My guess is that Schiff’s “subpoenas” were challenged as being unenforceable because they weren’t part of a legally binding impeachment process, which would have required a House vote.

Thus, going to court to claim Congress is trying to force something they can’t actually do is apparently “obstruction”.

The House Intel Committee subpoena'd a crap ton of documents from Trump and he/the WH turned over like 95% of what was requested. The other 5% they classified as "Executive Privilege" (things like communications with WH Counsel, Don McGahn, and personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, for instance), and then Trump petitioned Federal Courts/SCOTUS to rule on this, and they will not turn those remaining documents over unless the court tells them to.

And the Dems are calling this "Obstruction of Justice".

Not only are they effectually disregarding the concept of Executive Privilege, but they are also disregarding Attorney-Client Privilege AND the notion that there is a 3rd equal branch of government purposed for Checks and Balances.

The Dems are the ones being authoritarian, fascist, and completely abusing their power.
