1.  Abuse of Power - What evidence is there that concludes without a shadow of a doubt of abuse of power?  How is this a "high crime"?

2.  Obstruction of Congress - Again, what evidence is there that this is somehow a crime?  Because The President directed certain members not to testify?

If you truly can't see this for what it is then I can't help you.

Whenever I don't understand something, first I go to Wikipedia to try to get the lay of the land. in this case Wikipedia is kind of a dangerous choice because it gets edited frequently. But to their credit, Wikipedia tracks all changes. And they have an article about "high crimes in misdemeanors". I've checked what it says both now and what it said back in 2015. It essentially has the same message. I'd start there.

So you don't have an answer backed up by fact.  I'm shocked (sarcasm).

Explain how either article is a "high crime or misdemeanor".  I'll give you a hint... neither one.

The whole reason for "impeachment" is simply because the democrats want to overturn the results of the last presidential election.  The timing of it is simply to influence the next election.  There is nothing there to prove the prior accusations of "quid-pro-quo, Russian collusion, bribery" or any of the other nonsense that your party (the democrats) have claimed.

Ask yourself this.  Why did the democrats all of the sudden want to get UCSMCA passed so quickly?  It's been sitting in The House for a year, yet the democrat controlled house sat on it until now.  Why was the announcement released just one hour after the impeachment announcement?

If you don't see the clear partisan politics behind all of this... you must be blind.
