The Republicans are focusing on why Mueller investigated Trump for obstruction of justice even though he knew he wasn’t going to indict him.

The idea that criminal obstruction of justice could happen even in the absence of other criminal activity was an important part of the report, which is why Sheila Jackson Lee is focusing on it.
