House Democrats subpoena ex-White House staffers Hope Hicks and Annie Donaldson

House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., on Tuesday subpoenaed former White House officials Hope Hicks and Annie Donaldson to testify before his committee and provide documents related to a sweeping probe of figures in President Donald Trump’s orbit. Donaldson was chief of staff to former White House counsel Don McGahn, who on Tuesday defied the Judiciary panel’s subpoena to testify about special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe. Hicks is the former White House communications director. Both Hicks and Donaldson were ordered to produce the requested documents to the committee by June 4. Hicks’ subpoena sets a June 19 date for her to testify in a hearing before the Judiciary Committee, while Donaldson is asked to appear June 24 for a deposition.

A Trump ally billionaire should offer to pay the legal bills of all current former staffers facing House subpoenas. Call it the “Kangaroo Congress Fund.” If lawyers are paid for, people will feel better about just telling
Nadler and Cummings to go F themselves.

I believe that all these people being called have not only testified before Congress but also Mueller. So I’d say they are simply perjury traps. And I would take the 5th for every question.

Pretty soon they will be subpoenaing White House tour guides and their tourist customers.

Democrats are making themselves laughingstocks, pure cartoon characters.

The rats are shooting for a moral equivalency play. Hicks is no longer in government and does not have any access to documents. She’s a civilian and doesn’t have to show up.

All covered by privilege and separation of powers.

Nadler knows this, so it's all for the media show.

He can start with the 14mil taxpayer funded slush fund used to coverup sex abuse cases against the damn congress rats.

Release the names and amounts.

Huge effort to turn Trump into Dick Nixon and make it appear like Watergate. This is SOP every time a Republican President win an election. This crap is 50 years old.

This is more of the strategy to punish and bankrupt anyone who ever worked in a major position for the President. The strategy also discourages many others who might even consider working in the Administration. The Democrats have perverted the role of the House and are slowly destroying the very structure and function of government. If they continue their present course, the US will be irreparably harmed and they invite much more radical solutions to stop the Rat war on America.

They are purposely targeting WH staff who can claim executive privilege to testify. And they know they will defy subpoenas. Then they will claim they are obstructing justice and their only option is impeachment.

You mean like the FISA docs he has promised to declassify and release since last September?
