President Donald Trump tweeted Tuesday that people were "reading far too much" into a federal judge's ruling Monday that former White House counsel Don McGahn must obey a congressional subpoena and testify before the House Judiciary Committee a ruling that could also have implications on a host of Trump administration aides and officials who refused to testify before the House impeachment inquiry.
"The D.C. Wolves and Fake News Media are reading far too much into people being forced by Courts to testify before Congress," Trump wrote. "I am fighting for future Presidents and the Office of the President. Other than that, I would actually like people to testify."
The president added that his former national security adviser John Bolton, who said he would not testify before impeachment investigators until a similar lawsuit involving his deputy has played out, "is a patriot and may know" Trump did not do anything wrong by withholding $400 million in military aid to Ukraine at the same time he was pushing for the country to investigate the Bidens and Democrats.
"Likewise, I would love to have Mike Pompeo, Rick Perry, Mick Mulvaney and many others testify about the phony Impeachment Hoax," Trump wrote. "It is a Democrat Scam that is going nowhere but, future Presidents should in no way be compromised. What has happened to me should never happen to another President!"

(82,849 posts)Could you point us all to the sections you think people are reading too much into, since you've obviously read and analyzed the entire opinion?

(1,648 posts)Rebut and state their defense about everything thus far. In fact, I'm sure Fux Newz would be glad to put up enormous time for them all to do so. And they should not forget, all they all have to do is go to the hearing and testify their defense claims, because republican enablers would be glad to tee them up for strong defense.
Those who cower away from the deeds they have done, use gimmicks to claim injustice. They all know that the law is more than happy to let them all off of any misunderstanding they find themselves involved with. So tRump and the republican party can show history whether they are the new Benedict Arnold or not. And tRump might want to talk to OJ about how a not guilty of the obvious verdict plays out. All of tRump's enablers will find that their get out of jail free card ends when their clown car stops. What are is their plan then?
The next thought... Is tRump's Russian fraud just the tip of an iceberg for another republican fraud? Is that why they all drop and shove their heads up tRump's ass instead of being reasonable?

(9,107 posts)Let's hear them tell their story, not that they will make any attempt to have it be believable.
The only other repug fraud scenario I can come up with is they're all tied into Russian money donated to them, and know it. Do you have something else in mind?

(1,648 posts)tRump has gone against long standing republican dogma to be tough on everything Russia touches, yet they are now doing everything in their power to enable tRump to blow up years worth of their die accomplishment. Why? They all know tRump is a fraud that they could do without and many have made past statements about it. So why are they protecting tRump and allowing Russia to dictate foreign policy for the United States? The only explanation is that they are covering up something bigger, which is much worse for them.

(9,107 posts)They didn't all get bought in the few intervening years, but a lot of them act like it.

(1,648 posts)To stain the entire party, especially if the Russian republicans had access to secret evidence about other republicans. A scandal so 'bigly' that the republican party would collapse and become a known toxic poison for even the MAGA neanderthals in the U.S.
Because they all act like they are in a life and death struggle for tRump to save themselves.

(9,107 posts)Russian intel is also capable of getting dirt on repugs via research, without even having been the actor who compromised the repug pols.
The repugs are in trouble re trying to save themselves, stay tied to tRump and go down for it, or turn against him and get attacked by the nazi base and go down, or turn against him and find the public still says repugs=tRump, and go down.
They deserve to go down, unless they come out forcefully and say they hate tRump repuglinazis and want them kicked out of office and jailed.
