This is interesting, too. Apparently there are some law suits that the progressives think would cause unwelcome precedents. Carefully picking and choosing their wars.

“There is no proper basis for a witness to sue the Congress in court to oppose a duly authorized congressional subpoena,” the official said.....

what is duly authorized? that is the question.What i the scope of the impeachment inquiry? No limits? What about probable cause a crime has been committed?

House Democrats Suddenly Drop Subpoena For Ex-Bolton Aide Who Asked Court To Decide If He Should Testify

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And this is AFTER the Dems publicly abused him. They portrayed him variously - one article manipulated the text to half-way suggest he was suing Trump for the right to testify (as if he had “the goods” on Trump).

He said he was caught between the Executive Branch’s directive not to testify and the Judiciary’s subpoena so he asked a judge - for this I believe it was Adam Schiff who said his lawsuit was “baseless” and only brought the interpretation that he was fighting to cover up for Trump. *smh*
