The courts on the other hand might see that distinction even if you do not.
The courts may well rule, since the impeachment inquiry is now over, that Congress no longer has any authority to compel John Bolton to testify against the wishes of the President.
Or they may not. But it will be interesting to see what the Supreme Court does with the argument when it reaches them.
MontereyJack wrote:Trump obstructed them in the lawful carrying out of their duties and powers.
That is incorrect. "Disagreeing with progressives over the extent of their authority and leaving it to the courts to decide" is not obstruction.

Mr. Nixon is another innocent person who was lynched by the Democrats for merely disagreeing with them.
