3. I'm shocked!

[Baitball Blogger]

4. Why is it so hard to sort this out in the courts?

Ex-presidents DO NOT have executive privilege. And why should we wait to find out? The Committee should use its own understanding of the law.

8. Wish I knew

Sick of this shit

[Effete Snob]

16. "Ex-presidents DO NOT have executive privilege"

Do ex-Catholics maintain privilege in their confessions to a priest?

Do ex-clients of a lawyer maintain privilege in their communications with counsel?

We might want to wait to find out because simply declaring a legal proposition doesn't make it so.

7. This is their strategy to run out the clock.

And they're getting away with it. If they can bog down the process well into next year, it becomes a campaign issue to energize their base for the midterms.

[CrispyQ]

14. +1 -- They will energize their base, & demoralize ours.

And we can't afford to lose one chamber. Traditionally, dems don't turn out well for midterms. 2018 was an exception.

10. He doesn't get to make up his own law.

Enough of this crap. Send the friggin marshals and frogmarch these clowns in.

11. Getting solid advice from Steve Bannon.

12. Expected this, but I have another question,

The Appeals court will rule on Nov. 30th and I expect a favorable ruling, turn over the documents. So without a doubt Trump appeals to the Supreme Court. What happens to the "stay." The DC court rules turn over the documents but Trump appeals to the SC, does the SC issue a stay until the gods know when they will issue a decision? Does the SC meet over Christmas?

Let's also not forget an important fact, Steve Bannon was low hanging fruit, not a part of Trump's administration. So will former members of Trump's administration who are subpoenaed have a different argument than Bannon? Will we have to go through this mess again with former Trump administration people? If so, may as well watch Steve Kornacki and pray.

13. Meadows

Unless the House decides to use its own “inherent contempt” authority, nothing at all will happen.

15. Coward/traitor

and he knows it his heart, if he has one

17. If rules/laws are not enforced, they don't exist. n/t

[ananda]

18. If anyone here is surprised, I'll eat my bridge cards today.

Subpoenas really have to be enforced with these Trumper
asshats.

[Poiuyt]

19. That's funny

But isn't trump a bridge term?

[ananda]

33. My favorite bid is Notrump.

[LuckyCharms]

20. I just had a great idea!

Instead of looking for ways to weasel out of testifying, how about instead, these assholes willingly appear in front of Congress and answer their questions?

You know, like Secretary Clinton did for 11 hours.

[gab13by13]

22. Exactly,

Eric Holder appeared before Congress voluntarily 9 times over Fast and Furious, a political stunt.

[gab13by13]

23. I'm so messed up with this shit,

I'm mixing up a request for documents with Steve Bannon. I need a break, too cold to golf.

[spanone]

24. If we can't get bannon, we can't get anybody.

[malaise]

26. I still think we'll get Bannon

[Me.]

25. Why Would He

The DOJ doesn't seem to think subpoenas are important , si why should he?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

29. MSNBC found a clip of Mark Meadows complaining about subpoenas being ignored
