Well... in playing devils advocate, democrats had this coming. The Whitehouse refusal to cooperate, that is.
No big surprise.
Pelosi hands out subpoenas like StarBucks hands out espresso. But the real challenge is to get the Whitehouse to take them seriously, which they never will.
During Nixon, all of those Nixon Whitehouse employees including Nixon's lawyer appeared before the investigating committee.
Surely Nixon was not happy about that.
So, what did the committee investigating Watergate and Nixon do differently than Pelosi and her impeachment committee are doing?
Don't we have laws? Checks and balances? Protocol that must be followed?
Since when can any president or Whitehouse just say no?
I thought we had laws and a constitution disallowing any president to run amuck? But Trump is running amuck, and making it up as he goes along.
Seriously, there is nothing democrats in the house can do?
Republicans stand behind Donald Trump with also calling the investigation a witch hunt and illegitimate.
And they can get away with that?
Sounds like the coup has concluded, and Donald trump is now King Dictator.
Someone please call Nancy Pelosi. Nancy can save all that paper used issuing subpoenas, and wall-paper the house chamber.
That would be kinda fun. Ignored unless house subpoenas plastered all over the walls of congress. Something for the tourist to read since the Whitehouse isn't reading any of them.
