This notice is intended to fire up the populace, bigtime. Piss ‘em off but good.

A fellow called into Rush Tiffany and made a good point. They could call in Hunter or Joe or whoever and they could plead the fifth for every question like a Lois Lerner did. Nothing was gained.

Good.

Then when someone else outs them, they can rely on their testimony that they didn’t answer because they are guilty.

Great strategy.

You’re on notice, GOP. Fail to defend the President and you will go the way of the dodo bird. I swear to you I will work to destroy the GOP with everything I have.

This about as factual as DiFi saying she hasn’t made up
her mind about witnesses.

Here’s a better article about it (I can’t believe I’m saying that about something from cnn) - it’s the second story down.

Romney couldn't lead anyone with an IQ over 80 out of a burning house.

I will win the New York City marathon before that guy is ever the Senate majority leader.

If true, this is another example why Republicans are called the “stupid party”

Mark Levin said that there are 3 who want witnesses. Murkowski, Collins And Rino Romney. Did these 3 excuses for humans even Listen to the Defense of the President? Are they not aware that ONLY the HOUSE calls witnesses? It should be a Constitutional non-issue. If these 3 and anyone else votes against this President, then I will donate $$$ to their competitors campaigns, deservedly so.
