DOJ: .. congressional subpoenas that ask witnesses to appear without counsel are “legally invalid.”

Schiff: "Crap, I didn't think of that"....

Barr, where is the report?

Absurdity has ruled the Justice Department for decades now. Don’t you think it’s time to get back on track?

While I appreciate this move, we deserve better.

Get with it!

“Attorneys representing House Democrats did not immediately respond to a request for comment.”

This will be characterized as Obstruction of Justice.

One thing the Democrats learned from the Mueller Investigation has to be they need an escape hatch when it goes bad and it will.It seemed like Mueller was suffering to end it all but the Democrats didn’t have any escape.

What do you suppose would happen if it was revealed in testimony that it was the DOJ that was the impetus to request assistance from Ukraine in corruption investigations involving U.S. officials?

I’m not saying that they did, but what if Ukraine wasn’t cooperating with DOJ investigations and asked the President to make the request for more cooperation?
If true, they’re holding that card close to the vest. Unless, of course, it is outside of the purview to make such a request.

Attorneys representing House Democrats did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Probably because their jaws were on the floor...

Yep...I don't doubt that at all, Schiff and his legal beagals really fumbled on this one.

Kangaroo courts don’t have to follow due process. It’s in the Constitution somewhere.

I'm surprised this thread doesn't have more replies.

This DOJ position is actually a remarkable development.

legally invalid...what is the subject oh house investigation? resolution too broad to give proper notice?:

(r) Due process requires that a witness before a congressional investigating committee should not be compelled to decide, at peril of criminal prosecution, whether to answer questions propounded to him without first knowing the “question under inquiry” with the same degree of explicitness and clarity that the Due Process Clause requires in the expression of any element of a criminal offense. Sinclair v. United States, 279 U.S. 263. Pp. 208-209.

long discussion here from supreme court decision on congressional subpoenas-is impeachment inquiry sufficient or must resolution state cause (crime)of inquiry?

Isn’t this a standard issue thing that the Democrats tried to do away with?
