Joe knows how to get the deranged base fired up, doesn’t he lol.
He was almost unintelligible yesterday in that speech. Slurring and stringing together disconnected thoughts and sentences,
mispronouncing words....pretty bad.
And, he needs to be careful because there's plenty of well-documented trash on him and his family ready to be flung if his Party
continues their witch hunt on Trump and his family.

In this conflict between executive and legislative branches over testimony, the Constitution has no answers.
There is no express provision in the Constitution giving Congress the power to investigate, issue subpoenas or question cabinet officials. That’s in contrast to constitutional arrangements in a number of parliamentary democracies, which provide a specific right to the legislature to question cabinet or other executive officials, a right known as “interpellation.”
But members of Congress from early in the history of the Republic acted as though they had investigative and subpoena powers similar to those of the British Parliament. Early Congresses found several witnesses in contempt, and in 1821, the Supreme Court ratified the practice by saying that holding people in contempt was part of Congress’s implicit constitutional authority, necessary so that Congress could fulfill its function in a democratic government.
There’s also no provision in the Constitution saying that the president or the other executive branch officials enjoy any special privilege of exemption from subpoena. Like Congress’s subpoena and contempt powers, executive privilege is the product of constitutional inference, custom and raw assertion of power.
George Washington refused to give Congress his correspondence with U.S. ambassadors, reasoning (with an assist from Alexander Hamilton) that his constitutional authority to conduct foreign policy included the capacity to do so effectively — including by keeping some matters private from Congress.
The framers provided no remedy for a struggle between Congress and the president over congressional subpoenas — because they didn’t specify either the right of investigation or executive privilege in the document. In this conflict between constitutional powers, there’s no express constitutional answer.
And without the judiciary, there’s no referee.
The upshot is that you can expect stalemate. Congress can keep harassing and embarrassing the president. The president can keep resisting. Ultimately the check on both branches is public opinion — in the form of the voters who will go to the polls in 2020 and (maybe) resolve the conflict by picking a winner.

Keep laughing as it comes back 10 fold on Biden.
He said he might call out his bikers if he feels threatened.......
Obstruct much?
There was NOTHING BUT COOPERATION with the Mueller Probe, from the Trump Adm., as Muller himself and Rosenstein BOTH concede.
Makeup much bullshit?
Of course he has you gap toothed hillbilly. Yet he is still the least graceful Pres ever.
Who is this idiot?
The thread is about his very act of obstruction.
Stuff your closed mind up your ass and choke to death on your shit.
Holy shit! Is the irony thick on that post!
Irony abounds in DarthLandia where yes means no, bad is good and the religious are the most evil.

Omg, there was no ‘act’ of obstruction.
If anything, Trump would be technically guilty of obstruction. An *act* of obstruction is destroying evidence, tampering with evidence, bribing witnesses or etc.
Please try and get your facts straight.
