39. To my recollection, that was his finding for Obstruction. Not conspiring, aiding-abetting.

As I recall, he found that there was evidence of conspiring or aiding-abetting, but it didn't rise to the level of proving beyond a reasonable doubt (criminal).

Maybe I'm misremembering, though. I'll check.

UPDATE: I checked. My memory is correct:

The report is very clear that Mueller’s investigation did not establish that the Trump campaign criminally conspired on illegal Russian election interference, or that it coordinated with Russia through either an active or tacit agreement
