1. I like this bit:

Chairman Nadler: With all due respect, that is absolute nonsense as a matter of law.

[gratuitous]

2. Yeahbutwhatabout . . .

Hillary Clinton? She only appeared for 11 hours of live, open testimony before Trey Gowdy's committee (which also featured Mike Pompeo and Gym Jordan). Sure, she answered each and every question, even the stupid ones, didn't invoke some bogus immunity privilege that doesn't exist, and she didn't have a lawyer sitting right beside her, but come on! Hillary Clinton.

There! Hope Hicks is vindicated forever.

3. Did she invite the White House lawyers, or did they impose themselves

on her hearing?

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. I think they had various clients

She showed up with them, have no idea who the real owners are, and esp. who is paying them.

I do get the idea she is in same mess as the McGahn and the others, who have been threatened by Trump.
In any event, the game has to be played out....trump's bs reasons to stop them, the Committees having to go to court to counter his crap, etc.

7. Thanks for the info and I totally agree that it has to be played out...

..."perseverance furthers" as the ancient Chinese said ...

Given her dating history that we're aware of, tRump probably has Kompromat on her.

8. With McGahn, it was threats against the law firm McGahn was working for

I suspect bribery/intimidation/threats, whatever works.
But...as soon as there is a court ordered subpoena, the witness can fairly say their testimony is required. But treason weasel and Barr are making every inch of progress a battle.

4. Keep your powder dry

Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes.
It’s too soon.

Don Jr set the parameters of his testimony.
He set the time limits, he set the topics, he set the conditions. His testimony was a waste of time.
3..2..1 before “someone “ posts about how Dems kissing Jr’s ass will set well with the courts.

Impeach now. These legislative hearings are being abused by Trump/Barr, it is time for a judicial impeachment hearing that carries more clout with the courts.
