  This refers to physical impediments. Spreading legal information is not an impediment, it is free speech. If all info could be interpreted as impediments to federal officers then phones, the internet, the human voice, etc would be illegal

    In this case conspiracy is using communication to coordinate illegal impediment.

      Communicating to protest in a legal way is a civil right
