    The latter is about policy disputes and the former is about complying with the law.

    Then I refuse to recognize any warrants and subpoenas if I ever get any and I will use the president and his cronies as justification for such..

    That's what the dems and the MSM want you to believe. Straight up it's all about politics.

    Well, nope. The enforcement of subpoenas is a matter of legality, not politics.

    Make the formal vote instead of running this three ring circus, and you get all the cooperation you want until then they can get stuffed.

    Unlike Fake Don, Consigliere Rudy is getting competent, sound legal advice - and it's free!

    Subpoenas from a group of democratic politicians that have TDS is political. A blind man can see that. Same when Lois Lerner of the IRS began auditing conservative groups -- it could be called lawful but it was clearly political. One element that takes place over the law is morality and common sense. That's why we have judges, otherwise a computer could rule on each case and hand out penalties.

    You are welcome to hold that opinion. Don certainly does. But it doesn't change the legal standing the subpoenas have. Remember what Lindsey said..............

    Former members of the Trump administration are coming in every day even though Trump has ordered them not to.

    Don't even pretend you can read Trump's mind.

    I'm basing my claim on Trump's previous actions.

    Where has he ever complied with any Congressional oversight??

    The problem with this is that you're completely ignoring the problem of whether or not these letters being sent are actually subpoenas. I'm sure you've heard this argument before, but it bears repeating. Without a vote on the house floor, there is no formal impeachment inquiry. Without that formal impeachment inquiry, those letters are just that...

    letters.

    Committees are not the house of representatives. They have no power to issue subpoenas without a vote to instigate formal impeachment proceedings.

    Without that vote, I'm sorry but you'll just have to take this to court. I can guarantee that it'll go all the way to the supreme court if necessary, where you will lose.

    Winning the house was merely winning the weakest branch of the legislative branch. You'll lose it in 2020, and I think everybody knows that, as well as the executive which is going to the donald since all the democrats are nothings.

    We own the executive branch, the senate, and the judicial is... leaning in our favor.

    You've got a whole lot of nothing.

    Until quite recently most of it but then there was Mueller report and after weeks of Congress trying to beat that dead horse to death, Trump finally told them to eff off.

    But..........you realize he doesn't have the legal right to do that, right?
