The crime of obstruction of justice is considered a crime against justice itself, since it undermines the validity of the legal system. While the actions of Presidents Nixon and Clinton invoked the federal obstruction of justice statute, states also have similar laws. Below is a summary of the crime.

Obstructing Justice Under Federal Jurisdiction

Obstruction of justice is defined by federal statute as any "interference with the orderly administration of law and justice" and governed by 18 U.S.C. §§ 1501-1521. Federal code identifies more than 20 specific types of obstruction, including "Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees" ( 18 U.S.C. § 1505), the specific code section cited in the Nixon and Clinton articles of impeachment.

Other ways an individual may commit this offense include, but are not limited to, the following acts:

Influencing or injuring an officer or juror generally ( 18 U.S.C. § 1503)Obstruction of criminal investigations ( 18 U.S.C. § 1510)Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant ( 18 U.S.C. § 1512)Retaliating against a witness, victim, or an informant ( 18 U.S.C. § 1513)Destruction of corporate audit records ( 18 U.S.C. § 1520)
