I'd have to agree with the Law professor. I've read the Constitution a thousand times now (keep an @ACLU pocket copy in my bag), and nowhere in Article 2 does it grant such power to the President (to shield his Executive staff or Cabinet from the oversight of Congress).
Yesterday @HouseJudiciary interviewed #HopeHicks. The @WhiteHouse claimed absolute immunity preventing her from testifying about her time there.
Today we held a hearing on lessons from the #MuellerReport, bipartisan perspectives. Watch what the GOP witness had to say about this:pic.twitter.com/yRB7i7i3OP
