WASHINGTON – A federal appeals court on Friday ruled that former White House counsel Don McGahn does not have to testify before the House Judiciary Committee in one of multiple, lingering investigations of President Donald Trump., the appeals court ruled that the Constitution forbids federal courts"from becoming an ombudsman" who resolves disputes between the executive and legislative branches of government.
that McGahn, a key figure with first-hand knowledge of Trump's alleged efforts to short-circuit the Mueller investigation, must testify before Congress. House general counsel Douglas Letter told the judges on the grand jury panel that the evidence could potentially lead to another impeachment.Megan Barbero, House associate general counsel, told the other panel that McGahn’s testimony could potentially lead to additional articles of impeachment for obstructing Mueller’s inquiry.U.S. District Court judges supported both subpoenas.
•In June 2017, Trump called McGahn at home and told him Mueller should be removed because he had conflicts of interest, according to the Mueller report. McGahn decided he would rather resign than carry out that order. He feared a repeat of the"Saturday Night Massacre," which happened when top Justice Department officials resigned rather than carry out former President Richard Nixon's order to fire the Watergate prosecutor.
Funny how libfarts crying when Law doesn’t go their way. Cry me a river and ala Frozen “let it gooooooo, let it gooooooooko”
And THATS why Impeachment Dems DID NOT pursue subpoenas in court you buffoons, cause they knew the outcome would be this as was stated all along. Hahahahahahahhahahhahahah-Justice served!
Judges may be more corrupt then political parties and repubs in senate.
DBChirpy then House should defund executive branch as their Constitution check on executive branch. Re-issue new subpoenas & IG failed compliance then jail them as is the Constitutional check on executive branch.
- STOP DIMISSING CASES AGAINST HIM - STOP ALLOWING BLATANT LYING BY HIM & HIS LAWYERS - STOP ALLOWING HIM TO CLAIM EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE OVER WITNESSES WHEN NONE EXISTS REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE PUT HIM IN JAIL SAVE DEMOCRACY BEFORE THERE'S NO ONE LEFT TO SAVE IT
🙌🙌🙌
So Trump should have been convicted on Impeachment Article II -- b/c this means courts CANNOT help Congress enforce subpoenas -- meaning if the Executive Branch ignores subpoenas then it is 'obstructing congress'.
Explain again the purpose of the judiciary? This is a devastating ruling. It destroys confidence in the judiciary branch of our government.
Womp Womp Libs. No obstruction of Congress!
What did you expect when the president controls the department of justice?
Goodbye Democracy -- Hello Kingdom! There are no more checks and balances. There is King and his Courts.
Huh
He is afraid
