White House senior aide Stephen Miller, a powerful immigration policy adviser, will not testify before the House Oversight Committee, the Trump administration said in a letter Tuesday., signed by White House counsel Pat Cipollone, said the refusal to appear before the Democratic-led committee follows "long-standing precedent" for White House staffers of both parties and adheres to constitutional law.
In its response, the White House argued that Cabinet members and agency leaders have testified regularly before Congress and would continue to do so, but that Miller's testimony was not warranted. "We welcome the opportunity to discuss the administration's immigration policy priorities," Cipollone wrote.
Maybe if the committee holds it’s hearings after sunset, Miller could make it.
But nothing to hide?!
Gollum won’t testify- What asuprise ImmigrationMatters
Chickenshit
Miller testifying before congress would be on of the all time ROFL moments...
If he ignores a subpoena, Throw him in the slammer. Same with the rest who defy the law.
Why..he's got something to hide or don't have concise to tell the truth..
Why! It’s a total waste of time!
just make sure he has an umbrella when he is outside.... don’t know if he is a daylighter
Order him to show up or held in contempt. If he lies held him for perjury
Subpoena him, and his Merkin
Eric holder?
Play it like Eric Holder.... The dem's wrote the playbook they are screaming against now.
I understand he will die in the sunlight
That would be frightening for him-answering questions in the light, not hidden in the shadows, which is how he likes to operate.
What’s Miller afraid of? What or how much does he have to hide?
Good. He isn't capable of interpreting reality anyway.
Can't get Grimma Wormtongue to step into the light, he? I hear the threat of jail time for contempt works pretty well!
Subpoena, followed by Contempt Of Congress, followed by Arrest, followed by Incarceration. StevenMiller won't last long without the apartment his daddy bought him.
Good. Keep him chained in the basement.
Hold him in contempt! Trump loves legal battles especially when he doesn't have to pay fir it.
Lock him up for contempt! Just do it. Ask Nike. It works!
Subpoena
Weasel.
Subpoena him right away!
Such a chicken. He would rather pull trump’s strings from behind a curtain than stand in front of America and defend his racist positions. No morals, no ethics, no credibility ...
Not sure what he’s concerned about, to my knowledge there are no windows in those rooms to let in the sunlight.
Well then we should bring the house down on him.
Stephen Miller is unable to go out during daylight hours.
Executive privilege, he doesn't have to do anything, never has to testify, and most people could give a shite less. Dems wasting our time and dollars as always.
Subpoena him and if he still refuses lock him up!
Lock him up!
Cut off his paycheck!
Miller should be held in contempt of Congress. Send the samrgent at arms to the White House and drag him to the committee or jail.
Surprise? Of course not. It's common that criminals don't like to testify, especially not under oath. Who enjoy talking about your misbehavior publicly? That's how you identify criminal behavior.
He's afraid they'll ask questions about Trump's conduct. Anything to protect the idiot-in-chief.
I say subpoena the little kremlin
The greatest trick Miller ever pulled was to make us believe he didn’t exist
He’d lie like his Master does anyway 🤷🏼♀️ so why bother?
Pathetic little 👨
Get that bastard enough
That Nazi weasel must be forced to.
Miller = trumpsgoebbels
I hope he gets fined big time and thrown in jail.
He dosent have to. JerryNadler is a scumbag, who wants to testify in front of that weasel.
Because he will perger himself.
Best news of the day
Lock him up. Send him to the chair! 2,000 volts!
Put him on the list.
There is no such thing as won't.
realDonaldTrump doesn’t want Miller to testify because he’s insanely hateful. If you’ve ever seen Miller on TV (it’s very rare), his bigotry for those not like him is very obvious. The white supremist perspective that fuels WH immigration policy can’t be defended publicly.
He said no...and then what happens?
Why not? Get him or jail him for contempt of Congress. Play hard ball. Cmon.
Can’t be held accountable. Clearly the typical response for hate groups
Who is Steven Miller and why is the POTUS listening to him?
Thank God, we can put away the garlic & wooden stakes
He does not dare, because I think all the allegations are true!
Silence speaks rather loudly......
Arrest him
Subpoena him. If he refuses, arrest him. He’s 50% of the reason those country is bad, the other 50% is trump and his cronies. That’s how bad this mess is!
Funny how these people don’t seem to know how this shit works.
Yawn
He should get a visit from the Sargent-in-arms and be forced to testify or be thrown into a cage with the immigrants he put there himself!
Guy is really creepy looking...
It's Law
What a coward. Wants to push these inhumane policies but so coward to explain them to American people. What an awful human being.
Where are all these Trump Supporters shouting lock him up? They were shouting that en masse for Hillary, remember them at Trump rallies shouting “lock her up, lock her up”.
Who is surprised.
Hey Congress, Lucy moved the football again
Why ? Is it because he cannot come out in daylight ?
Is it because he can’t appear in the daylight without bursting into flames
Then hold him in contempt and obstruction.
Lock him up!
He can be held in contempt! Can run but he can’t hide!!
The Devil on earth, with no accountability.
Does really know politics like nobody else? He won't testify voluntarily, you mean to say
Hold him in contempt and arrest his smarmy ass. 😕
Oh, yes he will.
Then first comes contempt. Next comes the fine. Then comes Miller in a baby cage.
It’s so pitiful that they are all such cowards. The more Donald fights this the faster impeachment hearing approach.
LockHimUp
Bring him to jail
Rs do you care even a tiny bit about democracy?
Subpoena him and when he refuses, throw him jail for refusal.
Chicken!
Lock this racist up.
RepCummings
If we let this creep get away with this this is the end of rule of law
LOCK HIM UP & THROW AWAY THE KEY 🖕🏽😡
This mfkr will straight go to jail.
Isn’t this what subpoenas are for? If he defies the subpoena, separate him from his family.
Cuff him.
DerangedDonald realDonaldTrump just doesn't get oversight.
Good he already testified enough is enough
Nobody will unless the Congress convinces the Supreme Court that there is a reason to override the presidents executive privileges
Congress shouldn’t fool around with these jokers. They are seriously undermining the rule of law. It’s just like dealing with an unruly child. There have to be consequences for bad behavior.
wanna bet ?
Oh yes he will
Can he go to jail if not obeying a supernatural!
Impeach miller
Not a surprise 😠
Weasels generally don’t.
I won't pay taxes this year. I'm not following any govt laws from now on. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Lawlessness
Subpoena him, arrest him if he doesn’t show up..
subpeona him and then when he ignores it throw him in jail
If he was subpoenaed & refuses to testify, find him in contempt and put him in jail. He apparently had a major roll in the decision to separate kids from families at the border so let’s see how he feels about being locked up.
Yes he will. 😊
The hearing would have to be conducted at night, for the obvious reason...
When did Lous Learner testify? Oh, that’s right she didn’t.
Coward.
Yes he will
subpoena his sorry ass
Gutless wonder!
Qu'elle surprise.
Just like his boss, when it comes time to sit and spew out his nonsense on the record, under oath, in person, he picks up his skirt and runs away. Subpoena this lackey, already!
realDonaldTrump and WhiteHouse should absolutely refuse to cooperate with these clearly partisan investigations. Republicans behaved shamefully during Obama's administration, now Democrats have eclipsed them; American citizens suffer as lawmakers play political games.
I guess he ran out of spray-on hair. Am I the only one who thinks Miller may be the more evil twin of Sherlock's nemesis Moriarty as played by Andrew Scott?
Wait WHAT!? You mean the Trump admin is RESISTING Democrats!? First Trump hijack's Bill Clinton's MAGA and now he's taking over the RESISTANCE 🤣
Looks like a subpoena should be the next step, but do the Dems have the will? I am beginning to wonder if they are just trying to drag out things until the 2020 election?
Another case of poor deportment by Stephen Miller.
Bawk bawk ~~ chicken!!! Another cream puff working like a bulldog on his agenda.
Good! No previous or current WH staff should have to testify!
LockThemAllUp
Of course he doesn't want to. He's so guilty but he's also one of the worst public speakers in the admin. Hopefully congress will force him to appear.
Glad he will avoid that sideshow
Why is it that the left and the Democrats don't wanna do a damn thing for Americans? They just bitch and whine all day long
Damn, you know that testimony would be entertaining as hell too.
He have to be in contempt if he refuses an subpoena?
Thats good. It will save Congress the burden of hosing down the hearing room after he leaves.
Mission Accomplished.
Hard to believe the Trump administration would intentionally be uncooperative. His good horns and pitchfork must be at the cleaners.
SuzanneinLGB LockHimUp
If he won’t testify, file contempt of Congress charges and lock him up until he does.
Contempt of Congress PressSec SUBPOENAS are coming OH SCHITT GETTEM OUTTA HERE MY AFRICAN AMERICAN OVER THEIR LOCKEM UP LOCK HIM UP LOCK HIM UP RepCummings treason hearings are coming POTUSPressPool
Bet he does
Let's be fair, he's often sleeping upside down above Trump's desk, wrapped in a cocoon of his own wings after he finishing a hearty meal of swallowing immigrant toddlers whole. He can't just reschedule that to appease Congress.
If they want him to testify, just offer him a fat baby and he will show up.
So he can be subpoenaed and then arrested when he doesn’t- that’s a plan...
This Democratic body has about as much spine and power as a jellyfish 💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🐙🐙🐙
'We have nothing to hide!' claims administration, while hiding everything.
Of course not !! ....if he did he would lie thru this teeth ...a tRump wanna be !!!!! 😡
SUBPOENA TIME!!!
Congress wasn't allowed to provide a heat rock for him.
Why not?
Because they are all so transparent and cooperative...corrupt to the core
Incorrect
Congress gets no more time to fart around. The clock is now ticking.
Subpoena him already...this is ridiculous!
arrest him for contempt and through his butt in a cage.
