Agreed. Not the point.

Explain the elements of obstruction of justice.

If the caller continues they can't later say their intent was not to obstruct.

Further, if the caller denied an intent to obstruct then continues to ask questions, the caller can't use the fifth amendment protection against self incrimination since a prosecutor will be able to refer to the call.

Republicans are short sighted. Interference with elections, interference with government proceedings, interference with grand jury proceedings are all forbidden by law.

Doubling down on forbidden actions will lead to a collapse of leadership and put whoever steps up will be an apologist.
