Non-lawyer here - and I am going off of memory for some of this, so most of the following will probably be just nonsensical babble - but here goes. If I am not mistaken, Mueller said that Trump certainly seemed to partake in obstruction of justice during his investigation. And that it was his belief that a sitting president could be indicted after he leaves office for crimes committing while in office. And then there is the alleged current investigation into "pay for pardons" - which I believe is not related to these pardons; however, it does seem to indicate that giving a pardon in exchange for some sort of gain is illegal. So can't it be argued that these recent pardons strengthen obstruction of justice charges against Trump? Perhaps there would need to be evidence of direct conversations of such? Though it seems like Mueller felt like there was already enough there for obstruction charges, so it just seems like this further strengthens a case.
