No Cooperation: WH Calls Current Impeachment Inquiry "Illegitimate and Unconstitutional"

Drudge headliner is a bit crude, but accurately conveys the spirit of White House's letter to Nancy Pelosi and chairmen of several House committees, including Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler.
Trump administration officials called the letter, which was written by White House counsel Pat Cipollone, perhaps the most historic letter the White House has sent.

And what a beauty it is!
White House letter concluded: "The president has a country to lead. The American people elected him to do this job, and he remains focused on fulfilling his promises to the American people."

Love. This. Letter.
White House Letter Shames Nancy Pelosi

This letter will forever besmirch the House Speakership of Nancy Pelosi. It lays out in detail how recklessly delinquent she has been in carrying out her constitutional duties, and how she has flouted the Rule of Law.
Basically, the White House Counsel's letter to Nancy Pelosi has driven a stake through this so-called "impeachment inquiry" vampire squid.

Can't Get This Out of My Head

I was driving earlier today and ended up listening to a fascinating interview of Megan Phelps-Roper, author of the book "Unfollow: A Memoir of Loving and Leaving the Westboro Baptist Church," on NPR. 1/
Megan spoke eloquently about how she ended up struggling with her religious convictions after exchanging a dialogue with a thoughtful person on Twitter about theology. The entire interview was respectful, thoughtful, illuminating and intelligent. 2/
But, I can't get over the WARNING delivered by the interviewer to the listeners of NPR at the start of the interview. He said (paraphrasing), "Due to the content and strong language in the program, people with young children in the room should switch to another station now." 3/

1. Modern Progressivism Has No Clothes

My favorite NY Times columnist (yes, I have one) Bari Weiss has thrown insightful light on pretensions of modern progressivism in an article titled, "The World’s Wokest Sports League Bows to China."
2. Let's recap what happened. Friday evening, Daryl Morey, the general manager of the Houston Rockets, put out a tweet expressing support for Hong Kong’s democracy movement: “Fight for freedom. Stand with Hong Kong.” He has since deleted that tweet and apologized.
3. You might assume that the wokest professional sports league — NBA is after all a business that pulled its all-star game out of Charlotte, N.C., in 2017 because of that state’s anti-transgender bathroom bill — would see human rights as core virtues. But you would be wrong.

No wonder Hillary has been carefully laying the ground work to explain her loss in 2020. Someone check if she has copyrighted the book title, "What Happened -- Again!"
Hillary's 3-Step Plan for 2020:
1. Co-opt Democratic front-runner as VP running mate by covertly promising to resign on first day in office
2. After winning the nomination, have her running mate moved to commit suicide in a public park
3. Keep Bill Clinton ready w/ tearful eulogy
Don't say I didn't anticipate this. I said this a week ago.

West Wing Reports
@WestWingReport
Washington reporters - focused on what's happening inside the Beltway and wondering what Trump and Congress will do about guns (not much) are missing a bigger story: underlying demographic, consumer and investment trends that are hammering the gun undustry. Here's a WWR thread:
2) Even as U.S. stocks (which have generally soared since March 2009) trade near all-time highs, one industry has taken it on the chin in the Trump era: gun manufacturers.
3) The day before Trump was elected, American Outdoor Brands Corp. ($AOBC) (until 2016 known as Smith & Wesson) traded for $28.17 a share. Friday, shares were fetching $8.64, a plunge of 69%. Sturm, Ruger & Company ($RGR) has fallen 20% over the same period

It's time I had my say about #Impeachment, DJT's obstructionistic tactics, and @SpeakerPelosi's not pushing for an inquiry yet.

When AG Barr released the redacted version of the report to Congress, he did *not* include any of the underlying documents on which Mueller relied.

1/
Just like a lawsuit, a case has to be built based on facts and evidence. Both the Intelligence Committee and the Judiciary Committee have been working their way through the system, including voting to hold AG Barr in Contempt of Congress. DJT has been fighting them in court.

2/
Meanwhile, the Ways and Means Committee has also been working on getting DJT's tax returns. One of the Committees has also been working on getting records subpoenaed from DJT's financial management firm and from Deutche Bank, known for Russian money laundering.

WH letter to Nadler is mixes some cognizable legal interests in non-disclosure with absurd, constitutionally-unsupportable assertions against oversight. Mostly it illustrates why a formal impeachment inquiry is needed to sidestep these specious arguments. politico.com/f/?id=0000016a…
For example, the White House claim because Congress cannot legislate pardons which are constitutionally committed to President, it therefore cannot demonstrate any legislative purpose in requesting information about Trump's offers and use of pardons.
There's problems with that argument on its face, but Congress can avoid needing to engage with the argument at all by saying "We are considering impeaching the president for his abuse of pardons" which forms the clearly valid legislative purpose.
