Proof of obstruction or vindication?

James Comey tells Congress about his bad date with Donald Trump at the White House. No one else was in the room where it happened, but both men say the other lied. When Trump told Comey he hoped he would drop the investigation of Michael Flynn, was that obstruction of justice?

too much on Trump saying he hoped Comey would drop the investigation. "With criminal intent, you don't just look at one factor. He cleared the room and he fired him and said it was because of Russia."
