Their smoking gun? Stories being reported by the NYT and the WP citing anonymous sources that simply don't rise to the level of obstruction even if they were true. Which the evidence suggests it's all fake news to begin with.
In the court of law, they don't even get to first base.

White House Plans to Have Trump Ally Review Intelligence Agenciesnytimes.com
Trump brought up the Russia saga himself during a meeting with Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump and Netanyahu addressed reporters briefly before their joint meeting began.
When reporters started yelling questions, press minders from both delegations tried to cut off the event and move reporters and photographers away.
Trump held up his hands in order to give himself time to respond, pausing until it was quiet enough for him to speak.
'I never mentioned the word or the name Israel. Never mentioned during that conversation,' Trump said.
'They're all saying I did, so you have another story wrong,' Trump continued, taking a shot at the media.
'Never mentioned the word Israel,' Trump added.

From the article...Pres. Trump asked two intelligence community leaders to publicly deny evidence of Russia collusion, US sources say (link: http://cnn.it/2qdJGNk) cnn.it/2qdJGNk
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump asked two of the government's top intelligence chiefs
to publicly deny evidence of cooperation between his campaign and Russia during the 2016 election,
multiple current and former US officials confirmed to CNN Monday.
Damn. That's pretty convincing evidence. I wonder who those multiple current and former US officials are?
Surely they aren't imaginary.
I have it from a reliable source that one of the officials is non other than Manfred "Manny" Quinn.
Testifying in front of the House Intelligence Committee Tuesday, former CIA Director John Brennan said he is unaware of any efforts by President Trump or his staff to pressure the intelligence community into dropping the criminal investigation surrounding former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. Brennan served under President Obama.
Ranking Member Adam Schiff: In respect to a number of allegations made recently that the president of his aides may have sought to enlist the help of members the IC [intelligence community] or Director Comey himself to drop the Flynn investigation. Have any members of the IC shared with you their concerns that the president was attempting to enlist the help of people within the intelligence community to drop the Flynn investigation?
Brennan: No sir.
Schiff: Are you aware of any efforts the president has made to enlist the help of the intelligence community to push back on a narrative involving the collusion issue?
Brennan: I am unaware of it.
