It seems to me that this represents a tacit admission of obstruction of justice in the same vein as "Even if he did collude, collusion isn't a crime" is an admission of "collusion."
Trump's legal team is clearly setting the stage to say the president cannot be charged with any of the core crimes discussed in the Russia probe: collusion and obstruction. Presumably, you wouldn't preemptively make these arguments unless you felt there was a chance charges are coming.

It's seems to me your argument is circular.
Regarding the bolded text. With the levels of paranoia Trump displays this would be true regardless of what he actually did or didn't do making this a fan the fire presumption.
