Adam Schiff follows Trump's lead, attacks our democracy by hinting he will refuse subpoenas

[marvin martian]

He's not. He's highlighting the distinct possibility House Repubs will issue invalid subpoenas as part of their parade of petulance.

That was Trump's opinion regarding DemoKKKrats, too. You and Trump are EXACTLY alike.

The principle remains the same. See post #39.

not at all. apples and oranges.

Bash said, “We’re out of time but I have to ask. If you are subpoenaed by Republicans when they take over, will you comply?”

Schiff said, “We’ll have to consider the validity of the subpoena. I would certainly view my obligation, the administration’s obligation to follow the law and the fact that they have disrespected the law is not a precedent I would hope that would be broadly followed. We’ll have to look at the the legitimacy or lack of legitimacy of what they do.”

Schiff has no recourse but comply to a subpoena. The man is a serial liar.

Why? Just because he did?

No, it wasn't. Trump issued a blanket statement saying he would refuse to comply with any House subpoena before they were even issued.

Trump Vows Stonewall of ‘All’ House Subpoenas, Setting Up Fight Over Powers​

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration escalated its defiance of Congress on Wednesday, as the Justice Department refused to let an official testify on Capitol Hill and President Trump vowed to fight what he called a “ridiculous” subpoena ordering a former top aide to appear before lawmakers.

“We’re fighting all the subpoenas,” Mr. Trump told reporters outside the White House. “These aren’t, like, impartial people. The Democrats are trying to win 2020.”

Geez, by then...after all the witch hunts, it was painfully obvious the Shifty subpoenas were all invalid.

Your source was involved in the laptop cover up. It's not a legitimate news outlet.

You mean he can't avail himself of potential legal protections against invalid subpeoanas? Trump is the serial liar.

 

[marvin martian]

Sure he can, just like Trump did. I'm telling you, the three of you are EXACTLY alike.

 

[berg80]

That was April of 2019. The Dem's subpoenas were valid.

 

[berg80]

Sure he can, just like Trump did.

There was never any legal grounds for Trump stonewalling subpoenas. It was a delaying tactic.

I about bust a gut laughing when I read this.

All of them were invalid....Starr Chambers are invalid.

Of course there are legal grounds. Isn't that why Schiff is planning to do the same thing? You, he, and Trump are peas in a pod.

Nope sorry, by then we knew it was nothing more then a political witchhunt....nothing more

This is how a once great nation runs the government these days.
'Us against them' approach.

You spelled subpoena wrong.

Can you actually name one that was found to be invalid by the courts.
