The short of Turley's testimony was that there are no grounds on which to impeach the President and the Democrats are abusing their powers.
That is certainly praiseworthy.

He also skewered Turley for stating that a congressional subpoena has to be processed by the court system before Congress can claim obstruction of congress. The constitution gives congress the right to subpoena. Defiance of it is automatically obstruction of congress...

The short version, there is no Constitutional right given to Congress to investigate or issue subpoenas. Just like oversight, it is a power the Congress gave itself.

If so, that established power is not legal?

The Congress can make any laws it wants to make until it encroaches on the power of a co-equal governmental power. That intruded upon branch is then obligated to fight the encroachment. What is going on now is way over the line. It is exactly that for which Alexander Hamilton warned impeachment might be improperly used.
Trump was extraordinarily accommodating to the special counsel. Trump let him interview almost everyone he wanted and turned over 1.2 million documents when asked.
No charges were brought, much less made. Everything that has happened since has been a continuing effort to hamstring the administration. Trump will force some of the Congress' actions into judicial review and the Supremes will decide what is and is not in Congress' authority.
