Nadler Threatens To Subpoena Bolton After Trump Impeachment Acquittal
Fox News ^ | January 4th, 2020 | Ronn Blitzer

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., warned Wednesday that investigations into President Trump's dealings with Ukraine may not end after the Senate's afternoon vote in the impeachment trial, and that he may issue a subpoena for former national security adviser John Bolton.

Bolton, who was said to have referred to dealings between the Trump administration and Ukraine as a "drug deal," received a request from House Democrats to testify during the impeachment inquiry. After the White House instructed him not to cooperate, however, House Democrats opted not to issue a subpoena and said the president's instruction -- based on an assertion of privilege -- was evidence that could be used to justify an obstruction of Congress charge. When asked if it was likely that his committee or others would subpoena Bolton, Nadler said, "Yeah," and indicated that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has given approval.

From what I have learned over the past month or so, the only way a subpoena can be issued is if it is approved by a vote of the House of Representatives.........

If Trump doesn’t do this, then almost without a doubt the Democrats will keep this crap up until our nation is driven into a 2nd Civil War.
In any other country, what the Democrats (along with partisans like Ciaramella, the Vindman Brothers, and others) would be recognized as an failed Attempted Coup and harshly prosecuted for Treason.
As I said earlier, my one complaint with President Trump is he allowed his goodwill to get in the way of tossing out the treasonous trash from the White House and Executive Branch on Day One and has passively tolerated leakers within the Executive Branch and White House even after being warned of specific individuals.
Had he let the heads roll from Day One, we would not be here today.

Does Jerry Nadler not understand the concept of “moot point” in regards to testimony or non-testimony at this stage of the game?

Sometimes, Jerry, there are no do-overs in life.

However, there are consequences that loom very large.

If they do more impeachment charges, the Senate should just dismiss them immediately pro forma in a single vote. End the farce, end the deliberate obstruction.

And he can do that...if they vote for another inquiry. The President will claim Executive Privilege, and the courts will most likely uphold the claim.

I think Trump is waiting after he is re-elected.

Then he may be renamed Don The Impaler.

Nadler Threatens To Subpoena Bolton After Trump Impeachment Acquittal

Anything charge Nadler might find regarding Bolton would violate double jeopardy.

Rip up the impeachment papers
That’s the spirit, but those papers are government documents belonging to the Senate.
(a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

(b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term “office” does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States.

Maybe he should just say that he has directed the Justice Department not to charge Nancy under 18 U.S. Code 2071. Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally
