I think "tampering" and obstruction have been fairly clearly established/demonstrated. The issue (I believe) is in the "sitting president" principal. Another point here .. who brings charges? The DOJ? Barr? I think you can see the problem. There are things going on at a state level (still having to account for "sitting president). But the McGahn thing almost certainly a federal consideration.
