One hypothesis I came up with in the gym: Mueller is laying out the obstruction case now, before finishing the conspiracy one, to make it impossible for Trump to issue pardons, just before he brings the hammer on Manafort.

They won't act on it, though Dems will squawk about it a lot. It might tie Trump's hands further on any other obstruction, for one, while Mueller does the conspiracy charges.
