The House Judiciary Committee issued subpoenas Thursday to former Trump campaign chairman Corey Lewandowski and ex-White House aide Rick Dearborn.
This guy looks like the poster child for fetal alcohol syndrome.
Assume the position, boyz!
That should help his senatorial chances in NH, especially if he refuses to appear. 
Marcy Wheeler today on Bill Barrâs âComply first, complain laterâ credo for interactions with die Polizei:
Bill Barr doesnât believe any average American should ask questions before complying with those empowered to force them to abide by the law.
But his view is entirely different when it comes to his boss complying with the only body â given the OLC memos Barr has reinforced â with the authority to police Executive branch abuses. Indeed, he has (unsurprisingly) refused to enforce contempt citations, and has instead fostered the kind of disrespect for the law he claims to believe in.
The White House is considering invoking executive privilege to block Lewandowskiâs testimony even though Lewandowski never worked for the Trump administration, CNN reported Thursday.
Might as well say heâs unavailable because he turned into a newt.
gosh. four months after the Mueller report details Lewandowskiâs involvement in Trumpâs efforts to essentially end the investigation into Russian military intelligence interference in our elections, Nadler finally manages to subpoena Lewandowski and Dearborn.
And schedules them for a public hearing that will either be cancelled because Lewandowski and Dearborn are no-shows, or will be a complete circus because of the â5 minute ruleâ.
This is a joke. This is not how you run an impeachment. You question the witnesses in private, then decide how and when they will testify in public.
Better and better.
given the ideas that underlie the concept of executive privilege, the assertion that a President can only make privilege claims for federal employees is debateable, at the very least. AFAIK, there are no Supreme Court precedents that establish that non-employee advisors are ineligible for executive privilege claims.
In other words, I fully expect that Trump will object to Lewandowskiâs testimony, based on some bizarro world version of executive privilege (like âimmunityâ) and that there will be no hearings. And it will take until November for Nadler to get around to even filing a civil suit to force compliance.
And given the slow-walk that Nadler is doing on Grand Jury materials, and his âend of the yearâ deadline, its pretty clear that weâre looking at kayfabe. Nadler ânegotiatedâ a schedule that prevents any oral arguments prior to Sept 30, and unless the court decides to issue a decision without a hearing, there wonât be a decision until mid October â and that is only the START of the process, because of appeals â the odds are overwhelming that the committee wonât even get the grand jury materials it needs before the end of the yearâŚ
Canât resist
Waitâthe Mueller report is still a thing? I thought Nadler and Pelosi had successfully managed to bury it because it offended Republicans?

Excellent. Now GRILL them until they cry.
I was going to say â'E got betterâ ⌠but no, no he hasnât.
How about a trial run on that whole impeachment process and just begin by going after Barr for starters? Thatâll make my day.
âHear, hear!!â
MANCHSTER, N.H. (AP) â President Donald Trump on Thursday threw his support behind his former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who is considering a run for Senate in his home state of New Hampshire.
Trump praised Lewandowski as âa very outstanding guyâ in an interview on the âNew Hampshire Todayâ radio show before an evening rally in the state. Trump said he thought Lewandowski would be hard to beat if he decides to challenge Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
âWell, first of all, I have to tell you that I think he would be fantastic. Heâs got great energy. Heâs terrific on television ⌠Heâs a really good guy,â Trump said in the interview. While he said he didnât think Lewandowski had made up his mind yet, Trump said that, âIf he ran, he would be a great senatorâ and âhard to beat.â
