prevent or hinder a prosecution in order to commit obstruction of justice; it also works the other way around. In other words, if one "corruptly" attempts to cause a prosecution, that too is an obstruction. (The word corruptly is taken from the law/code.)

Thanks. That means that if Iglesias is correct and if the Albuquerque Journal is correct, everybody from Heather Wilson through * was involved in the activity described in title 18 etc. Nice work on their part. It makes it simple. He needs to be impeached. Verify the conversations and bring some charges.
