The problem is that they then tried to cover it up and in the continuing obstruction have yet to release a single document requested or allowed a single witness to testify about.
Investigate all you want, but have something more solid to investigate than a spin. There can be a personal dissatisfaction in a federal government executive agency with how the President is handling a particular situation, there may even be a personal belief that the President is doing something purely for personal gain. That should be handled internally with complaints and advice, not by making a federal case for impeachment. What should be the important thing is getting policy "right," not making personal interpretations of the President's intent.

In the final analysis, ANYTHING the President does will accrue to either his political benefit or his political detriment. So the question should be is his policy right or wrong, good or bad, and use the internal agency means to question and advise and change any policy that one disagrees with. Whether it personally helps the President's political health or not.

But, in any case, it is not up to agency bureaucrats to spin the President's intent.
