Republicans say Trump can't defy Congress but won't do anything to stop him

It's yet another instance where Republicans privately trash Trump but are too scared to actually confront him.
Spineless Republicans strike again.
Politico reported on Monday that a number of Republicans are privately voicing concern about how Trump is obstructing congressional investigations, yet are not prepared to do anything about it.
Two GOP lawmakers — Reps. Tom Cole of Oklahoma and Ken Buck of Colorado — told Politico that they believe Trump's attempts to block aides from complying with congressional subpoenas go too far.
"I’m in Congress. I’m aligned with Congress. I’m not aligned with the executive branch. And I think we have oversight authority over the administration," Buck told Politico. "And if the president has acted illegally, then I think we have oversight authority."
Cole went on to say that unlike what Trump's White House counsel has argued (that Congress needs to have a legislative purpose for their oversight and that there are some things Congress simply cannot probe), he does believe that "there is such a thing as congressional oversight."
