    4 Trump officials ignored Schiff for Brains 3 ring circus subpoena's. Why? Will they be held in contempt of Congress? Oh NOooooo Mr. Bill.........[​IMG]

    No idea. I guess time will tell. You have no idea either. As a matter of interest, who are those four you refer to?

    It only adds to the obstruction charges.

    You were right about the subpoenas, they were asked to testify but never showed. I read so much stuff and I'm 62 I get confused sometimes. If you want a good read on the Ukraine............

    There are time when we look at an explanation for an event and say to ourselves....."That doesn't make sense". Then there are other times where the pieces of the puzzle fit just right. In the article above it fits just right. Read it if you have time.

    Obstruction? It's called Executive Privilege.

    Executive privilege is the right of the president of the United States and other members of the executive branch to maintain confidential communications under certain circumstances within the executive branch and to resist some subpoenas and other oversight by the legislative and judicial branches of government in pursuit of particular information or personnel relating to those confidential communications.

    Remember Obama did this with the Fast & Furious gun running operation to the Mexican drug cartels where 300 Mexican citizens and 2 American Law Enforcement Agents died. Yea that one.

    Subpoenas were never issued for the 4 White House officials, they were just "asked" to testify. Try to keep up.

    Schiff says all the witnesses say otherwise. It comes from Schiff for Brains closed door star chamber transcript. We don't know how their words have been twisted out of context. It's why the hearings should have been held in the sunlight, not the star chamber.

    Most important thing to know about progressives is that. Everything they say it wrong.

    Ok I’ll ask again. Are any new subpoenas valid and legal now? They voted on impeachment.

    I am not a fan of Hannity's Solomon. I read your link and it is coached in terms I have become familiar with seeing in what Solomon writes. Very loose prose, and says enough tyo allow a biased mind to joint does which are given to them, but in fact, they are not connected. It is typically non-sequitor stuff.

    I still think its not a good look for the state department to hire/work with a clearly biased person like Trump's attorney. Maybe I'm naive in thinking that it should be impartial or they should atleast try to pretend they are anyhow

    Hannity’s Soloman? What an ignorant thing to say. Of course you don’t like actual reporting.

    Yes, Hannity's Solomon. Has Solomon not been a Guest of Hannity, and often quoted by Hannity? As for actual reporting.....the kind I like is where I get to see the horse's mouth moving, and I am no fan of the tabloid garbage of Hannity and the like.

    Are they at liberty to speak freely outside the star chamber? Or what they say must be OK'ed by Schiff for Brains.
