Obama loyalists are not "whistleblowers". They are activists disguised as such. If you learned anything from the Ukraine debacle it should have been this.......and that Adam Schitt is a liar. Nevertheless, you wept over his lies.
And Republicans are not upholding their oaths... they defend Trump regardless of his unethical behavior.
Your version of my emotions over Schiff's closing comments as usual -- is distorted.

Congress as an institution cannot function on this kind of partisan mentality. There can be no meaningful oversight of the executive branch if the only standards are “Yay, team!” and “Boo, team!” The party of the president should be just as keen as the other party to enforce subpoenas and punish contempt, because both parties in Congress should feel the same concern for the powers of Congress. But of course, that’s not how things work.
Almost all Republicans in the House of Representatives, and the great majority of Republicans in the Senate, will act to defend a president they despise against charges they know to be true. The worst of them will hare after crazy conspiracy theories. Most, though, will voice their concern and then find ways to avoid their duty. The system that protects all of us has failed because the protectors of that system have failed to protect it for us.
Democracy does not fly on autopilot. If the people responsible for the institutions of democracy will not do the job, the job will not be done. While the job goes undone, the United States and the world careen toward conflict and crisis.
The story of recent years is of institutions that were unable to constrain the presidency.
