Did President obstruct justice?

The New York Times has reported today that in a private meeting between President Trump and FBI Director Comey, Trump asked Comey to "shut down" the Mike Flynn investigation " he's a nice guy"

Comey was upset by this interaction and documented this interaction, as is his typical behaviour apparently, and wrote a number of memos and has distributed them with people he trusts as well as in his office to ensure he had covered himself.

This interaction could possibly result in a charge of obstruction of justice by Prresident Trump which is criminal but not prosecutable for a sitting President.  Impeachment would be the first action followed by a criminal trial.

Trump is due to be released out onto the global stage within days!
What will happen next?
