#BREAKING: Democrats subpoena the White House less than 24 hours after Republicans objected to partisan subpoena.
By issuing this subpoena, @RepCummings has violated our bipartisan agreement about subpoenas, trampled long-held minority rights in the House of Representatives, and proven the partisan nature of his inquiry.
In January, @RepCummings promised that Members would have an opportunity to vote on “the most important work they will do.” By denying us a chance to vote on subpoenas for the Democrats’ so-called impeachment inquiry, Chairman Cummings is violating his promise to the Committee.

A note on #impeachment -

In a court of law, under non-presidential circumstances, impeachment is a tool litigation attorneys use to discredit the opposing side's witnesses at trial. When said witness takes the stand under oath attys. present evidence contrary to what the witness
claims. This weakens the other side's case by discrediting impeached witnesses's testimony. Once a witness has been impeached - by presentment of inconsistent testimony - the judge/jury can no longer use the impeached witnesses's testimony in reaching a verdict.
Simply put, they aren't trustworthy. In the case of Presidential impeachment that broad definition of impeachment applies, but the impeachment tool is used for a very different purpose. Under the Constitution, a sitting President cannot be tried in a court of law for anything.

#Breaking Comme on l'expliquait hier dans ce #thread (,),#Trump pense avoir gagné le match retour du #Watergate et sorti la présidence de tout impératif de contrôle. La preuve: il bloquera tout témoignage de collaborateur au Congrès. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
2) Dans cette interview publiée par le @washingtonpost cette nuit, #Trump explique qu'il s'opposera aux témoignages de ses collaborateurs au Congrès car il les a déjà laissés parler à #Mueller et que, selon lui, celui-ci l'a complètement exonéré. Pas la peine de recommencer donc.
3) #Trump veut ainsi empêcher son ex-avocat de la Maison Blanche McGahn, son ex-responsable de délivrance des accréditations de sécurité Kline de témoigner au Congrès et refuse aussi que le ministère du Trésor y communique ses feuilles d'impôt. washingtonpost.com/business/econo…
