It should be boiling down to a different word - treaty.

President Clinton signed and the Senate approved a treaty with Ukraine that SPECIFICLY allows each nation to request assistance with investigations. A treaty carries the weight of Federal law and is the law of the land. If a law says something is legal (say driving 55 mph) then there is no crime.

No crime means no obstruction

0 + 0 does not = 4

Their Left wing will bolt if they don't continue these theatrics. Bernie can run as an independent and take 30% right away. They would rather alienate their few remaining moderates than give up on the Young Left. AOC has befome the real Speaker of the House.
