Historically the State Department and the National Security Council were supposed to advise the President and then execute his policy decisions. Certainly if the State Department had critiqued Obama publicly over say his refusal to support the Arab Spring movement in Iran or had refused to implement his policies the same people who are howling for Trump's head on a platter would have condemned them.
But now Schiff is hearing testimony from people whose complaint isn't that Trump did anything illegal but that they didn't do what he wanted them to do. Even Vindman the latest darling of the fascist Democrats didn't point to anything illegal. All he said was that he thought it was wrong for the US president to ask Ukraine to investigate whether or not Joe Biden and misused his office to cover up corruption.
As Republican Crenshaw has brilliantly pointed out it's in the national interest to know if in fact Joe Biden's targeting of the one and only prosecutor who was a threat to his son was in fact to cover up corruption or just a totally random coincidence.
But of course Democrats have the belief that they can never be investigated since they are above the law so they find the idea that a Republican president would look into Democrat crimes as odious even though they just spent 3 years looking into the alleged and then proven to be untrue "crimes" of Trump.
Democrats whole impeachment case is based on the idea that Trump asking Ukraine to investigate Democrat corruption is a crime.
By that standard pretty much every Democrat politician belongs in jail since they have been investigating Trump since before he was elected.
