Trump fully cooperated with the Mueller investigation. But when it failed to produce the outcome the Dems were desperate to achieve, they cooked up this BS. They tried to shove it down the throats of Americans but the only ones who swallowed are those who already hated Trump.

Video clips are not witnesses, child.
Witnesses can be questioned and cross-examined. Video clips cannot.
The results of the House's investigation and the evidence they collected was ironclad.
If there had been a trial, it would have resulted in a conviction. There wasn't one.

As for a conviction, a conviction for what?? Obstructing Congress??? Oh please! Seeking a determination from the 3rd branch of our government DOES NOT CONSTITUTE OBSTRUCTION, kiddo.

Yes, child. Stonewalling all evidence, documents, and witnesses is the very definition of Obstruction of Congress. But that was the second, less serious charge Trump faced.

When there's a dispute between 2 branches of government, it is standard to rely on the 3rd branch to rule on the dispute. Trump's council followed well established protocol but the House, in their rush to convict, refused to wait on a ruling. That's NOT OBSTRUCTION, kiddo.

There is no dispute, child. Stonewalling all subpoenas for witnesses and evidence is Obstruction, cut and dry. There is no protocol for counsel to refuse to honor every subpoena from the House while it's conducting its oversight duty. That's never happened before.

Nor was the House in a "rush to convict," as they aren't the people who do the conviction. It's not something they're able to do, at all. The House subpoenaed witnesses, the White House obstructed them, so they charged him with obstruction.
Facts, child.

The Executive Branch can't be convicted of obstructing Congress if they followed proper procedure and filed with the Courts to resolve their dispute. It couldn't be more clear. I guess you aren't a big Spock fan becuz you're most illogical. pic.twitter.com/G04zETJClI

There is no "proper procedure" for completely stonewalling an investigation, child. It does not exist.

There is proper procedure for disputing the merits and validity of a subpoena. Ask ANY former Presidential administration. This is as basic as it gets, kiddo.

No prior Presidential administration completely stonewalled every subpoena for documents and witnesses. Not even Nixon during Watergate.
There is no proper procedure for committing Obstruction of Congress, child.
