@AnneMilgram Thanks for the kind words on the podcast with @PreetBharara. Just to clarify, I have never argued that Article II precludes the application of the obstruction statutes to facially valid exercises of presidential power. In fact, in a lengthy exchange with...
@JoshMBlackman I argued the opposite. I do think that Article II limits the application of the obstruction statutes to POTUS and that Mueller is likely to tread very carefully in that space. So I have always regarded his theory here as a puzzle.
It is a puzzle the Times story largely resolves.
