Three republicans comment on trump jr. subpoena....Rule of law? Bwhahahahaaa

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.): "Apparently the Republican chair of the Senate Intel Committee didn’t get the memo from the Majority Leader that this case was closed."


House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy: "@DonaldJTrumpJr has already spent dozens of hours testifying in front of Congressional committees. Endless investigations—by either party—won't change the fact that there was NO collusion. It's time to move on. It’s time to focus on ISSUES, not investigations."


Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.): "Weak & ridiculous for Senate to perpetuate the Russia Collusion Delusion by continuing to harass @DonaldJTrumpJr. They should NOT be taking orders from unhinged resistance Dems. Let's work together to help POTUS move US forward.


A source close to Don Jr. tells Swan:

Don is a private citizen, who has already been cleared by Mueller after a two-year investigation. He has done 8-9 hours of testimony in front of Senate Intel already and 27 hours of testimony in front of various committees in total.
When he originally agreed to testify in front of the Senate Intel Committee in 2017, there was an agreement between Don and the Committee that he would only have to come in and testify a single time as long as he was willing to stay for as long as they’d like, which Don did.
Don continues to cooperate by producing documents and is willing to answer written questions, but no lawyer would ever agree to allow their client to participate in what is an obvious P.R. stunt.

There is more 'there' here than there was 'there' there.

Or in words you might understand better--suck it up, buttercups.

Tillamook is good cheese. I never gave cheese much thought but there is a difference.

Jr. already got caught lying to Congress. Why does he get another chance to go before them and clean up his testimony? He should be indicted yesterday for perjury or lying to Congress or whatever it is called. Why is Cohen in jail for lying to Congress and Jr. is not?

And, whose state is now benefiting from the Russal aluminum deal? Why, yes. Yes, it is.

Ernie Slovak got the firing squad for less than what these motherfuckers are guilty of.
