Frankly to me it doesnt make any sense for the Whitehouse to try and prevent her from giving testimony because she was not in on Trumps inner circle so I doubt she knows anything that would incriminate him or atleast not anything that the Repugnants would remove him from office for and it would take a hell of alot for them to decide to get off their butts and impeach him since having him as president is useful for them.

This and his suggestive tweet about her, intimidation.

Now if we could only find someone to prosecute that charge.

pissed on their own shoes. Watch for a major blow-up on this,will the Media get involved,not. The evening News Cycle will tells us which way the Press is going to cover this Witness Tampering Story. Remember,Nixon turned his Dogs loose when the first Hearings started. Seeing the same script and many of the same Dogs a play here.

Now I avoid that person.

In my family, we call them meltdowns. The meltdown builds, the person tries to sow dissent, create chaos, spread that chaos, then it subsides. Everyone with any sense gets out of the way.

One does not analyze and talk those incidents to death. One gets out of the way, or finds a way to contain them. Someone will have to figure out that that is how to deal with trump.

An innocent man would want his story told.

This is only the last instance of obfuscation. Devin Nunes' bizarre behavior, coupled with Jason Chaffetz's bizarre behavior, seem directly connected to the WH.

LOCK. HIM. UP.

The truth takes care of itself, and wants to be known.

Lies are very high maintenance!

And with a mind as sharp and crystal clear as *Rump's, we know how that will all work out!

And oddly enough.... don't the Russian's have an old saying:

"Hope dies last"

They are still consolidating power. Give it time and this will work and nothing they do will be investigated.

He is the Teflon Don, nothing sticks to him. If this had been Hillary or Obama there would have been 20 hearings and 2 impeachments.
