Impeachment whine: Trump thinks Republicans weren't tough on Obama. Believe me, we were.

Just for context, the investigation conducted by special counsel Robert Mueller lasted for a little less than two years. While in control of Congress, House Republicans launched not one, not two but three multiyear investigations that each lasted longer than the Mueller probe. The third of these investigations was initiated in 2013 into the IRS alleged targeting scandal. It was eventually debunked as baseless, with even the Trump administration declaring in 2017 that prosecuting the matter would not be appropriate based on the available evidence.

The reality is our committee never had anything close to the severity and volume of smoking gun evidence of corruption that exists right now, and we still managed to hold hundreds of oversight hearings, issue hundreds of subpoenas and conduct multiple multiyear investigations.

It was during this time that the standard for modern-day oversight was established, a standard that Republicans seemed all too willing to abandon the minute Donald Trump took office. As I noted earlier this year, it was when Obama was in office that the Jim Jordans of the world declared that the only path to the truth" is through the House. It was during Obama's tenure that my former boss, Darrell Issa, said, Our purpose has always been to get the information the committee needs to complete its work, that it is not only entitled to but obligated to do."

It was when Obama was president that the chair of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, Trey Gowdy, said, The notion that you can withhold information and documents from Congress no matter whether you are the party in power or not in power is wrong. Respect for the rule of law must mean something, irrespective of the vicissitudes of political cycles."

So, if Donald Trump is wondering what Republicans would have done to Obama? The answer is, everything the Democrats are doing to him and more.

As much as people love hating on Obama, the guy had super low support from the Congress. Look how little progress let alone counter-progress Trump made with Congress support

Technically, it was 1 year, 10 months. We lost a Senator due to death, and lost the supermajority because of that.
