Second, Mulvaney’s defiance of the lawful subpoena may be viewed by Democrats as an act of obstruction of a congressional investigation, a felony under 18 USC 1505, and punishable by a maximum of five years in prison.his lawyer filed papers to join a lawsuit
brought by former White House deputy national security adviser Charles Kupperman, asking a federal judge to rule if a White House official must obey a congressional subpoena to testify in the impeachment inquiry despite Trump's order not to comply. If a federal judge ordered Mulvaney to testify, he could negate the impression that he volunteered to be a witness.
Eisenberg is in a similar pickle as Mulvaney because Vindman reported Trump’s July 25 telephone call with Zelenskiy to Eisenberg, the deputy White House counsel, and asked for an investigation. Vindman testified that Eisenberg instructed him not to discuss Trump’s telephone call with anyone and Eisenberg moved the call transcript to a top-secret server.the Ukraine scheme to Eisenberg. “[T]his is a direct quote from Ambassador Bolton.
Like Mulvaney, Eisenberg has defied a congressional subpoena to testify in the impeachment inquiry and, as a result, Republican strategists have the unchallenged ability to blame Eisenberg — personally — for suppressing information about the incident and attempting to gag Vindman from reporting to other officials. Unless Eisenberg testifies, his conduct will be defined solely by the public testimony of Vindman and Hill.
The strategy to blame the president’s aides in order to absolve the president himself isn’t a new one. In 1974, Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee argued that aides to President Richard Nixon engaged in the Watergate cover-up, while Nixon himself did nothing wrong. Only days before the Judiciary Committee approved three articles of impeachment, Rep. Trent Lott, R-Miss., argued: “The president had several aides that served him and this country poorly.

THINK It’s unfortunate that NBC is so illiterate when it comes to US law.
THINK AG Barr and Durham investigation coming out soon. We will see who is going to jail. The real investigation is wrapping up. Trump was elected to clean up the swamp. Americans didn’t realize that the news media was so intertwined with protecting the criminals. The Deeper State.
THINK Loyalty to what the only thing governing this country is the constitution not white supremacy. The constitution welcomes you, it's been around for over 200 years. How long has trump been around for?
MalcolmNance THINK The choice was made 4 years ago for all of them. Too late now!
THINK The Democratic Impeachment public hearing will move forward. And the public will be able to see, and compare Democratic evidence against Trump, with the evidence the GOP used to impeached Bill Clinton.The GOP's efforts to slow,or stop Trump's impeachment fail
THINK Stop NBC just Stop it
MalcolmNance THINK
THINK Your ignorance is showing again !
MalcolmNance THINK As it turns out the holding back of funds to Ukraine was totally illegal. But since when has trump cared about illegalities? I’m sickened by the way this new president of Ukraine has been treated by our own administration. A whole bunch of those trump “helpers” say bye-bye.
THINK 🙄
MalcolmNance THINK Also the deal that Rick Perry pressured Ukraine to sign a 50 yr contract with his biggest downer for the oil/gas digging. They went with a request to stop corruption in Ukraine No wonder he resigned. He will go to prison? Rachel Maddow 11/11/19.
THINK Now the prison is only for republicans and not the democrates who committed the crimes.
THINK he has brought everyone around him to a level of corruption and insanity never before seen except in the Mafia
MalcolmNance THINK The decision to sign an agreement between Ukraine and Russia (that trump ordered) should be invalid because of undo pressure in an emergency situation.
MalcolmNance THINK Not a choice at all. gop cowards
THINK Hmmm sounds familiar right gop? Didn’t learn anything from Nixon?
MalcolmNance THINK I’d say derision. They’d be betraying the Constitution by remaining loyal to this terrible human being.
venturagm THINK There’s no maybe.
MalcolmNance THINK Derision from a traitorous Russia loving con man vs betraying your country for said con man.
MalcolmNance THINK Or hope of a full pardon...
MalcolmNance THINK The 🇺🇸 leader has failed to acknowledge this information, which came from their own intelligence... CIA, FBI, etc 🙆🏽♀️sooo they haven’t learned from 2015, and subjected to another attack!
MalcolmNance THINK I have no sympathy. They should have quit long ago.
THINK
MalcolmNance THINK I like the prison part since we don't execute traitors in peace time.
MalcolmNance THINK But either way you going down.
THINK GOP strategy: Close ranks and support Trump at all costs even if the argument defies logic and common sense. Let’s see how this strategy plays out in 2020 election. Not well is my prediction.
Kimmiemac21 THINK Boy, thats a tough one! (given Trumps loyalty)
THINK “Opinion”.
THINK Fake News. Trump Derangement Syndrome. You are the minority.!
MalcolmNance THINK Just like his hair all fake. AmbNikkiHaley you are one sad Trump lab dog

MalcolmNance THINK How are people afraid of an orange, 70 yr old bully? He'll call them names? So what? They'll lose their jobs? His sycophants have lost their jobs (Bevins et al/). How is anyone possibly scared of him? impeachment ImpeachTrump ImpeachAndRemove
THINK How do you even print a headline like that stating that they may face prison. The most secretive and corrupt admin was obama and killary and you attack this admin with several accusations that have all been proven false. You continue to prove tou are enemy to this nation
THINK Living in their balloon world, not wanting to see the good our President has done. What a horrible headline and so far from the truth.
THINK But don't they understand that the large majority of Americans would thank them and treat them (somewhat) like heroes if they betrayed trump and spoke the truth! So they are afraid of a small majority's derision?
THINK Or honor their oath of office?
THINK No one is going to prison because of Schiff's scam.
