“[O]bstruction of a Congressional inquiry was part of the three counts of impeachment voted by the Judiciary Committee in 1974 against President Richard Nixon, which would certainly have been overwhelmingly adopted by the full House before an overwhelming Senate vote to remove him if Nixon hadn’t resigned first.
In other words, whatever Trump did or didn’t do in response to the Russia inquiry, he is now fully engaged (as Nixon was in the months before he resigned on Aug. 9, 1974) in a a coverup of a coverup.
And that is legitimate grounds for impeachment and removal…
What’s important to understand is just how much all of this undermines the rule of law. The president certainly did something that looks like obstruction of justice. The Mueller report said that it was obstruction of justice. And yet congressional Republicans are ignoring it. And they are actively cooperating with the president’s attempts to stretch executive privilege to the point where the president would be immune from any congressional and perhaps judicial oversight at all.“ – Jonathan Bernstein

It was Lewandowki that looked bad not the House Democrats. His vacation answer to why he did not deliver Trump’s message to Jeff Sessions provoked laughter in the hearing room. He was humiliated when the the video clips of his duplicitous press interviews forced him to admit that he is a big fat liar. A brazen one but a liar nonetheless.
