If Trump telling Senators to stop or end investigating HIM is not Obstruction of Justice

Then that term has no meaning at all.
What, does he have to pull out a gun and threaten them before it is considered an obstruction of justice????

If this was Obama or Hillary or any other Democrat, every sanctimonious Republican defending Trump and pooh poohing this would have been up in arms in calling for their arrest or impeachment for obstruction of justice (and rightly so).

No wonder Trump feels emboldened in breaking laws and customs left and right. Republicans allow him to.

2 clear cases of obstruction of justice by the President:
--Telling senators to abandon/end/stop the Russia investigation, which directly involves him and his campaign
--Telling the FBI director to drop an investigation into his co-conspirator (Flynn), and then firing that same director when the director shows loyalty to the Constitution
