I did not grasp at straws. I stated some facts that you cannot refute. And I reviewed the "ten ways." They are flimsy and can easily be interpreted in other ways than obstruction. Which is why Mueller could not conclude that Trump obstructed. And the necessity of proving criminal intent is a burden that the prosecution could not meet since there was no underlying crime being covered up. It can obviously be concluded that Trump was trying to stop or mitigate what he, probably rightly, thought was an attempt to destroy him by trying to make it look like he was conspiring when he knew he wasn't. His intent, it can obviously be seen, not as an attempt to cover up actual conspiracy, but to stop the attempt to falsely destroy him.
