Rep Demmings: 2nd article was Obstruction of Congress; Trump confesses and brags about it



Rep. Val Demings ✔ @RepValDemings

The second article of impeachment was for obstruction of Congress: covering up witnesses and documents from the American people.

This morning the President not only confessed to it, he bragged about it:

"Honestly, we have all the material. They don't have the material."

They are watching him closely and he'll hang himself before this is over, I'm hoping.

I am sure we'll be hearing about this in today's session.

...a blatant admission of obstruction. Thank you Rep. Demings and house managers for not you're not allowing this crook get away with anything he does, say--the spotlight of justice is focused on him. And still the guy can't stfu...oh well on the other hand, he is making the case for his own indictment

Thanks for post.
