White House directs former Trump aide to not comply with Democrats' subpoena

The White House has directed two former senior West Wing officials not to cooperate with House Judiciary Committee subpoenas for documents in the panel's investigation into potential obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump, the committee chairman, Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said on Tuesday.

"Federal law makes clear that the documents we requested—documents that left the White House months ago—are no longer covered by executive privilege, if they ever were," he said in a statement."The President has no lawful basis for preventing these witnesses from complying with our request," he said.

Instead, they're planning a series of hearings on the Mueller report -- without Mueller but with John Dean. "We have a number of different witnesses that we are still fighting with the White House about getting, and they are still obstructing justice," Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., a member of the committee, told ABC News."In the meantime, we have an incredible knowledge base of former prosecutors, people who have lived through impeachment."

Feels like jail time is in order.

When is Nadler going to hold hillary in contempt. She still has not complied.

If they get arrested, Trump will just pardon them. So the house really has no threatening power.

Why would they? They already know that absolutely NOTHING will happen.

What are the even investigating anymore?

Obstruction of justice.

GOOD!!!!! Enough Of This Insane Madness. Get Back To Work For America!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

realDonaldTrump Ok. Negativity at its “Piqué”.

i think the wh should all be held in contempt for telling these people to disobey a law i mean what are you all telling america . how can you say you love america yet do this

Those in contempt should have to wait in jail until the courts sort it out. What are you waiting for JerryNadler?

Not gonna work, we all know how the dumbocrats are. They are all making their party look like assholes dumb ones at that

Well now he will have to go on CNN swamp channel and cry

Demoretards!

Then lock them up. Enough is enough. And the GOP SenateGOP HouseGOP is looking more and more guilty as they remain silent on this topic. GUILTY Collaborators Lock them up.

So much for Trump being the most transparent President ever. Doesn't the GOP keep telling us how Trump cooperates with investigations? Guess it doesn't count if it's him they are investigating. 🤔

The White House keeps pushing you and the rest of House Democrats around like the bullies they are. What are you going to do about it Chairman RepJerryNadler?

RepJerryNadler Y’all

Lock them up for contempt! NOW!

Hey Nadler - pull up your pants. What a goofball.

Why? What are they hiding?

Dear John by the time you read this letter I’ll be gone!

I think Nadler looks like Boris Badenoff

Wakey Wakey Wake 🇺🇸TrumpTrash TrumpCriminalInvestigations EPSTEINSisland DitchMitch2020

Obstruction?

Why don't you subpoena Muller

This is not acceptable they don’t have a choice!!!! Throw them in jail for contempt period!!!!!! Enforce the laws against those who do not comply!!!!

Oversight is a joke. Zero power! The playbook on how to deal with them has now been written.

Just sick of the whole thing. Who cares? The Democrats are losing time working on focusing on replacing Trump in 2020. The Dems are disorganized. The Republicans will win the next election if more isn't done to replace Trump.

Guilty people hate to comply with subpoenas!

The same John Dean who obstructed justice served 4 months in prison and was disbarred? WOW! WHAT A JOKE!

John Dean will say anything. Never ending Harassment by Dems and media.

Lock them up. Seriously, stop playing around.
