    First, you don't get to obstruct an ongoing investigation, whether there's ultimately an underlying crime found or not. You honestly buy the utterly vacuous argument that a president gets to deliberately sabotage an investigation under those circumstances? Uh,. no. That's absurd. That's never been the law.

    Second, there were scores of underlying crimes, from the people charged and convicted, to Russians charged in absentia. How on Earth could you be unaware of that?

    "Can you let Mike Flynn go?" ring a bell?

    Third, if you actually think that's existing law, cite some authority for that proposition. Your say so in light of the numerous posts which should have disabused of that notion isn't remotely enough to pass the tiniest bit of scrutiny.

    Show me where a "crime" is necessary for a special counsel investigation.

    Then read this:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Counsel_investigation_(2017–2019)

    The Special Counsel investigation was an investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and suspicious links between Trump associates and Russian officials, conducted by special prosecutor Robert Mueller from May 2017 to March 2019. It was also called the Russia investigation, the Mueller probe, and the Mueller investigation.[1][2] Since July 2016, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had been covertly investigating activities by Russian operatives and by members of the Trump presidential campaign, under the code name "Crossfire Hurricane".[3] In May 2017, President Donald Trump dismissed FBI Director James Comey, because he was critical of Comey's handling of the Clinton and Russia probes. Within eight days, following a call to action by Democratic lawmakers and revelations by Comey, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Mueller, a former FBI director, to take over the FBI's work.[4] According to its authorizing document,[5] the investigation's scope included allegations of "links and/or coordination" between the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump campaign.[6][7] Mueller was also mandated to pursue "any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation." The probe included a criminal investigation which looked into potential obstruction of justice charges against Trump and members of his campaign or his administration.[8
