So my question, "How could Libby have 'obstructed a criminal investigation' if the subject of the investigation was not a crime?"
It's all just a failed coup attempt by Clinton appointees within the CIA and State Department who should have been replaced by the President in January 2001.

Well, he was convicted of lying to authorities and obstruction. That just means he got in the way of the investigation.
