Um, that’s not how it works, Dotard…
Arrest this dumbass.
Send out the Sergeant-at-Arms to pick the dude up. Do it today so that he can’t skip town. Can cool his heels in custody until the hearing.
Kline needs to get the Chelsea Manning here. Throw his ass in jail until he’s willing to abide by the subpoena.
So it’s total war then? It figures it would go this route eventually.
The choice now is to keep sending strongly worded letters or start having people arrested. I know what the GOP would do if the roles were reversed (not that a Democratic President would ever be so blatantly obstructionist as this).
This is not “strongly worded letters”, this was a subpoena
Haul his ass in. Enough is enough.
Hell, who knew oversight compliance could be so simple? Just say in a letter “dotard told me not to” and Bob’s your uncle!
I guess it’s “showdown” day… the IRS is supposed to have the tax documents today which they are not wanting to turn over. Interesting week.
Fuck that. Order the sergeant at arms to go get him. When people pull this shit on a court, the judge will issue a bench warrant faster than you can blink, and the police will go out and bring the motherfucker to the court to face that judge. Congress should be no different and there’s no reason we should have to wait for this dipshit to spend time in a jail cell while Faux News go ballistic pretending he’s a political prisoner.
We knew this lawless asswipe of a president would defy the subpoenas. The sad truth is, it’ll probably work. Dems are so terrified that they may appear mean, petty and/or partisan (you know, like republicans) that they willingly avoid holding criminals accountable; after all, we all now know that enforcing laws is purely political and amounts to nothing but a witch hunt.
Kline needs to be held in contempt, arrested and imprisoned until he testifies under oath.
STOP LETTING THESE CRIMINALS ABUSE THE LAW.
the fascistgop is determined to place the executive and judicial branches as opposed to and superior to the legislative (peoples) branch of government. roberts is on the hot seat because you know the other four reichwing justices on SCOTUS will back the unconstitutional power play.
Kline needs to find new counsel. This one seems more interested in protecting Trump than Kline.
Cummings needs to take the gloves off. Kline should be held in contempt, arrested, and imprisoned until he testifies.
The Trump playbook: obstruct and delay, obstruct and delay, obstruct and delay. Screw the Constitution and the rule of law.
Donnie will learn that congressional subpoenas are enforceable.
Barr’s DOJ “concurs” with White House demand to send their own legal goon in with national security clearance fixer and whistleblower bully subpoenaed to testify before Congress.
What a surprise.
Telling folks to commit crimes? Hmm.
Can Kline legally get away with this? I just heard a legal analyst on MSNBC say that the issue will be framed as he remains willing to testify IF he can bring White House counsel with him. Will that argument fly? (especially with Barr promising to support the WH position) I assumed a citizen can’t defy a subpoena, but I’m hearing conflicting views.
