-- Pompeo says he's ignoring the House subpoena --

It's a fake subpoena. No court would enforce it. It's a letter that says "we hereby subpoena," which is as valid as me typing the same in a post to you. No court would enforce it.

Pelosi has to choose between bluster and House vote. If the House votes to initiate an impeachment investigation, THEN the House will validate its subpoena power, and can issue real subpoenas. Pompeo can force those to be litigated too, and you can bet that nearly ALL of what Pelosi seeks is properly in executive privilege and state secret.

I can imagine circumstances that would justify litigating this, but not a routine "congrats, lets root out corruption" call.

Pompeo should ask them “At this point what difference does it make?”
