Trump's statement was he "didn't recall." Unless refuted that sort of covers him on the "lying/perjury" charge. The next step up would be, was there something inherently criminal (or guilty) in the call itself?

Understand, IMO the whole campaign was a cesspool of corruption and dirty dealing .. but Mueller reported what he reported (not what I wished) .. and Mueller additionally stated that he was not impeded or shut down. So, absent further evidence ... I'm not sure where your claim of shut down or ample evidence arises.
