1. Reps like @RepAdamSchiff & top legal minds like @neal_katyal need to understand: What Trump is doing with delays, refusing to abide by subpoenas, refusing witnesses *has been his standard operating procedure for decades.* He learned it from Roy Cohn...

@RepAdamSchiff @neal_katyal 2...he is making ridiculous arguments and - although he is disturbed - probably knows they are ridiculous because this is what he has done constantly in every type of proceeding. It will not stop until people start getting locked up for inherent contempt. Examples....
@RepAdamSchiff @neal_katyal 3...take the famous housing discrimination case: Trump refused to comply with subpoenas, filed bogus challenges, ignored court orders, filed false affidavits, always reacted like any attempt to obtain information was outrageous.... 
@RepAdamSchiff @neal_katyal 4...Trump refused to answer written questions required and when a lawyer called to find out why, he said he wasn't going to.
Finally, a court ordered him to do a deposition, at which point he revealed: During the entire delay, he was destroying relevant documents....

@RepAdamSchiff @neal_katyal 5...Trump then impeded a court-ordered search of documents, filed false affidavits, and did everything he could to throw every possible blockade in front of the government. *He does not comply to orders, subpoenas etc, because there has never been a consequence for him.*....
@RepAdamSchiff @neal_katyal 6...he also perjures himself quite readily (see below), because there has also never been a consequence to him. *He is not scared of you, @RepAdamSchiff, because he knows he is going to ignore courts, ignore you, lie, & order people to cover up...

@RepAdamSchiff @neal_katyal 7...because that is what he does. He always does. This is not going to change.
This was not limited to the government housing case. Trump did the same thing in litigation all the time. He even lied that they did not have insurance on one deal to avoid a settlement, then only...

@RepAdamSchiff @neal_katyal 8...revealed it after the insurance was gone.
He even destroyed thousands of emails that were under subpoena. He lied under oath - TO CONGRESS - about his contacts with a native American tribe to discuss a business deal....

@RepAdamSchiff @neal_katyal 8...Trump lied about the existence of servers to stop discovery on their emails, which were then destroyed....
@RepAdamSchiff @neal_katyal 9...and once all the information was known, the court discovered: Trump had wiped clean the hard drives of relevant witnesses. Computers were tossed out. And all of them disappeared because Trump lied long enough to let them be destroyed....
@RepAdamSchiff @neal_katyal 10...this goes on & on. nothing is going to change now. If the Democrats @RepAdamSchiff don't pull out brass knuckles. if they think a court order is going to do anything, they are wrong. Trump might not be smart, but when it comes to obstruction, hes a genius. He *is* Roy Cohn.
