How is this not obstruction? If I obstruct investigators from proving murder and they are thus unable to prove it
how is that not criminal obstruction (even though they know I got in the way). If it's not, then guilty parties should feel free to obstruct, no matter how blatant.

I cite the merriam webster definition of 'obstruction of justice'.

Barr most certainly can shut it down under the law Jarqui Mar 2019 #11

He absolutely CAN, but that's not the point FBaggins Mar 2019 #13
