Wolf’s office claimed it would be improper for him to appear while his nomination by President Trump was still pending before the Senate.
Instead, a DHS spokesperson said, the department offered several other lower-ranking officials to testify, including Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli, but Democrats refused. Thompson argued that Wolf should be compelled to testify even though he’s an “acting” chief because the department has been “without a Senate-confirmed Secretary for 17 months.”Rep. Mike Rogers , the top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, acknowledged he was"disappointed" Wolf did not show up Thursday. But he criticized Democrats for not accepting a lower-ranking official instead, calling it a “political stunt.
Just another Trumpski avoiding showing his ineptness.
Unless you can enforce the subpoena, its just an invitation
folks do this all the time and nothing happens ! fuck the Congress for not jailing their stupid asses !
Congress has totally lost their power of checks & balance.
Law and order.
Tired of realDonaldTrump and the TrumpAdministration thinking they are above the law. VoteTrumpOUT2020
If I defied a subpoena, I’d be arrested. Let’s go get him.
Why go and get yelled at by unhinged people that have fire in their veins just so Forbes can write an article about how Wolf got embarrassed? He isn’t playing the game.
What’s new🤨
'Law and Order' (except for us)
Good
Good for him. It would be a waste of time just like Barr’s was. He wouldn’t have to testify, there wouldn’t be a hearing, it would just be dems trying to get sound bites for ads. “I’m reclaiming my time”
Has the position illegally
