Going after someone who is innocent of wrongdoing but belongs to a different party may not be obstruction of justice but its not the kind of justice system I want in this country.

Its not the type of justice system I want either.

OTOH I don't think it close to being clear that the person in question was innocent of any wrongdoing.

If the situation was reversed and in an unclear or disputed situation, the prosecutor was going to go ahead, and then was fired to prevent the prosecution, you could claim obstruction of justice. As it stands it just looks more like a disagreement over what can and should be prosecuted.

Should the prosecution have happened? I don't know. I don't you or anyone else here does either, even if you think you do. We all know the different opinions put forth by the people involved and various comentators, but few, perhaps none of us, know any of the details of the case.
