Will the House ever get the chance to interview Don McGahn as a witness?

Reportedly, a judge is scheduled to make a ruling on January 3rd. His only appeal left is to the Supreme Court, is my understanding? Will they hear his case?

I think Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats would love to hear the testimony of Don McGahn. If he testifies to the same facts that he swore to the Special Counsel, then it would be incumbent upon the Democrats to file another Article of Impeachment. Don McGahn has always been the primary witness for obstruction of justice.

Depending on the speed of the decisions, this could very well happen. They can run but they can't hide forever.

McGahn is a partisan Republican - while he may admit to what he said to Mueller under oath, he may not be the friendliest of witnesses.

The idea of spending the rest of your life in Federal prison does not sound so appealing because Trump is forbidden the right to pardon, because he has been impeached according to Article II, Section II.

Don McGahn is screwed either way.
