We have to be careful with our wording here: Mueller can investigate obstruction "as a crime" without any expectation that he can *charge* that crime via indictment while the president is still in the Oval Office. That's *different* from deeming Trump's obstruction non-criminal.
2/ Should Mueller have determined a crime was committed but can't be charged (for now) "as a crime" due to DOJ guidance on indicting a POTUS, he might not put witnesses before the grand jury but, as Ryan says, use interviews to draft a report for possible *impeachment* purposes.
3/ But obstruction can be a basis for impeachment *separate* from "abuse of power," so Mueller by no means has to *choose* between these two terms, concepts, and fact patterns in formulating that section of his upcoming report to DOJ. I expect *both* allegations will be featured.
