The president isn’t exactly popular right now. But this attempt to humiliate him will scar everyone – including Republicans

The Department of Justice’s office of legal counsel opined: “The House of Representatives must expressly authorize a committee to conduct an impeachment investigation and to use compulsory process in that investigation before the committee may compel the production of documents or testimony in support of the House’s power of impeachment.”
Unfortunately for Trump and his allies, the opinion remains on the books and binds the present administration. As a result, the justice department and the White House will be able to smile as they stiff-arm House Republicans.
It beggars belief that the GOP has forgotten about this.
It seems like a schoolboy error.. But the truth of it is that kev didnt want a vote because he hadnt got the votes. It looks more and more a disaster for the GOP and those of us who would like clarity on the charges.
It doesnt seem worth the bother just to appease the crazies.
I am sure the legal experts on here will be able to straighten me out on this one.
