to glare at his good buddies (inhibit the witnesses) at their testimonies. That would indeed fulfill his "executive privilege" to get the dope first and/or in a transparent way. Declining might add a count of obstruction. It would be an unpresidented event and in line with his obstructing in plain sight, no? Can you just see the Twit's tweets then. The imagination runs wild.

those who choose to ignore subpoenas the issue is moot. I'm getting tired of the do nothing Democrats who cower in the shadow of Trump and McConnell.

She's going to be accompanied by a WH lawyer. So, expect "executive privilege", and the 5th to be taken often. Every one of these grifters is into protecting some deep hidden secret. I know, I know that sounds a bit like an InfoWars "conspiracy" statement but something isn't right deep within the Rep party and those entrapped by the web of a money grubbing grifter as EW nailed tRUMP.
