I have taught of this seriously and I began to have a biased concern to bitcointalk if any signatures campaigns in bitcointalk can affects the existence of bitcointalk if they commit a crime that leads to government investigations.

So far none, there are scam platforms openly promoting here in Bitcointalk, but they are considered third party based on section 260, it's different if the forum is accepting money for advertisement this is openly endorsing a platform.

Secondly do we believe that bitcointalk can  be obstructed by government if their is a noticeable crime by the management?
Yes, it is possible based on their privacy, this could be the reason why they restrict staff from promoting mixers.

Bitcointalk.org is in US jurisdiction, and is subject to US subpoenas, wiretap orders, preservation orders (which would negate the above retention rules), and similar. Furthermore, our service providers could also be subject to similar orders without our knowledge.

From my understanding it seems to me that bitcoin existence is different from the bitcointalk forum and without the existence of bitcointalk forum bitcoin will continue existing, what's your take on this.
Yes definitely Bitcoin is not dependent on Bitcointalk but Bitcointalk is dependent on Bitcoin, this is why this forum is called Bitcointalk.
