    Default Ex-White House Aide Rob Porter Is Subpoenaed in ongoing House Impeachment Inquiry

    …..everything's moving along quite nicely


    Source: New York Times

    WASHINGTON — The House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed the former White House aide Rob Porter to testify about President Trump’s efforts to impede the Russia investigation, its chairman announced, the latest step in the panel’s expansive inquiry into whether to impeach Mr. Trump.

    Mr. Porter was a key witness to Mr. Trump’s repeated attempts to thwart the special counsel investigation, including the president’s efforts to get the former White House counsel Donald F. McGahn II to falsely deny a New York Times article that revealed his order to fire the special counsel.

    One of the highest-profile witnesses sought by the House, Mr. Porter is referenced many times throughout the Mueller report’s second volume, which focuses on obstruction of justice. Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, declined to determine whether Mr. Trump criminally obstructed justice but suggested in his report that others could use the evidence he gathered to make that call.

    “The committee intends to hold hearings and obtain testimony over the coming months as part of its efforts to hold the president accountable as we move forward with our investigation into obstruction, corruption and abuse of power by Trump and his associates,” the Judiciary Committee chairman, Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York, said in a statement.

    "When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."


    A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

    btw, I highly recommend the 'Bundyville" podcast...………...a deep dive into why the country is plagued with right wing conspiracy freaks and vehemently anti-government cretins

    chilling but a story every true American should hear

    For TRUMP or himself? Remember he likes to beat women. And wasn't he escorted off the premises for some kind of financial fraud? I think he was the one. Met him at his car took his credentials, no 'do not pass go, do not collect $200' and no you may not get a cardboad box and get your things. We'll show you off the property now. Remember that?

    How long have we been hearing this? And we both know the Senate will never vote to convict.

    Let the election take care of the problem.
