posed to him. He's still a lawyer and has privilege obligations to the White House and the Presidency. The Dems will have to tailor their questions very narrowly if they expect an answer. And even then, we may not get what we want.

McGahn left after he got two people seated on the Supreme Court. He wasn't fired, and he accomplished his goals. He could very well say that he didn't witness any illegal activity. Most of the disagreements he had with Trump stem from the Mueller interviews (which was still affected by his privilege obligations). There's really no difference between getting McGahn to testify and getting a transcript of his Mueller interviews.

The House has the right to questions and subpoenas! Yet the courts are just not willing to do their job either! i can understand the bullshit stalling from the WH. BUT the courts seem to be playing RETHUG ball! Hate it!

and where his loyalties are, with the Constitution or the BillBarrBrigade. The courts are getting packed and a few litigation situations have already been affected like the Mike Flynn sentence being changed in the dark of night.

come due the day after the Elections if we take back the Oval or the Senate.

This is Billy the Traitor's mess,and what to watch for is a Blanket Amnesty by the newly elected President or the Majority Leader if the Dems take the Senate.

time and energy chasing Bush or Cheney's lawlessness. He wanted to move forward Knowing he would have one hell of a lift and would have to do most of it because of his Heritage.

This time,the Agencies Inspector Generals will act according to their Charters and Bi-Laws to clean up their back yards.
