>>“Obstruction of Congress.”
>What?
I do wonder — if Congress passes a piece of legislation, and if the president vetoes it, would that be “obstruction of Congress”? Is the impeachment bar set that low now?
according to Hank “too tall” Johnson high crime is Trump being tall...
Heck; I’ve yet to see a MISDEMEANOR!!
+++++
I read somewhere that Trump ran a red light when he was 17 and just learning to drive. That sounds like a misdemeanor to me. I guess the Dems just missed that one.
OTOH, I really expected a Kitchen Sink Impeachment and am shocked that Pelosi and the Dems decided to play softball. I’m wondering if Queen Nancy is hoping for a 1 day trial in the Senate. No dangerous witnesses and an easy claim that the GOP Senate is not doing its duty after all that “hard work” by the House committees.
Look to Colorado.

Raw evil is readily seen, but couched in a "truth sandwich" (or a research-friendly, helpful FR troll), many would vote to say, "Go ahead! It's not a trap!"
The formula the House Dems used through their ad hoc impeachment inquiry rules (660 or whatever), constructing an unpalatable elixir in which no president should participate, despite the Snow-White-like-witch-with-an-apple saying, "Come testify before the Committee!" is the context for the Obstruction of Congress, Article II. If you don't play ball, that'll be an Article of Impeachment against you!
Notice the recursion of "a wheel within a wheel," salmonella in the salad.
If this precedent of an impeachment reaches its fruition, any malevolent future impeachment inquiry panel could construct untenable, inviolable rules, as Schiff, Nadler and crew clearly did. Then they would politely invite participation from the President, his minions and asking him to bring his copious documentation. The totally arrogant Dems are setting a whole new standard by saying, "If you don't come into our lair and play nice, for that we will impeach you!"
This is beyond frivolous! This is clearly weaponization of the impeachment process. In short, this is a seditious construct and like behavior on the part of the Dems!
