I have to congratulate Trump on his patience after the attempted “c**pe de tat!” by every Democrat, the MSM journalists, and the “weaponized government investigative agencies” appointed by Democrat Loyalists Under Barack Obama “marshaled up to direct all their energy to influence the outcome of the e******n in favor of Hillary Clinton and, in the event of a loss, attempt to undermine his ability to serve the American people by constantly attacking his leadership, his character, and his integrity. Now that the Mueller Report is out, they will “scrutinize the report” in a “concerted effort to find a way to wage war against Trump,” find something, find anything, in an attempt to ruin the man, obstruct his policies, divide the country, and limit progress. This is sinful and the Democrats should be ashamed, but they don’t even know the definition of the word. I am surprised Trump did not use executive privilege to stop this charade of an Investigation once it became clear that the “premise of the investigation” was a totally false Dossier and unjustified and illegal FISA warrants which were cleared by the courts giving them the authorization to spy on our president. I doubt that, knowing of this ruse, I would allowed the investigation to continue. “The Democrats and their surrogates are d********g, have no principals, no morals, no integrity. They are bad for the country! I will do everything in my power to expose, discredit and destroy them!”

The objection itself doesn't lead to obstruction but some of he's decisions can be considered as attempt to obstruct. The following elements are ;
There was a pending federal judicial proceeding;
The defendant knew of the proceeding; and
The defendant had corrupt intent to interfere with or attempted to interfere with the proceeding.
Since some decsions were made with reasons for making the decision, some of them could be interpreted with reasonable doubt ,that he was attempting to obstruct.
The actual codes are as follows;
Obstruction of justice is defined by federal statute as any "interference with the orderly administration of law and justice" and governed by 18 U.S.C. §§ 1501-1521. Federal code identifies more than 20 specific types of obstruction, including "Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees" (18 U.S.C. § 1505), the specific code section cited in the Nixon and Clinton articles of impeachment.
Other incidents are;
Influencing or injuring an officer or juror generally (18 U.S.C. § 1503)
Obstruction of criminal investigations (18 U.S.C. § 1510)
Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant (18 U.S.C. § 1512)
Retaliating against a witness, victim, or an informant (18 U.S.C. § 1513)
Destruction of corporate audit records (18 U.S.C. § 1520).
Now as with everthing that can be done you interpret the infomation as you want, which both conservatives and liberals have done.
This info came from the Findlaw.com so yes it was possible that he did obstruct, it is not on the investigator to make the decision he just provides the
facts or some may call them non facts.
