Well... Trump insinuated that there were tapes on Twitter (but like most of what Trump says, on Twitter or in any other medium, I assume that's untrue). One would assume that's why Trump kept asking people to leave the room to speak with Comey (including asking Sessions & Kushner specifically to leave after the crowd had left).

In the sense of getting a criminal conviction for obstruction? I dunno, probably/maybe? One would also assume that Trump didn't pressure/fire Comey on complete whims... he must have discussed it with other people and those other people can potentially affirm parts of Comey's testimony. There's also no such extra burden on using it as grounds for impeachment.
