    Congress DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY to demand his legal team testify before them.
    That's what DOJ says.

    The immunity of the President’s immediate advisers from compelled congressional testimony on matters related to their official responsibilities has long been recognized and arises from the fundamental workings of the separation of powers.

    This immunity applies to former senior advisers such as the former White House Counsel.

    In 1957, the Supreme Court held in Watkins v. U.S. that a congressional information demand must relate to a “legitimate task of the Congress” and noted that Congress is not a “law enforcement agency” that can seek information to uncover or expose crimes.

    Indeed.

    There's also this:

    Attorney General Janet Reno explained, “subjecting a senior presidential advisor to the congressional subpoena power would be akin to requiring the President himself to appear before Congress on matters relating to the performance of his constitutionally assigned executive functions.” Assertion of Executive Privilege with Respect to Clemency Decision, 23 Op. O.L.C. 1, 5 (1999) (“Reno Opinion”).

    I can’t imagine their legal fees. I wouldn’t fight it. It’s not worth it for someone like Trump.

    That is the ultimate goal of the Party of the Jackass; if you can't find any criminal behavior, if the Mueller report was a flop, attempt to bankrupt anyone connected with this Presidency.

    Yep, you morons on the liberal left act like third world Fascists. Another very good reason to hand the Party of the Jackass a massive defeat in 2020.

    Imagine the sad state of our politics if BOTH parties acted out like this every time they lost elections. Of course, you lack the grey matter between your ears it would take to comprehend the OBVIOUS.

    Do you need a further explanation?

    This line is an instant classic, "Imagine the sad state of our politics if BOTH parties acted out like this every time they lost elections," seems "truthie" is in a state of denial with a selective memory

    First off, the Democrats have only been investigating for only five months now, seems we have to remind "truthie" again, Mueller was a Special Council appointed by a Trump nominee in a Trump Justice Department.

    Secondly, since 2009, the GOP and the right wing media working together have investigating and litigating anything and everything Obama/Hillary 24/7 for over a decade. If any precedent was been set, the icons you worship set it back in 2009

    "Imagine the sad state of our politics if BOTH parties acted out like this every time they lost elections," priceless

    There are no crimes. Dems are an empty well in a dry desert.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    He's is actually just another typical immoral, deplorable, Trump supporter, who is feeding off of Trump's corruption.

    The truth is, Truth Deflector knows that Donald Trump is a Corrupt President who is also a liar, cheater, racist, and crook- because he voted for him knowing that already, and for those specific reasons.

    These lost souls who voted for Donald Trump, and are still supporting him, wanted someone in the White House that best reflected their own flawed personal values, prejudices, human qualities, social behaviors, and personality disorders.

    They wanted someone much like themselves, and they hand-selected it!

    Much like Putin did!

    Don't ever expect these pond-scum to admit a thing!

    These ship-of-fools have decided to all go down with their captain!
