Watching the Senate impeachment trial, it's becoming evident that if the Senate refuses to call witnesses and dismisses the House articles, then the President's instructions to his administration to defy House subpoenas will stand.
If that happens, the Congress will have ceded power to the Executive branch, which means the branches will no longer be equal. That opens the door to Trump or any other future tyrant to do whatever he/she wants - the very definition of tyranny.
In effect, the Congress will have made Donald Trump king, abdicated its responsibilities and made the United States less free.

Scary times. And the only hope we have is that Republicans have a crisis of conscience. So, no hope.
