    Sure, it does. McGahn has already told Trump no several times. He will tell Trump no on this as well.

    Well, he sure hasn't so far....

    SNIP
    "As with the subpoena for documents, Mr. McGahn again finds himself facing contradictory instructions from two co-equal branches of government," McGahn's attorney William A. Burck said in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler. He added later, "Under these circumstances, and also conscious of the duties he, as an attorney, owes to his former client, Mr. McGahn must decline to appear at the hearing tomorrow."

    Oh so the President has the power to overrule the courts now? Good to know.

    The judge was absolutely right: it's ridiculous to think Congress has the power to impeach a president, but not the power to investigate one. We all knew Trump would lose this court battle.

    What do you really hope to learn from Trump’s financial documents... that’s her been bankrupt a number of times? That he pId little in taxes? Perhaps it’ll show he’ dealt with Russian bankers or businessmen?

    Would any of this make any difference?

    Not a whole lot, my friend. Trump will be re-elected. It’s a done deal. It’s in the bag.

    Are you sure he wants to win this court battle? Perhaps, just let it play out for say... 3 years :)

    Why do you not object to a criminal being in the WH?

    This is like a pressure cooker where the heat is being slowly increased. Who wants to be around when it blows?

    This guy made the most simplistic argument in his ruling imaginable. He claims that so long as the Court can see a legislative function(regardless of whether there actually is one or not), the Court is not inclined to question the motives of the legislative branch.

    This, while he cites that Congress cannot inquire into anything that is of a non-legislative nature. But if this Court cannot examine that for the record, how will it enforce that requirement on legislative nature? It can't! In his own words, the Court forbade itself from doing so.

    In other words, Congress can access anyone's tax records, insofar as they give the most flimsy 'legislative' argument for it, and the Court will not, cannot review it.

    And they don't have to give ANY reason for it.... Not the way the law is written anyway....

    Apparently, those Mnuchin Coke Bottle glasses are just for his non-stop sex appeal... they don't seem to aid his reading ability...
