A Republican congressman - Justin Amash of Michigan - actually read the Mueller Report and drew his own conclusions. We might not agree on many topics, but somethings are more important. Some ideals are greater than party politics, like the ideal that no man is above the law. Every thing a President does serves as precedent for the next President. You think this President is above the law, then so will the next one and he or she might be affiliated with a different party.

Privately, Congressional Republicans admit that the President obstructed justice. They don't say so publicly for fear of a tweet. That is pure cowardice - to know what is right, but to ignore it for fear. Only in the Republican party do you become ostracized for telling the truth, for seeing the facts as they are, and saying so publicly.
You can't obstruct justice without an underlying crime? Yes you can and happens often. More so, there we definitely underlying crimes - which resulted in the indictments of multiple Russian officers and companies, and the guilty pleas of the President's Director of National Intelligence, Trump's Deputy Campaign Chairman, and the pleas and verdicts against Trump's Campaign Chairman. So yes. There were underlying crimes. The obstruction didn't work? Doesn't matter. Attempted obstruction is still obstruction. That the President impotently cries for people to do things and they don't do it is another area for concern.
