Any evidence to suggest obstruction, other than the continuous onslaught of "coincidence" surrounding Trump & friends' legal battles?

There was that odd thing Obama did prior to leaving office when he purposely took Boente out of the succession line-up to be acting AG. This happened right around the same time the FBI was going public with Russian interference. Trump put him back in almost immediately, but it makes you wonder if Obama had concerns that Boente was somehow compromised. May have been complete coincidence, but it was an unusual move, which the (very) minor media coverage of the incident took pains to point out.

I guess we'll find out in time whether he is just reaching the natural end of a 33 year career or whether he is leaving to spend more quality time with his defense attorneys.
