Your refusal to actually answer to that shows who is in the bubble. Facts don't have any effect on you.

And, no, it's not. You (general) can commit obstruction of justice in relation to a congressional committee's LAWFUL actions - but there is no such crime as obstruction of congress.
In a House full of lawyers, this is damning. They wouldn't have accidentally said 'congress' meaning 'justice' - so, why the wording? Most reasonable conclusion is that they KNEW the could not prove the elements of obstruction of justice.

Not 'some' - a significant proportion.
He's not actively running compared to the Democrats entire field yet he's blowing them all out of the water in fundraising. That's not 'just the base' or 'party loyalists' - there are a LOT of the American people supporting Trump with their wallets.

You are omitting that unlike the rest of us the President has the right of Executive Privilege. That makes it a whole 'nuther ball game.

Precedent says otherwise - the House went to the Court when Nixon claimed exec privilege. Coequal branches can equal funky proceedings.
For which the House never sought relief in court.
Congress has sent multiple subpoenas to Trump which were ignored. Attempts to enforce through courts have taken much time and Trump appeals all the losses and nothing has been resolved.
Pelosi then took the control out of the courts and instead of trying to enforce other subpoenas the tactic became to use the non compliance as evidence of obstruction. They drop any new court actions and start publicly claiming obstruction and pointing out all the ignored subpoenas.
Dude, they ARE the court now. This doesn't go to the High Court - it goes to the Senate. The Republicans will hammer home that unlike the Nixon inquiry, the House didn't authorize the Judiciary committee and the 'inquiry' was run in the basement by Intel - also without authorization, which is why the subpoenas are in question - per Wilkinson - to the Senate and the American people. The case for 'obstruction' is already DOA.
