Yes, obstructive conduct. Not collusion with the Russians.
The very fact that Mueller detailed episodes of obstructive conduct and not episodes of collusion reveals how little evidence there is to support allegations of collusion.
And as for the obstruction, remember that an FBI lawyer pled guilty to doctoring an email that was submitted as part of a FISA application used to surveil Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.[1] And Igor Danchenko, the primary researcher of the infamous Steele Dossier, is awaiting trial for lying to the FBI about the dossier's sources.
