That's obstruction of justice, and Trump tried to hide his guilt because he asked McGahn to deny he did it afterward: So here's a related question: Should defendants in criminals trials be allowed to remove the prosecutors trying to prosecute them in their own trials? And secondly, should there be severe penalties for the said defendant if they do?

Two crucial points you seem to be overlooking:
1) Was Mueller fired?
2) Was Trump guilty of Russian Collusion?

So says the DNC press, and congressmen, but they were not there. Still they know more than both McGahn and the president. I think those who lie in public, when they have no facts, should be drawn and quartered in public.

what the democrats are going for here, is RENEWED fire in the belly, to start a full throated, and meaty impeachment trial.
I think they got what they wanted in the first few minutes.
Did the report EXONORATE him? NO-
Does the report indicate there was collusion? YES.
Is the only reason you didn't indict, because you can't indict a sitting president? YES.
Can a president be charged AFTER he is out of office. YES.
The rest doesn't matter.............there is it..........he's saying TRUMP committed crimes.......they rise to the level of impeachment...........and they did NOT exonerate him, but HE had no power to indict.
Congress has the power to IMPEACH. They need to DO that.

It is within the Presidents right to fire any member of the executive branch. Just as it was when he fired James Comey.

Nope, if Trump punished McGahn for not doing as asked, then you might have a case. He did not, never hurts to ask.
