I agree that despite everything JT and co. has done, it is difficult / impossible to show their actions are illegal. However, it was definitely completely inappropriate, and that puts it somewhere in the gray area between regular persuasion and obstruction of justice.
JT & co. doesn't need to do something criminal or illegal for the general public to judge him in the court of public opinion. I'd say that out of all his blunders since becoming PM, the current scandal is definitely the most serious and damaging event in his political career.
