White House tells Democrats it won't cooperate in impeachment hearings

White House letter at link.

The White House on Friday signaled it will not participate in future impeachment proceedings in the House and called on House Democrats to end their impeachment inquiry.

White House counsel Pat Cipollone, responding to a 5 p.m. deadline set by Democrats, wrote in a letter to the Democratic chairman of the House Judiciary Committee that it would be a “reckless abuse of power” for House Democrats to adopt articles of impeachment and “would constitute the most unjust, highly partisan, and unconstitutional attempt at impeachment in our Nation's history.”

“House Democrats have wasted enough of America's time with this charade,” Cipollone wrote in a one-page letter to Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.).

Understand your anger but I am supporting this President and those few Republicans that defend him.

“Good. Now refuse to sign any Bills until this garbage stops.”

I wish he could stop all salaries to congress until they actually do some real work.

I'd love to see Trump holding up the front page of the NYT showing the words IMPEACHED!!! similar to what Truman did when he defeated Dewy. I bet the NYT already has that page in layout.

“This shi! could stop immediately if President Trump and the Republicans want to.”

Exactly, and they don’t want to.

This is making the Democrats look terrible going into the 2020 elections. The American people are getting a good look at just how immature the Democrats are and how misplaced their priorities are when there are serious problems that need their attention.

To the voters, this is less about the corruption and more about who is acting like a grownup and focusing on what they were elected to do - and the Democrats are not. They are acting like a jilted boyfriend trying to win the girl back the wrong way.

You aren’t going to win the girl back by saying nasty things about the other guy and sneaking around eavesdropping and trying to take compromising photos. It just makes you look like a weirdo stalker.

While the Democrats have remain obsessed with their witch hunts, President Trump has been keeping promises and the American people are getting used to him as President.

The sky isn’t falling, he’s not starting wars, the economy is solid - there is no way the voters will want to try one of these ass hat Democrats when things are already OK - especially when they are all acting batshit crazy.

I’m good with that. That must also include the upcoming spending bill.

Impeachment is a politic and constitutionally mandated action of the House of Representatives.

There is no place for the executive branch in House Impeachment activities.

.....
It’s the best hope to preserve the country.
If one will not support them, us, I say good riddance. We must fight the rat party. Attack them on all fronts.

NUTS!!! Americans don’t surrender.

The Germans didn’t get the message in Bastogne and neither do the Democrats.

Interesting. If no CR is passed, when will be the next (D-caused) shutdown?

Close resemblance to Kellyanne Conway. Saw her on some show earlier today, but didn't have the sound on to hear anything, though she wasn't doing any finger & hand motions like that, she probably was verbally.

‘...Is there any doubt Donald Trump is a genius at this sort of thing? Clearly this impeachment circus is revealing to the American public what a bunch of ass-clowns the Democrats are, and is no longer working in their favor....”
Yep...best POTUS ever. He has ripped the mask off of them for all the world to see. And what do we see? COMMUNISTS, the whole lot of em. American-hating, anti-freedom communists.

That’s the way to do it.

Tell Pelosi to shove it.

There’s no reason for Trump to participate in a kangaroo court... or for any of us to watch that liberal garbage. Enough is enough.

GOP Senate is full of gutless wonders just slightly better than Mitt Romney who is a disgrace. By the way, shame on Utah for handing the country Mitt Romney.

Has Congress actually passed any bills in the past two years?
