NEW: Mueller report rejects the idea you can only obstruct justice if you have committed a crime - a key part of Barr defence.

“The injury to the integrity of the justice system is the same regardless of whether a person committed the underlying wrong.”
Also this: “Obstruction of justice can be motivated by a desire to protect non-criminal personal interests, to protect against investigations where underlying criminal liability falls into a gray area, or to avoid personal embarrassment.”
Mueller report also firmly rejects the idea you can’t be done on obstruction for stuff you say publicly.
