Our Congressional employees have seemingly lost themselves in the details of the Mueller report and want to elicit testimony from individuals close to the President to discuss it. These requests for access to these parties have been systematically denied.

The time has come for Congress to take half-step backward in order to enable a view of the entire forest.

Blatantly visible will be blinding acts of obstruction of justice appearing right before them, in real time, which is being overlooked.

Denials by the President to allow members of his team to testify and be questioned as part of the oversight duties of Congress is 100-percent, absolute obstruction of justice since it is justice that is in question.

It’s as though Congress is solely focused on what happened in 2016 and slightly beyond but can’t see what’s happening today.
