He denied every subpoena, refused every witness, produced zero documents, hid transcripts in secret servers.

What the hell is wrong with Romney that he didn't vote against that too?

by a vote of the whole House. That was not true because they were authorized by the House rules. They also argued that they did not go to court to get rulings on the subpoenas, even though Trump was blocking everything and it would have taken for ever.
