    "The President would have us believe that he can willfully engage in criminal activity and prevent witnesses from testifying before Congress -- even if they did not actually work for him or his administration," the New York Democrat said. "If he were to prevail in this cover-up while the Judiciary Committee is considering whether to recommend articles of impeachment, he would upend the separation of powers as envisioned by our founders."

    Trump (once again) thumbing his nose at the Constitution (that he took an oath to uphold).

    Trump must REALLY have a lot to hide. :smh:

    Besides, if Trump is so "clean", then why is he trying to muzzle Corey?

    Thought?:flagus:

    Maybe Trump thinks he's a mob boss.

    1. "Mr. Hicks" has to simply confirm what Trump asked him to do, as recounted in full detail in the Mueller report. They don't need to dig as deep with this guy as they do with McGahn (eventually)
    2. Any interested voters from NH will clearly see what a complete slimeball this guy is, killing most hopes for public office, especially US Senator.
    3. These bogus attempts to prevent witnesses from appearing for subpoenas is fully impeachable as OOJ. I hope they include those as an article of impeachment. All Congressmen (and Senators) should understand that failing to appear for subpoenas is not supportable... Appearing and not answering some questions on grounds of ExecPriv is, of course, another story.
    4. When the McGahn lawsuit is settled in favor of the House, all these people will have to appear and answer 95% of the questions asked them...
    5. Jerry should start issuing subpoenas for administration people not even mentioned in the Mueller report or the SDNY Cohen papers, just to watch Trump add fuel to the fire...

    Congressional dems do not have a good record when it comes to integrity. Not cooperating with their nonsense is just a smart move.

    So what?

    Who cares?

    If you don't like Trump, you're free not to vote for him in the next election.

    Get back to me when he's impeached.

    Until then? Insert random emoji here.

    Really? Got any examples of Dem administrations ordering people who have never been government employees from testifying to Congress?

    I know billions and trillions is hyperbole, but do you have even one example?

    And the fact that you criticise CNN as the source - even when the story is based on the WH's own documents - show just how far you have swallowed Trump's "CNN is fake news" lie.

    We have a member on this forum telling us that Trump is trying to restore the Constitution, how is that when he ignores the 1st Amendment.

    Ridiculous.. its contempt of Congress, which used to mean something in this country..

    This administration is corrupt..

    The single act of an administration telling a witness who didnt work in the administration which questions they can and cannot answer is impeachable..

    It just is.. how can you support that?

    Declaring immunity for Lewdandowski is nothing more than an act of presidential corruption.

    He's a stupid fat ****.... What is even the claim against the Obama's there??

    Here's a(nother) blatantly moronic thing to say.... (yesterday)

    SNIP
    The president complained that the House panel "has given up on the Mueller report," which he inaccurately claimed cleared him of collusion and obstruction.
    ENDSNIP

    Uh, WHO is the primary witness today, Clown?? That's right, somebody prominently mentioned in the Mueller report.

    Obamski got his business deals AFTER he left the presidency. Trump is profiting from his business from tax payer money while he sits on the Oval Throne.

    Hey he had the entire cabinet and high level advisors crawl on their knees kidding his butt while mumbling how preveleged they were to serve him. I believe that Gen Mattis was the only one who did not apply the smacko to his butt.

    Obviously anyone who believes that the Trumpocity is "restoring" the Constitution does not appear to have a grasp on reality. Or is a hopeless fan of Our Dear Leader.

    They haven't testified before Congress. Since Trump can't be charged criminally, the proper place to investigate his conduct is through Congress.

    This is the most corrupt and least transparent administration in our lifetimes and you refuse to acknowledge it.

    Then why did you appoint mueller? What did Starr do? And yes Corey has.

    This has been the most investigated and transparent president. Totally cooperated with mueller and you all just can’t handle it

    I didn't appoint Mueller. A Republican in the Trump administration, confirmed by the Republican Senate, appointed him.

    Clinton was not charged criminally.

    Lewandowski has been subpoenaed. He has to go.

    Trump may have been the most investigated - with good reason - but there is no way you can seriously claim him to be the most transparent. Tax returns.
    And he didn't totally cooperate with Mueller. He was too scared to have a face-to-face interview. Again, with good reason, because he is unable to tell the truth.

    The short version of what's going on:


    After 3 years of full cooperation with witch hunts Trump says enough is enough, no more. Libs freak out.

    Boo ****ing hoo. Lol
