If Trump really believes he did not commit any crimes and any impeachable offenses, why would he orchestrate blocking evidence?

Because Congress is only to question official policy and not how the policy is made. The policy itself becomes a matter of public record so questioning people that formulated the policy is unnecessary. Basically what Schiff and co tried to do of the administration is akin to the administration attempting to require closed sessions of Schiff's committee be made public. It's unfair in both cases. Note that Trump didn't actually stop anyone from testifying that wanted to. He extended executive privilege to Fauci twice, for example, and Fauci declined it twice.
A Constitutional judge/scholar would know these things which explains why Andrew Napolitano didn't: he is neither.
Also @Chicks: lay off the opinion media. If the publisher can't vet the information then it's opinion. Information that can't be vetted is not reliable.

Anyway...we're getting off topic here. On topic, if Duckworth is named as VP pick, it will immediately trigger federal lawsuits vis-a-vis "natural born citizen."
