Yeah, that subpoena on the FBI low-T dork really worked well.

Nobody respects congress any more.
Nobody.

Geez Dems, how about its NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS what they discussed. Do these Dem idiots really believe that President Trump had to beg Russia to hack into the DNC emails..he could have gotten any pimple faced 19 year old American kid to do it for nothing

No need, I was there via a planted bug. Here is part of what was said:

TRUMP: Schumer seems to be light in the loafers which is OK, but we think he’s been diddling kids.

PUTIN: We tried to get an agent to diddle Hillary but no one would touch her. No wonder Bill cheated on her. Who wouldn’t?

Here’s what he told Putin:

“This is my first election. After my second, I will have more flexibility”.

This makes as much Constitutional sense as using the 25th Amendment to declare Trump "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”

If Trump tells them anything the progress he made will be undermined and criticized moving us right back where he started. We voted for him. He will tall us in due time.

If obozo could extend Executive Privilege over the misdeeds of erc “my people” holder, President Trump could do the same for someone who is basically a recording device.

Executive privilege.

“The interpreter is not part of the administration in any fashion.”

Yes, she is. She is only being questioned to learn what the President said in private, and what he said in private is privileged.

Anyone can ignore a congressional subpoena. Not a single person it’s been fined or arrested for flipping the finger to Congress. Just wad it up and throw it in the trash.

Isn’t there some sort of interpreter/client privilege?

OTOH, if PDT had ‘promised’ Putin that the talks would be strictly confidential and HE (PDT) would never tell a soul, doesn’t that make the Interpreter ‘fair game’?

One could only imagine that the English Interpreter for PUTIN is being told what to say in public, why doesn’t PDT just do the same...

But the Russian interpreter can figure on retiring in a Gulag while the American Intrepreter had better stay away from the Clintoons and don’t go anywhere near Ft Marcy or other know Clinton ‘hangouts’.

I don’t understand where the idea comes from that the President must disclose his private conversations to Congress.

Would sure be interesting to know exactly what O and his people had to say to Iranians...and tons of others for that matter.

This is insanity on a new level.

This is what happens when you think the swamp is just gonna drain itself.
************************************

Precisely.

WE have to drain the Swamp by first removing from office the Bush League Republicans who are defending the witch hunt and obstructing the MAGA agenda.

How about “None of your damn business. That’s why they call it a private conversation.”

Anyway, it was probably just about golf, grandchildren, yoga, etc. Nothing to see here, move along.

- If the interpreter were to respond to a subpoena, he could use the Stzrok approach and respond that the information is classified and only the President can declassify.

Except that the interpreter, being a State Dept employee, would probably love sticking it to the President.

First the VP has to be in on the dea. Then per the 25th amendment Trump writes Congress a note that he is fit to resume his duties and he does so. If the VP AND Cabinet contest, then it requires a 2/3 vote of both houses for the VP to continue to hold office.

Impeachment is easier.
