John Roberts says that he thinks these cases (house v. prosecutor subpoenas) are "actually very different."

HERE'S WHAT I SAID LAST NIGHT!

Roberts says that there should be a *higher* standard (to ignore a subpoena) from a local prosecutor because there's no "ongoing relationship" with the President like Congress has.
He also literally suggested that Dems slow rolling Trump's nominees is somehow how Congress should (or is allowed to) respond to Trump's REFUSAL TO ANSWER A LAWFUL SUBPOENA.
Which, I just need to emphasize, is the dumbest freaking standard ever and has nothing to do with "ball and strikes" and everything to do with ABJECT COWARDICE on the part of Roberts... but I digress.
