    1. FWIW, Barr's arg that the 1512(c) obstruction of justice statute only covers evidence tampering is inconsistent with the plain text of the law - makes (c)(2) redundant. (Separate issue from theory it doesn't/can't cover the president's exercise of his constitutional powers.)

    Objection from someone: Barr could mean 1512(c)(2) catchall is not redundant to (c)(1) w/out having it cover all proceeding-impeding acts in an open-ended way, by interpreting (c)(2) to mean the various types of "witness tampering" described elsewhere in 1512 but not other things
