.@RepZoeLofgren: "The House's sole power of impeachment wouldn't be sole or much of a power if the House could not investigate the president at all without spending years litigating before the third branch of government."
@RepZoeLofgren Lofgren lays out the timeline for litigating a subpoena, showing why Trump is using it to block the investigation: "The president can't put off impeachment for years by ordering total defiance of the House, then insist they go to court even as he argues they can't go to court."
@RepZoeLofgren "The consequences of presidential obstruction go beyond any particular impeachment inquiry. They go to the heart of the impeachment power itself. They weaken our shield against a dangerous or corrupt president."
@RepZoeLofgren .@RepZoeLofgren: "A president cannot be immune from oversight, accountability, and even simple justice in the exercise of the powers entrusted to him. We can't let that stand in this case. The president must forfeit the powers that he has abused and be removed from office."
