So if I understand Mueller says no collusion. But maybe some obstruction depending on how you look at it. So if Trump obstructed he did so over something that is nonexistent?

Yes and no. It's possible he obstructed to prevent them from finding something else but yes the potential crime that was the charge of the SC turned out not to be a crime. Barr offered this as one reason he ultimately didn't see a case for obstruction; it's also the one that anti-Trumpers are fixated on (including Comey) while they ignore the others.

Firing Comey? Within his rights and RR letter and Horowitz findings provide ample legit reasons for firing.

Asking for slack on Flynn? Comey testified he never felt any pressure to comply, the issue was never pressed and it was never asked again.

Publicly questioning the investigation (Witch Hunt; SC full of angry Democrats)? Can the accused not suggest the investigation into them is BS?

Per the Barr memo; Mueller laid out these things (more I'm sure) and provided arguments both why they may merit obstruction charges and why the don't merit obstruction charges. IOW - these are events lacking evidence of intent to hinder the investigation.
 
Are you going to defend the double standard or just try to be cute?

that's the double standard you are bent about? of all the double standards that's the one? It's worse than I thought.

Okay, let's take your Tweet source - Daniel argues that Trump is "extremely inaccurate" with the concept that you can't investigate legally unless there is a crime. In effect Daniel is endorsing Trump's claim that it's perfectly fine to investigate Lynch because clearly a crime doesn't have to been committed to do a full investigation; maybe an SC is warranted.
