Craig specifically pointed to the White House’s refusal to cooperate with the investigation and its attempts to block the House from documents and witnesses requested by the committees overseeing the inquiry.

The House, Craig told ABC’s “The Investigation” podcast, has “responsibilities to oversee the activities of bureaus in the executive branch.”

"I think the process that the White House has adopted as of now almost guarantees that there's going to be at least one count of obstruction of justice," Craig added. "Because it's very hard to believe that their position is in good faith other than just trying to prevent access to evidence that's pertinent."

He contrasted Clinton’s approach, which he said involved largely deferring to his lawyers on the legal intricacies of the impeachment process, with Trump’s decision to involve himself in “the lawyering of his own case,” adding that it could add “more fuel to the fire of those people who are trying to remove him from office."

Craig also said that advising Clinton during the impeachment process taught him “it is possible to have an impeachment in a divided country but it is impossible to remove a president from office unless there is a developed consensus or a bipartisan recognition that he should be removed from office."
