Well, the presence of the counter-intelligence investigation actually complicates things and could open up 1505. There's also a grand-jury investigation of Flynn so any attempt to impede that could be an entirely different obstruction charge. I'll leave that debate up to attorneys with more time than me.
But ultimately whether what Trump did actually constitutes an obstruction charge doesn't matter. The President can't be charged with a crime and the only method of punishment - impeachment - is a political issue not a legal one. Congress needs to cite no statute to remove a President.

There is absolutely zero precedent for the counter intelligence argument. It is a Hail Mary recently proposed with no basis in law. If that is what you are hanging your hat on, this will be a rough road for you.
While true impeachment doesn't require conviction of a crime...good luck getting two thirds of the senate to convict absent one.
What, in your opinion, are the odds of conviction of impeachment?
