Obstruction of Justice has two main components:
As a passive defense, a person could do and say nothing and just hope that the Alleger does not have sufficient evidence to meet the burden of proof. As an active defense, a person could attack one or both of the prongs and try to prove the reverse. This would consist of either the Accused lacked of knowledge concerning the performance of the obstructive act, that he was not aware of the US Governmental issue or matter, or that his actions were wholly disconnected to the issue or matter.
