The Roberts decision effectively constitutionalizes the ideas of the nutbar Turley-Dershowitz- Giuliani wing that even mainstream conservative legal commentators made fun of in the Trump years, like that there’s no such thing as presidential obstruction of justice.

"Corruptly" is an element of that offense! And it standardly involves the use of *official powers* "corruptly." Indeed for a president it's mostly what Roberts characterizes as *core* powers: fire the FBI Director, fire the AG, hold out the prospect of pardons (and then actually pardon) witnesses.
