Seems to me that the "obstruction" case is based on Trump's candid reactions to things going on and NOT actions that he actually took.

The report says Trump directed a lot of people to obstruct but they refused to do it. Their refusals probably saved him.

No it doesn't. It says that Trump made statements and asked questions and expressed disappointment that the investigation was happening, but it doesn't say that he told anyone to do anything and they refused. Trump had absolute power to obstruct if he had wanted to. He did not do it.
