Read the White House letter on not participating in the House impeachment hearing

WASHINGTON (AP) — A senior Trump administration official said the White House will not participate in the House Judiciary Committee's next impeachment hearing.

The decision came Friday in a letter from White House counsel Pat Cipollone.

The letter addressed to the Democratic chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Jerrold Nadler, did not expressly state the White House's refusal to participate. But a senior administration official said after the two-paragraph letter was released that that was the point it was intended to communicate.

In the letter, Cipollone accuses House Democrats leading the inquiry of wasting America's time.
In the letter, Cipollone accuses House Democrats leading the inquiry of wasting America's time "with this charade" and that adopting articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump would amount to a "reckless abuse of power."

"Whatever course you choose, as the President has recently stated: 'if you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair trial in the Senate, and so that our country can get back to business,'" Cipollone, citing a tweet from Trump this week.


[Letter in the link provided. It exceedingly galls one who has cognitive function to attempt to wrap their intellect around what this farcical version of a senior admin. 'official', that is, has worded in a missive. No embarrassment? Evidently not. What he issues forth is in actuality very descriptive of the repub workers of iniquity.]

What. Did I just preach to our choir? 😌
