What job did they refuse to do...? Go to court for years because of the president's stonewalling by tying witnesses and evidence up in the courts?
that's all bull crud.
When we already have precedence from the Supreme Court, witnesses and TAPES, like in the NIXON TAPES of his personal doings with his full administration, could NOT be held back from the impeachment inquirers on the basis of Executive privilege.... period.
Just think about it, there would be no reason for the Founders to even put impeachment in to the Constitution, if the President could legally stonewall the impeachment investigation for months or years by denying subpoenas and admin witnesses, and then tying it up in the court for months or years....to get the subpoena witnesses and evidence....
It would completely nullify the power given to the House on Impeachment....
They didn’t even send Bolton a subpoena.
Your excuses for them not doing their job isn’t working. They rushed it so they could go on vacation.
His assistant already had one wo was called to testify first, and took it to court, and bolton shared the same lawyer with him....
and remember, it was at the time of the impeachment, 10 months of the House trying to get Don Mcghan to testify on the Mueller report , trump obstruction of Justice.... and the president has fought it all the way, all the courts have ruled HE HAS TO TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS, and the president keeps appealing it, it is now up to the SC level and if they take the case....not certain if they have.... and if they do, it will be another 5 or 6 months.... and likely not to give a ruling till after the election so not to interfere with it...
the president's plan of STONEWALLING was and is working for him....
AND THAT IS NOT, what our Founders had in mind with the power of Impeachment given to the House.
The House already knew it would take years of court battles to get through all of Trump's obstruction, in to his own impeachment.... and impeachment is not something that one can wait a half a year or two.... sorry, I do not agree with you if you think it should....
