueller (or Schneiderman) try to indict Trump for pre-presidential crimes (money laundering, etc.) Can a sitting president be indicted? I've seen more arguments saying no than yes, but it's not entirely clear and never really been tested.

I don't think Mueller is foolhardy enough to go there, as it would give Trump (not to mention congressional Republicans) every excuse to stuff him in a box. Schneiderman, on the other hand, has that Don Quixote vibe about him.

No one really knows the answer to that one. I don't purport to. Whatever the law might be, I think it makes far more sense to impeach first and pursue criminal processes after.
